holy crap i'm actually in france!

I got in friday night afte 22hrs of travel. we first stopped in london and i had to switch airports by myself which was TERRIFYING! The lady at customs was a total bitch and called me out when i wrote my nationality as "caucasian" rather than the CORRECT answer which would have been "american". LOL.
Gatwick airport is really weird and they don't tell you your bording gate until 30 minutes before your flight leaves and you have 15 minutes to HALL ASS to that particular gate. I had like 2 hrs to spear before they even announces my gate so i stopped by this smoothie place called "PIP" with a sub-shop smoothie in mind...i ended up paying $4.30 (2,15L) for a dixie cup full of the most sour juice i've ever put in my mouth...hold the ice, hold the sugar, hold the fruit! WTF!
On the flight to Marseilles, i sat next to these two men from india and by that point i had already been traveling for 19hrs with no sleep. These two would NOT LEAVE ME ALONE! THey kept asking me all these personal questions, asking me what i know about india, offering to buy my beer, to share their beers with me, and trying to explain everything that was going on with the plane and how it flew....i don't think that they even picked up on the slightest hint of disinterest b.c they did not stop for the whole 2hrs of the flight.
EVENTUALLY i arrived in LACOSTE. It's beautiful here and it took me awhile to actually understand that i am indeed in france. everything looks sooo fake, like it's the most elaborate film set ever. We live on the side of a mountain and it seems like the only direction is uphill. I'm seriously gonna have the nicest ass by the time i leave this place.
There is a boci-ball quart in our commons area which takes up alot of my time lately.
The food is great but at 12AM, when the bakery and dinning hall are closed we all sit around and complain about how badly we're craving things like : Doritos, calzones from Vinnies,Chips and Salsa, mexican food from Carlitos. everyone send me FOOD! and cards...and love letters.
at night it gets pretty boring here, and b/c my room has the best wi-fi access, we have a LAN party every night til 3AM, which sucks for me b/c im the only one without a laptop.
I'll give my address later ( i don't have it on me)

HOLY CRAP LUNCH TIMe!
