Hey there, remember me?
salut tout le monde! kate here. the flight was ok - very long, 19 hours minus stops. i made a few friends on the way, though - a girl named julie who was going home to liverpool and a girl named meg who is also an afser, but living in bern instead of neuchatel. when we arrived in frankfurt, we had to catch a bus from the international airport to the domestic, and so we had to go outside. into the snow. all the other passengers on the bus were laughing at us (10 aussies, 20 south americans) because we were running around in the snow and taking lots of photos. the plane was delayed onc because of the snow, and once more because it had to be 'deiced'. anyway, and hour later we arrived in zurich. noemie and olivier came to meet me, and we drove two hours to get to olivier's apartment. this was on friday, and i left on thursady. it has been snowing on and off the entire tinem and the snow is a meter and 50 centimeters tall in some places. i started school yesterday. it is very difficult; at least i don't have to do german or maths, and the philosophy tzeacher is sick until thursday so today we played cards for two hours. there isn't a sub teacher, so that's good. we have an hour and a half for lunch, so i go home with noemie ad we eat a hot meal which is nice. we have to walk to and from school, and it is freezing! Like two degrees, or something. i am still jetlagged - i keep waking up at six, and falling asleep at seven. i have made a few friends - they are lorraine and solene, and a few others whose names i don't know. on the 18-19 of march i have an afs camp, which will be fun because i will be able to see my afs friends again. my french is improving (i had forgotten it all) and noemie and olivier speak english which is good. um... what else? fondue is wicked. so is potato gratin. updates will be scarce(er) from now, because at my hostmother's house we don't have a computer. um.. good luck to everyone in theier respective endevours, especially uni, and say hi to the non-lj-ers for me. i miss you all already, gros bisous and lots of love, Kate.
