It is June 15th, and I'm here in Chambery, France! I love the fact that we are right next to the Alps, and here is a picture from my window!
My travels started from Boise, ID to Denver, CO, then Denver, CO to Calgary, Canada, then Calgary, Canada to London, England. I then got on a bus for a 1 hour ride from the Heathrow airport to the Luton airport. I checked in just in time to hop a flight to Geneva, Switzerland. Once in Switzerland, I went though customs, the third third time in 24 hours, and caught a shuttle to my hotel. I spent one night there, and took a taxi to the Geneva train station and rode the train from Geneva to Chambery, France where I am right now.
The weather here is pleasant and perfect for the base of the Alps. I'm so excited because I've met some other international students (from Germany, Poland, and Czech Republick) and we watched a Football game last night. I don't really like football (soccer) but it was fun to watch with them, they really get into it! We then played table football (foosball) and had a great time at that. I was informed very early not to call football soccer, so I will refuse to say it and not get into trouble!
I've yet to meet the other students from the United States because the arrive this afternoon, but I'm looking forward to meeting them and spending time with Americans :) My friends I met last night are great though!
Tomorrow I start school at the Groupe Ecole Superieure De Commerce Chambery Savoie, or the Chambery Graduate School of Business. Some of you might be saying...."What?" I know I'm an English Major, but I wanted to study International Business here and I'm going to learn valuable things to hopefully get me a traveling job someday! :)
au revoir for now!
