Paris

It has been 5 days since Ive landed in Paris and there is TOO much to write. I guess ill just try to catch up on the days so far.

as we got in line for baggage check on sunday we were notified that our tickets were not correct, we were told that the 5:30 flight that we had been headed for would not be the plane taking us to paris. instead we would be taking the flight at 11, and it still being 3 in the afternoon meant that we would then have a thrilling 8 hours to enjoy in the airport. i know that sounds like a blast.. but it really wasnt. we grabbed some dinner, talked.. complained.. read.. or tried to read.. ate.. ate.. and ate some more. then FINALLY got on the plane. WOO!

we landed on monday at about 11:15AM is was pouring here.. and even through the gray wet fog.. i KNEW that wouldnt want to leave.. and after the first day of making my way through speaking very bad.. and very little french, i knew taht i wanted to learn it.. once i got here, it was so easy for me to catch on, and use the accent.. much easier than it was when i was home, trying to figure out how to say certain words. we took a bus ride about and hour to the hotel.. got our stuff unpacked, and then had a meeting with the other group of students that was here from my school (their trip was june 1-15) they showed the collections they had designed while being here (on posters.. not actualy garments) and then we all went to a group dinner. later my roommate jen and i went out for a drink with some of the girls.. we were exhausted but they were leaving the next morning and we could resist. that night i felt very very ill. didnt sleep at all, and woke up to face a busy first day of classes feeling a little bettter.

okay thats all ill write for now.. its 5:30 here and we have yet to step foot into a clothing store and im dying too.. this is our first have a good couple hours of free time. stores close at abou 7.. and it stays light til about 10.. which is sooooo weird, because it feels like 3 buts its really 6..

anyways.. tomorrow we will go to giverny and versailles.... =)
