I made it!

After a LONG day, I'm at my apartment in Tilburg, where my school is.  The flight from Miami to London was about 8 hours.  I sat next to a old British couple on the plane, and they were nice, but I could barely understand a word they said! We were supposed to have an hour between flights, but by the time I got off the plane, there was only about 15 minutes left before the gates closed for the connection flight, so we didn't make it. We had to wait around for another hour and a half to get on the next one.

Thank god when we got off in Amsterdam, Ardavan (a Tilburg University student who studied at UCF last semester) was waiting at the airport for us, so he escorted us to the train station and to the school.  Everyone said we wouldn't have any trouble getting from the airport to the Tilburg train station, but without him, I'm pretty sure we would have ended up in the wrong country or something.  

Other then that, we just did basic welcoming things with housing, getting bikes, etc, and I went to the grocery store with my floor-mates.  I'm really tired and jet lagged, and a little sick.  I'm mostly moved into my room.  It's the biggest room I've ever had! But there's practically no furniture, so I haven't figured out how to organize my stuff yet.  I'll post pictures when it's a little neater.

On the plus side, its not nearly as cold as I expected it to be!! I could walk around in a long sleeved shirt and a sweater today and be fine! But apparently it was freezing a couple weeks ago, and it's just warmer than usual right now. 

I miss you all already!!
