I have arrived safe and sound in Rouen! Well, not technically Rouen...Franqueville-St-Pierre and then Belbeuf. I don't know when I will have internet again so am going to try and write everything down now.
After a surprisingly non-hectic ferry and train ride, Karine picked me up at the station and we went to her house. Her empty house which she was moving everything into...needless to say I felt like a bit of a spare part. She's lovely though. I haven't had much of a chance to practice my French yet as I've been spoken to in English and any French that has been going on has been very loud and fast 'moving things into a house' vocab, if you get my gist. But basically, the room in which I'm meant to be staying is full of stuff so I can't stay there yet. So I'm currently staying with Annick, one of the other English teachers at the lycée who is also lovely. I feel very strange at the moment as I'm not sad/unhappy I'm just in a very strange state where my emotions are running quite high! I'm holding it together for now though. I realise this is a very unsubstantial entry but this blog is just as much for me as for anyone else and I want to make sure I remember everything as it happens. After an hour and a half long Skype session I am more than ready for bed. Expect far more interesting entries when I have actually explored my surroundings!
