Some new friends and me at La Mont Saint-Victoire
I haven’t written yet about Early Arrival Week, though that was what I was up to all last week. Now I almost don’t know where to begin.
Well, let me first say that I highly recommend it to any future IAU-ers who are considering starting the program a week early. It’s only the fourth full day here for the majority of IAU students, and it’s been very clear what advantages Early Arrival gave the fourteen of us who participated. First and foremost, we are over our jetlag. I thank the high heavens that I don’t have to try to figure out course schedules, classroom locations, school supplies, and navigating a world in French, all while half-asleep because my body is still back on Pennsylvania time. Au contraire, we fourteen or so have had an excellent time being able to point newer people to the best places for lunch and to the classrooms they seek.
