I had my first class at HEC yesterday. It took me about 3.5 hrs on the train which sucked. I've decided that the RER C is my Goliath. Its the train that's supposed to take me to from Paris to Jouy en Josas where my school is located. All the other trains are like Bart with two ends and that's it. This train splits off 6 times and is arranged like a circle. So you have to make sure you get the right RER C train otherwise, you end up in the wrong split and you have to backtrack. I almost started crying. If it's going to be like this for the rest of the year, I'm going to kick myself. Anyway, so the student council didn't get the email addresses of all the exchange students until a few days ago so we just got invited to this retreat in Mont St. Michel, which is supposed to be this gorgeous fort/castle thing that's surrounded by water (depending on the tide). It's a two day thing where we spend tomorrow ziplining and then Sunday in a private tour of the castle/fort thing. So see you guys again on Monday!
Oooh...as a side note: The Pope was in Paris today a few blocks away from my place. I tried to see him but it was a total mess. They closed down the train stations near my place so I had to go all the way around. I got close but there were so many people (and it smelled like a giant bucket of BO) that I decided to go home. I wish I could have seen the Pope-Mobile though =( Alright, have a great weekend!

3.5 hours! whoa!!!!!!! that beats the longest time I've ever took (for the same commute) by a sound margin. Are you sure you're using the shortest/optimal path?
Enjoy your integration weekend. We might meet in some course at HEC.

you'll be RER pro in no time. hang with it.
...and btw, that last paragraph sounded like the start of a bad joke. "So, the Pope was a few blocks from my place the other day and..."
