GTL Facilities

Today I accidently slept in until 1 PM (guess I can blame that on the jetlag, right?).  I used most of the afternoon to unpack and then I headed over to the GTL Administration offices to introduce myself and to pick up the towels and textbook that some awesome friends (Justin and Morgan) left me.  Thanks guys!  The administration ladies were about to leave, though, even though they said we could come in until 5:30 PM (it was only 4:30 PM).  Apparently this is typical of French people?  So, I have to go back tomorrow to pick up my key to the building and get some information about the semester.

After the trip to GTL, I met up with some people that just got to Lafayette today and we all went to Cora to get groceries and have dinner.  Cora was very similar to Walmart and I bought things I needed around the apartment mostly.  I did get a litre of Orangina Light, but I'm going to buy my food at the closer (and supposedly cheaper) Simply Market.  After dinner a bunch of us chatted in the hallway for awhile.  I'm really excited about making new friends and new memories here!

Here are some pics of my apartment and GTL:

This looks so fantastic Julie! I like the way your dorm looks, like the structure of it. Are you sharing an apartment with anyone?

Nope, I have a room to myself! The furniture is all from Ikea too! So cool :)
