Day 1874573593475349: September 15th

Today I moved into my new apartment the "Princess Suite," as it's known by FSU Staff and Students. I moved with Crisol, who was also having issues with those in my apartment. The two of us, along with 2 of our PA's are living in the giant loft style apartment. There is enough space for about 12/15 people, but it's just us.

My closet has doubled in size and I'm no longer cursed with bunk beds. We're not as cramped in the bedroom or the kitchen here either, which is great. Although the circumstances for moving were not the greatest, it was obviously just meant to be.

We also signed up for groups for our Pyrenees trip today. The rooming assignments got a little worrying for me, but Lia and Brittany helped me out. I'm not in the same group as any of the friends I've made here, though, so I guess we'll see how that goes. I could look at this as an opportunity to branch out and meet new people, but I also understand that by now most people already have their cliques. It's only a 7 hour bus ride, and 2 days though, I'll be fine. I think.

This has definitely been an interesting week. I think everything seems harder because I'm much farther away from home than most. I don't think any of the problems I'm having are strange for freshman, it's just a little different when classes are 15 people and there are about 80 FSA/FYA students total.

We leave for Paris in nine days. We're leaving from the FSU Pyrenees trip and taking a bus to another city to catch a flight from there. We'll have about 3 and half days in Paris so I'm excited about that.

I also got mail from my parents and Aunt Phyllis today and mail is always exciting...especially when it comes with "Airmail" and "International" stamped everywhere.

I ran into Dara and Jacqueline on my way to dinner. We went to the Kepab place right outside of the study center. They serve greasy, American food to go, it's amazing when all one wants is a burger and fries and no need to dress up. They don't open until 8/8:30 at night and stay open super late. They invited me over to chill on the floor, the floor is my choice, of their apartment for a while. Currently, I'm Skyping Jake, even though it's Tuesday, so it's been a pretty good night of a not so awesome day.
