Better update: still haven't slept, but came very close to falling asleep at the table while I waited a thousand years to go up to my room, which smells like feet but isn't too terrible? It's also on the first (read: second) floor which is awesome considering how much luggage I have. So exhausted I can't even stand it. Also, there is a grocery store literally next door, so I got a demi-baguette and hope to enjoy it with the peanut butter I brought from home, provided I ever stop being nauseous with nerves/exhaustion. I did meet some other girls in the same program- two in my same general area, two on their way elsewhere. The architecture around my hostel is gorgeous, totally stereotypical France and OMG GUYS I AM IN FRANCE WHAT I AM DOING HERE? Almost started crying in the grocery store because nothing was familiar (false: most things are similar) and I am an exhausted nutcase, but oh lord.

Hopefully my next update will be less insane and more YAY! :D! YAY!

Within two weeks, there will be something now-unfamiliar in that grocery store that has become your FAVORITE THING EVER.

I'm glad you made it alright and thanks for checking in.
Get some rest, my Sabrina fair. Tomorrow it will all be right.
You totally belong there. Own it, baby.
Love you.

Oh honey - I'm just reading this with the WIDEST GRIN on my face! You are in FRANCE, MADI!!! You are LIVING! You are THERE!!! I'm just so happy for you! Have the most awesome time ever, okay? And if you're touring around the country at some point, I'd suggest for you to go to Malmaison (J. Bonaparte's main residence). I've never been there, but it's on my bucket list.

*ALL THE HUGS IN THE WORLD!!!*

Hang in there, and remind yourself how awesome it is. Even if it doesn't seem like it for the first few days, you'll get used to it, and it will get more and more fun. I was really lonely for my first couple of days of travel, but your body and mind can adapt to pretty much anything. And yay for you being there! Very exciting stuff!

Glad to hear you made it safely!

I'm sure it'll all seem more familiar after sufficient sleep.

French bread, mmmmm! Eat a croissant for me. :p

How long have you gone without sleeping, you poor thing? Are you trying to adjust to the time change? I'm sure you'll be rested and having fun in no time! Take a few deep, calming breaths!
