What you've all been waiting for!

Hi, everyone! I am alive! And here's what I've been up to since I’ve been in Paris. Actually, I think I’ll break all of this up into a bunch of smaller posts so that you get the illusion that you’re behind in following my blog rather than me being behind in updating you.

The adventure of arriving at CDG:
•My flight was early
•I didn't have to do customs again in Paris after doing them in Amsterdam, but I didn’t know that, so I was slightly worried that I was slipping into the country illegally….
•I was two and a half hours early for my shuttle
•The shuttle company's English speakers who are on hand to help don't really speak English
•I found the pick-up point but then was shooed away by men in camo with big guns.
•My shuttle was half an hour late.

Our director had told us the best way to overcome jet lag is to not sleep, so the rest of the day is kind of a blur. I made it to the hotel and met up with everyone. We went on a boat tour on the Seine. It was great, except I fell asleep at least five times.
