Our first day in Swissy!!

Im here!! after a very long plane ride we finally arrived in Geneva. We boarded a butterfly stenciled bus and proceeded to take a 30 minute bus ride to the campus in Lausanne with the music playing, our lips singing along and our heads full of excitement. Its always a strange feeling to go somewhere for the first time and you have no idea where you are. Especially if its dark out. All we could see were outlines of hills and lights on the horizon.

When we arrived at the house we unpacked till about 2 o clock and crawled into our cozy beds. The beds are so comfortable and if I do say so myself, Michelle and I have the cutest room. We had a room on the first floor but had the privilege of room shopping because apparently the first floor was coveted by people who thought they were escaping the stairs of Peppperdine only to find that elevators are not as common or as large as one would like.

Then there is the view. Then i woke up the next morning i looked out the window to see a grey watered lake Geneva perfectly placed behind quant apartment buildings and hovering over the water was a grayish blue mist. Behind that a faint outline of the mountains. God has truly blessed all of us here.

Saturday we had orientation kind of stuff, we took a tour of the house and all of Lausanne. The city is so quant and gorgeous and fun! We walked to different historical sights within the city and got a complete history of everything. Unfortunately, I don't think i or anyone else on the tour could tell you a single thing they told us. Sleep deprivation hit us all pretty hard today.

We decided to walk the town for our first evening out and found a great pub that seemed to be the local hotspot. I was delegated as the speaker of our group because apparently I knew the most french out of the 5 people in our group but apparently not seeing as I almost ordered 5 liters of beer for 5 people. The waiter wasn't too pleased with my lack of understanding but in the end it all worked out and the 72 franc, 5 liter beer was not delivered to our table. Note to self, understand the menu before you try to order.
