Much less stressful today, I didn't get out of bed until after 1 (it's me after all) and then we had a little walking tour of brussels, we being me, my housemate allison, the boy dallin, the girl who was here first semester too becky (she's from Nebraska) and the Resident Director Sabine. Allison and I were late, oops, gotta work on that, but we took the train without any difficulty. We saw the Grand Place and Manneken Pis (exactly what it sounds like) and then just walked around to different shops. I tried to take a lot of pictures, but it's not my forte. I'll put them up when I have more. We were done with that around 6. Then I talked with my housemate allison.
She's from south New Jersey (which is apparently much better than north New Jersey) and goes to Rowan University. Her grandfather built her house which has a huge yard and she works at a restaurant at home. She speaks some French and wants to travel just as much as I do which is good. She's also a vegetarian and has an older sister and a younger brother and used to be blonde and is allergic to jewelry that's not platinum or gold...yeah...that was most of what I learned.
My luggage arrived too! So now I'm mostly unpacked. I got a phone as well, a cheap one that was probably new in '04 (a long time ago in technology land), which I'm planning to use in case I get lost...a distinct possibility, or if I need to call someone in Belgium, or for crazy emergencies which hopefully won't happen.
Tomorrow we're going to the Resident Director Sabine's house in the morning for ISA orientation. I'm not sure what that will entail but I suppose I'll find out.
Well, it's almost 1 a.m. here, so I should probably go to bed, seeing as I have to get up in the morning.
Lauren :)
