salut de france! thats probably not right but my french is still a bit ify! the good thing about this keyboard is exclamation marks dont need the shift key!!!!!!!!the bad things include that i cant find the question mark, full stops need shift, i dont know where the apostrophe is and i cant work out how to get to the at sign for email adresses because it seems to be third in line on one of those keys that has lots of signs to choose from. and its not the one with the specials fn key either. also, the m and a and w letters are weirdly placed and the numbers all require shift. keep in mind this is a laptop keyboard.
anyway, thast probably all quite boring for you so lets get to business...we are here in france and its not all that cold. i havnt even used my coat yet and im in a tshirt right now - show how heated it is inside. i havent done much yet sorry! yes the plane flights were fine, but paris airport was a bit of a nightmare. luckily we didnt have to get our luggage before our flight to montpellier, but the annoying thing was everyone seemed to know where to go and what to do except us! luckily mia was being very self-directed and asked a security guard about what to do and he directed us down what looked like the back staircase but whiwh was actually the way down to the screens that display the flights! from there it was all good...we arived at montpellier and were wisked away by our exchange families once we had collected our bags (which were thankfully there!) since arriving here i have not left the house and have slept a lot! i felt a bit sick yesturday...probably a mixture of nervousness, homesickness and jetlag! alix has gone to school today for just a few hours in the morning and after that i will go out into montpellier with her!
thanks for all your messages...i promise to post some photos when i work out how!
cya,
emma.

hope you have heaps of fun in montpellier - france sounds über cool and i am tres envious!!
take billions of photos, so as mel said, i can live vicariously though others...i know what the word vicarious means from psych :P lol
on another completely unrelated note....zubin's not coming back to EC next year...i'm devestated :(
also (sorry to crash your france blog with all this other junk, but i can't be bothered writing it in an email), i handed in laura's resume today (hi laura!!!) so fingers crossed...
apart from that, i am tres über bored without you guys here, however i did go shopping today - mum bought me two pairs of shoes, and i bought her a coffee. martin seemed to think that was an unfair exchange...LOL

Argh!! So jealous of you!!
I hate international airports. They get so confusing :(
Now.. remember what I said about bringing me back a cute french boy..!!
Hey emma!
I hope you are enjoying France!! wahhh, I wish I was there - don't take all those pastries for granted, yummmm. You have to take lots of photos so my camera feels loved, I'm sure it missed going to the beach lol. How annoying are the french keyboards! i remember it took me ages to work out how to do the @ sign - and now i have forgotten, so you will have to find out again.
Post some photos as soon as you can,
Lots of love, Kate
okay emma - the apostrophe is on the key with 4, just press the key by itself. and to get the @ symbol, press with the 'Alt gr' key, which is on the bottom right hqnd side of the keyboqrd. I'll probqbly see you today, so, a bientot
Coucou Emmie!
