It's been a whirlwind of a week since I arrived in Paris last Sunday. I'm doing an intensive language program for 3 weeks so I got here and jumped right into orientation stuff on Monday and classes Tuesday. I have class from 9:00-5:00 every weekday, so it's been hard getting used to the idea that I'm actually IN Paris, since I've mostly been sitting in class every day at the University. But I've been getting a hang of the public transportation and I'm kind of getting my bearings in the city (which is surprisingly confusing!) Yesterday though I went to the Eiffel Tower with a girl I met in one of my classes and then we walked along the Seine past a lot of the really famous sites of Paris all the way to Notre Dame. It was beautiful and the architecture was absolutely amazing! Most of the people I've met so far have been here since September, so they've already done all of the "touristy" things, but I'm ok with being a lame tourist for a few weeks at least :)
The rest of the people in my program (I'm one of 3 who are here early for the intensive language class) arrive next week, so that will be nice to have more people to do things with, and I start regular classes in 2 weeks. I'll only have class for 3 hours a day once the language program is over, so I'll have so much more time to explore the city.
I'm living in an awesome apartment with 3 other girls, including my best friend Valerie, so it's great to have her here. I'm excited for the semester to start and to really get into the swing of things, and I also can't wait to travel a bit (I'm already talking about trips to Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Italy, England, and maybe a few other places, I want to go everywhere!). We all know I'm a terrible blogger, but I'll try and keep this kind of sort of up to date! Love you all and miss you!
