its tiime to close my eyes, trust my instincts, and leap!

Hello world!
First off let me say that Devon and I dont have internet at the apt yet, so I have to use the schools for a few days. Secondly, the keyboards here are different and im losing patience with having to actively concentrate to type so a full update will come tomorrow when i bring my laptop. so for now, bullet points:

-flights went well and we went an epicly long time without sleep and food
-getting to a new country where they dont speak english is definitely overwhelming
-im happy
-food is phenomenal
-people are super nice
-going to a pub tonight, its our first official school welcome activity
-too much paper work and gov technicalities
-first day of class tomorrow, orientation went well today
-weathers nice
-apt is nice
-jet lag
-antibes is cute and cozy
-life is good
-i love you all and wish you were here!
