Finally Here!

We finally made it to Aix. Fortunately there was NO flight delay today so we left right at 2:30 pm like they promised. Unfortunately...they lost my luggage on the way and said that they will be sending it to me. BUT luckily I packed extra clothes and toothbrush and everything like that in my carry on so I should be ok for a few days.

I met my roommate today and we both had lunch with my landlady who picked me up at the TGV (train) station which made everything so much easier than trying to find a taxi and pay for a taxi and what not. After lunch we went out to figure out where the study abroad office was and we FINALLY found it after a long trek (or forced march as some people like to call it). After this the two of us are going to head to a grocery story to stock up so that we have something to eat tonight for dinner.

All the people here are fashionable and my roommate and I both feel like we stick out like a soar thumb, but we figure we can fix that. So, we will see how the next few days go. It will be nice to have the orientation tomorrow so that I'm able to better familiarize myself with the town in general (which is much bigger than I had anticipated).

There really isn't anything too exciting other than the fact that I landed! So, I will get back to you with more information and exciting events when I have something new.
