I still do not have my laptop hooked up :s

Hello to everyone from Montpellier, France!

I am going to write a bit from the last 78 hours of my life.

09-09-09
I am on the plane! Terrified, but surviving. I am listening to Don't Panic by Coldplay.
"We life in a beautiful world. Yes we do!"
Leaving that airport was likely one of the hardest things that I'll ever have to do this year. Having a webcam really makes me appreciate technology and people smarter than me. Louis Daguerre, you are a genius.

Mom, I clenched onto the comfort cross you gave me the whole time i was taking off...and I've only cried once, so far...

"I'LL SEE YOU SOOONNNN" :)

Oh, and Twin Shores is absolutely the coolest to see from the sky... So is all of PEI.

Montreal Airport is very annoying and boring.
The internet wont work. I really want to talk to my mommy. The food here isnt great. i had a very bland turkey sandwich.
I have to get checked into AirCanada departing for Paris (!!) I really can't wait to see everything. It will be a very long night. Very long.

I am watching Just For Laughs-Gags to pass the time...There is a huge line up that I am not going to stand in...

Arrival to Paris: 8:30 am (that's 2:30am PEI time)
I had a cup of crappy airplane coffee, the sun is shining, and right now we're flying over Ireland. I got a sudden feeling of gratification when I realised this. Some day, I'll walk the streets of Dublin...Some day.
Right now it is 7;53am (in France time). This plane ride was painless and boring. Quite a bit turbulence.
I have nothing to complain about. Apparently there is a baby in the rear of the plane who is NOT happy...thank God for earplugs :)

Airport in Paris:

Boys and Girls of Camp Keir: You will be delighted to know that I took some advice from Tim and tore a hold in the bottom of a vomit bag while on the plane. It was 2am, and I was bored. God bless the poor soul that gets sick in it. -Amen.

Note to The World (mostly Men) from Paris, France: Choosing a seat in an airport terminal is like choosing a urinal; DON'T CHOOSE THE WRONG ONE! Otherwise, you end up sitting beside a creepy man who downloads photos of breeds of dogs from Google onto his laptop. He also talked to himself quite a bit. At least you men in urinals only have to experience this awkward feeling for aaproximately 40 seconds. Try 48 frikkin" minutes.

Oh, and the reason why I haven't been on the internet is because the lovely airports want me to pay by the hour for WIFI...which just wasn't ganna happen.

*************************************************************************************

I am now aboard my plane headed for Montpellier!
I am very tired, and I smell bad...and I need coffee.
Also, I can't wait to finally meet Alex and Ben.

*************************************************************************************
I am here! The house is tiny cmpared to mine, but cute. My room has mint green walls and my bedspread is flowery. I have a desk, a bookshelf and a dresser/closet. I got my woek schedule and it doesn't seem bad at all.

I'll (hopefully) get my lapotp hooked up to internet soon.
I got here, got all my stuff upstairs to ly room, had a shower, cried A LOT. Then called Mom and Dad and cried some more.

Alex sat on my bed with me and I showed him pictures of my family with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. Then, I told him he'd likely be bored with me soon, so he left to go play with Ben.

-Now, I'm still writing in this thing (this thing is the jorunal book that Deanna gave me. It has been very useful. Thanks!)

Fred arrived home from work and tried to get my internet hooked up, but there are complications, so I will be patient and wait for it to be resolved. I REALLY can't wait to get onto skype and see all of you, though.

I'll write more about today later, once it is almost finshed
