What is the American word for being awake after changing time zones? Jet Lag?

I hope this works this time. My first entry disappeared after I hit "Post". I would very much not like to have to rewrite this again.

I cannot sleep.

So this is probably a very good time to set this journal up. I think that paper and pen is easier for spontaneous writing - but I can change the layout and colors on this, and it has pictures. So I am torn as to which I prefer.

If I understand this right, my classmates can read this. If so - hello!

I am Marie-Ange Colbert. I don't think I saw any of you when I got in last night, but it was somewhat late, and I was absolutly dead in the brain from the plane. Thank the Lord that immigration went well. I heard too many horror stories from Mama and Papa about the stupid American customs agents to not worry, and I was worried for nothing, because I had no problems at all!

This school is huge. It is bigger than my last school, at least. I think I may be biased, though, since my last school was private and small.

And so pretty. I am going to go through so much paper here drawing the grounds. And the mansion. And the gardens.

I have met either two, or maybe three of my teachers. I am not sure if one of the people who picked me up is a teacher or not. He is very young. And I was told my classmates want him to wear a dress! That is ..

That is very funny. And strange. But maybe is it normal? I don't think it is normal. I have never seen American men wearing skirts on television, but then, American television doesn't have mutants either, and I know America has mutants. Or maybe we just didn't get the right kind of imported television shows in Lyons?

Too many questions for an empty stomach. I think I am going to go find the kitchen and see if anyone is having breakfast.

Edit: I need to find a church before Sunday. Reminder to myself so I do not forget.

It is only a little disappointing. I am not going to chase you, or anyone, around with a little plaid kilt.

Although from what I hear, if anyone could wear my skirt from my last school, it would be you. I read that you look good in green.

Actually, probably not. This is the ugliest plaid in France. And Europe. And most of the planet.

Och, though, it'd be much nicer if they were trying to put the boys in a proper kilt. I'm none too sure girls look right in some of the things they've been showing, much less boys!

I think our kilts weren't proper kilts from Scotland though.

What things were they going to put people in? Dare I ask?

Probably they weren't. It would have been too complicated.

And... oh, dear, I think they had pictures but I'm not quite sure where to find them again, right now.

A kilt like in Braveheart? That might look kinda cool, actually. I could paint my face blue.

Maybe I'll hide out with you two when they come looking to cram me into a party dress. :)
