At the airport in Zurich, while I was waiting for the lady at the desk to tell me if there was room on the plane for me, I met this girl named Kait. We started talking and she told me that she's going to be working for a company called "Euroadventures" it's essentially the same thing like Discover Excursions from Spain and 'We Love Granada.' They're companies that help students travel to other countries or just around the country that they are studying in.
Kait and I met back up at the airport in Florence and we kept talking, she's super cool. There were 2 other people, and when I mentioned the street name that I had to get to, they said that they were going to the same place. Their names were Mark and Alina. Both from New York, and really nice too. We ended up sharing a taxi and we were asking the guy, so much information. Places to stay away from, best restaurants, best bars... you name it, we asked it! Once we got the student meeting point, we signed in and waited for our packets and inside there were keys to the apartment. Luckily for me there was a girl who lived in the same apartment building as me who had just arrived too. I said bye to Alina and Mark and got their names to add them on Facebook and stuff and then headed off with Ashling, I think that's how you spell her name? She seems cool.
Everyone seems cool, but that's how you want to be the first time you meet someone, you know? I feel like it takes a couple interactions with someone to actually know what they're like. I'm talking in general right now, not trying to say anything bad about anyone.
When we finally got to the apartment, which the rain and uneven streets were not the best combination, we couldn't open the front door, so we rang the buzzer and had the girls let us in. We couldn't open ANY doors. there are 3 until we're finally in the apartment. Ashling lives just across the hall from us with her 1 roommate, Gianna. Meanwhile, we have 6 people in our apartment.
I like it, it's modern and cute with white walls and gray accents. I met all of my roommates and at first, I started forgetting names. In our apartment we have, Sarah, Mikyla, Michelle, Tara (who knows Alex, Alex the French guy!!), Allie (who is my roommate) and then me.
I didn't eat dinner that night and I didn't really have breakfast the next day. We had to wake up at the butt crack of dawn which was basically 7:30 even we technically wanted to get up at 7:15. We had orientation at 8:45 at some place that no one knew where it was or anything. I would compare us to somewhat lost puppies, but who isn't when you get to a town that you don't know where anything is and shit.
We went to all the meetings and after that... I don't even know.
