In Paris!

I am in Paris. It is kinda hard to believe. I arrived on Wednesday and joined the rest of the Wellesley-in-Aix group. Yesterday we all tried to get over the jet lag. A few of us went to get lunch together. I think we stood out as Americans. This morning we had our first class. The professor spoke very quickly and it was hard to understand everything. This short course isn't graded, but it is supposed to give us an idea about what classes to sign up for in Aix.

This afternoon I went out with some of the other girls on the program in search of a cell phone. I bought one that I will be able to add minutes to from Orange. I hope I understood everything I was told about it. Most of the people I talked to in the stores immediately start talking to you in English. Even if we try to speak to them in French, they usually answer in English. Hopefully it will be different at the end of the semester.

I'm not sure what I am going to do tonight. I would quite like to visit the Eiffel Tower. In the next couple days I hope to visit many museums. It is very cold here at the moment. I hope it warms up so that it is more comfortable to walk around Paris. There is so much to see!
