I'm in France!!

I'm finally here! After thinking about it and looking forward to study abroad in France for so long, I'm actually here!! :)
The flights went well, they all arrived ahead of time. I didn't sleep much on the plane-I tried but it just didn't happen. We had a baby in front of us that cried off and on. I got "bumped up" to "europe select" on the flight from Amsterdam to Nice which basically meant I sat in the front of the plane and got different food than if I was in the normal section. It is 3:45 here so I guess it is 7 hours ahead, not 6 like I thought.
My roommate's name is Maisha and she is from the Netherlands. Her english is pretty good but after today we are going to speak French. She is 18, talkative and seems really nice. She is here the whole semester as well.
The room is nice. One annoying thing is that there are only two plug ins!!! and they are not by our desks so I think I will end up typing from my bed a lot!
It is very warm and sunny and amazing outside! I'm going to take pictures soon. I am torn between reviewing my french and just going to sit outside and absorb it all-we have to take a placement test and I feel like I remeber anything since I didn't have French last semester!!

I second what Shuey says! I'm glad your flight to France went well. Shuey, are you going to have a blog this semester? I asked to have one on the CSB/SJU website.

Stay in touch!
