En France!

Welp, I'm in France! I'd like to write a nice long recap, but I'm tired and ight now it's 6:15 pm--1:15 pm EST--and my brain isn't really sure what time it is, and I've been up since, like, ever. So here's a quick recap of important/interesting things!
My apartment is adorable, and Aix is adorable, and cute, and old: like all the buildings in Aix, my apartment is old, and still looks like it has the original windows from the 19th century. We're going out to eat in about an hour--my French colocataire (that's roommate) seems to think we're going to have a fete, but I don't think she realizes just how tired we all are. And also, I have no clothes.

Why do I have no clothes, you ask? What happened to my AWESOMELY PACKED suitcase??

Because it's lost somewhere in the French airline system! I only had one suitcase, and it is GONE--probably because my flight to Brussels got in too late for it to make the Marseilles flight on time...I hope. If not...I'm not going to think about it. There is nothing I can do, and apparently it happens enough for Maite (the very nice program director) to confidently tell me not to worry.

Anyway, I feel my French improving already, even though basically every shopkeep, airline employee, and taxi driver knows I'm American and starts to speak in English. I'm really looking forward to this--clothes or not (although having them may make it better).


Yay!
