Yesterday, I arrived in Juan-Les-Pins (where we are staying). The cab cost me 70 Euros. No one else was on my flight, so I couldn't split it with anyone. The place we are staying for the month is quite nice. I was supposed to room with another person, but things got messed up. When they booked the rooms, they were told that all the rooms were the same size...but they aren't. Some of the rooms have just one twin bed and a kitchen and some have a full sized bed with no kitchen. I chose the bed over the kitchen. This only happened to a few people. The rest of the group got normal rooms. It's alright, though. I enjoy having my own space. The shower is a little strange. There's a bathtub with a glass door that only covers half the length of the tub. The shower head is in the middle instead of on one side. It's one of those manual...hand...do-it-yourself shower heads. I'm pretty sure I got water everywhere during the showering process.
I speak absolutely no French. It can get frustrating once and awhile. I feel like a stupid American. Some of the people I hang out with know a little French, so they help out a little.
Today was orientation, which only lasted an hour. Our classroom is at a Best Western a few blocks away. After that, some of us went to a little store called Schlecker's...? It's like a CVS with no pharmacy. We then went across the street to get a few groceries. You have to bring your own bags. That was interesting. I bought some brie and crackers. I seem to be on a bread and cheese diet. Not on purpose. It just seems to be working out that way. You can get a bottle of wine for 1, 50 euros, but coffee is 4 euros. It's an interesting system. Carding doesn't exist.
Today, a bunch of us were going around the circle figuring out which celebs we looked like so we could pose as them at Cannes. I got Brittney Snow, Chloe Sevigny, and Zooey Deschanel with blonde hair....?
Anywho. I need to finish an assignment for one of the classes. Adieu.
