Finally Arrived

Well I've made it safe and I'm in my room in Lille! Well, technically I'm in a hallway trying to connect to wi-fi from another building, but I've gotten settled in my room for the most part and am so excited to be living here!  My room is a single, pretty big, and has a mini-fridge. BOMB!  Flying in to Brussels was not too bad flight wise and the city looked gorgeous.  I can't wait to visit Belgium later on.  The train ride was very easy and cheap from Brussels to Lille.

The city is quaint but also vibrant and I can't wait until I know it like the back of my hand.  I'm starting today by going to the nearby grocery store and boulangerie.  I got a little acquainted around campus already when I walked with all my suitcases to my dorm from the office where I got my keys and whatnot (it felt like eternity and I've never sweat through three layers so fast). The campus looks phenomenal!

That's it for now I guess... Oh and the pics - the first one is of a wall in the building (it's kind of an old building) with some graffiti and of course the first thing I saw was the big Carpe Diem!  The next is of one half of my room and the other half (kind of) is after that!
