Hey guys,
.
The flight went well… if you don’t count the fact that Venetia and I nearly missed it… and we thought we’d be the first boarders… Ha! We didn’t realise we had to go THROUGH that section to get to the actual check-in point :/… So we were calmly waiting beside it, while all of these other people were gushing through. At 15.20, the time our flight was supposed to be… taking off, we dandered through talking about where we should choose to sit… This is when we heard a message booming throughout the airport with our names attached. We ran. I’ve never ran so fast before, trailing a 10KG carry-on bag behind me. By the time we actually got to the correct check-in point, the women there weren’t in the mood for laughing as I breathlessly explained…
.
Once we’d checked in, there was still another hallway marathon to go; I could feel my left arm being unwillingly stretched against the weight of the miniature suitcase and the speed of my feet. By the time we reached the plane, everyone else was already installed in their seats and I was battling with asthma. I didn’t want to have to hold the plane up any longer, by making them wait yet another moment, while rummaging through my case to find my inhaler so rather I just sat there wheezing quietly.
.
The trip was absolutely gorgeous! As the plane ascended higher and higher, the whole world became so much smaller, it was simply stunning! It’s quite surreal when the windows start to attract little ice crystal formations and the clouds begin appearing below you! The flight was only an hour and a half and it went without a bump.
.
We arrived an hour late to very strange weather… It was sunny! I didn’t know England was so hot, it might just be fluke because of the time of year we’ve arrived but I’m not complaining… Today is the third day it’s raining since we’ve been here and we’ve been here for *pulls up calendar* exactly three weeks! Flip, I didn’t realise it had already been so long.
.
I’m shocked at how much we’ve done though, since being here. I’m already a member of a library, have found and chosen a college and sent my application in, acquainted myself with… a lovely group of acquaintances and did my first public performance at an open mic night in the nearest town! Pretty flipping impressive 
!
.
It’s been so great seeing all of the family again and I’m already settling down, surprisingly well. I’m missing France like a mad person but being able to converse in your own language is just so… easy! I’ve been constantly laughing my head off because of how my sense of humour has become so… well, just so easily entertained because of the lack of English-speaking entertainment in France. Even the most lame jokes, tickles me… for ages. I really have to learn to control myself .
.
It’s raining today therefore, I’m going to really get stuck into studying. I’ve made myself a list and I just keep adding to it… It’s becoming scary to look at. The time just flies by so quickly here and I’m never getting anything, that I’ve been meaning to do, done! Now I’m hungry, so I’m going to go downstairs and probably become distracted 
.
Here’s to hoping I don’t *crosses fingers*.
.
Hoping to hear from you guys soon!
