My First Week Here!

First, I want to comment on how comfortable my two flights were; with Delta from Bangor to N.Y., and with Air France from New York to Paris. I was well fed on both flights, especially with a grand vegetarian dinner on Air France (très impressive), with my own television viewing screen and ear-phones at my seat. I also met some wonderful people to converse with during my flight and while waiting for my flight.

It's amazing how many travelers there are in the world. It's taking me twice as long to type this text, compared to at UM, because the keyboards are set up differently here in France. Some of the keys are the same, but others are in another location. I think it will take some adapting like so many other things around here, which I will address along the way.

During my first week here, I have made my room feel like home, plus I have attended several classes, which we have been encouraged to do. In fact, my French has improved already. I'm on my way to another class now, so I'll sign off until later. Continue to check my blogspot!

Well Jinny, sounds like you've gotten there and have been making a lot of efforts to get comfortable. Did you bring a camera? Are you going to post pictures? Keep posting and your not missing anything here in Maine. It's cold and very snowey.

PS. Sara Willett wants to know where are your bunnies?
