I'm here at last!

So on sunday I got to the airport, checked in and then had some breakfast. After that I went through security which took a while and met up with a group of people on my flight. So after lots of excited chatting we got on the plane. The flight was very long and my tv didn't have sound so I couldn't watch any of the films. The food wasn't too bad for airplane food. Then we finally landed but it was raining :( so we got off the plane and headed for passport control. We waited in line for ages and then when I got there I had to go off to a room where all the people on the program were. We were all wondering what was going on but in the end it seemed like the just needed more time to check our passports. Some people got called into a room and I was one of then but the man hardly asked anything on about 3 questions. After I got my passport back I went to collect my bags and they were already waiting for me because it took so long. Then we had to go through a bag security point and then put our bags on another conveyer belt so that they would go through to the main terminal. We got the shuttle and went to find our bags. Again this took a long time but we got them and went to the international programs desk where we got a pack of informations saying where we would be living etc. I'm living in Vista Way. We got on the bus to Vista Way and I found my apartment. After dragging my suitcases up the stairs I got to the apartment and met my housemates, Flavia, Elisa and Ying. They are nice and we decided to go to Walmart but there were no buses running so we couldn't. So we went to bed but even after such a tiring day I couldn't sleep.
