Je suis arrivée

I am in Montluçon! After two flights, a bus, a train, a cheap hotel in Clermont, qnother train, and another bus, I arrived here yesterday. My supervisor, Dominique, helped me find a room in the residence universitaire which is quite minimal, but very cheap - just under €125 for the month of October. There is another assistant here also. He lives down the hall from me in the dorm so we've been exploring together.

I am not yet accustomed to the French keyboard (several letters and punctuation are in the 'wrong' places) so it is more challenging than usual to type. I plan to write more about what I've been doing and I will post it later when I have more time because I believe my limit here is close to expiring.

I hope all is well with everyone, please leave me comments and send me emails.

And also, I needed the damn towel. I was so smelly yesterday when I arrived that a shower was inevitable. I had to stand in the stall and drip dry for a few minutes.
