moving in

Just to let those of you know who are reading this, of course I'll be fine. Of course I'll get used to everything. Hey, I basically just unpacked all of my clothes. I just never thought I'd be this unhappy about the whole situation. But I know things will change. Trust me, I'm not ungrateful or anything. It's just difficult.

I'll send pictures of my room soon and let you all know what happens later tonight...some meeting or something. And I really do still have to see Paris...I got lost just south of the city, so...

So far thought the stereotype about French people is pretty true. I had one woman give me false directions and a vendor glare at me when I was buying water. Sure I can't speak French. Sure I should have tried to learn more. Sure I'm embarrassed and frustrated because of it. But I said hello and thank you in French and that can't be enough? Oh well.

Anyways, I just arrived an hour ago and I already got myself internet access, my computer plugged in, my clothes unpacked, and now to be a little more productive. I promise I'll look on the bright side of things, but I'm already looking forward to going back.

A - so glad you arrived! Just ignore those rude French people - Paris is a wonderful city, inspite of it's inhabitants. Jet lag is tough - you'll feel better soon! Can't wait for your next entry.
