Eve had already been in the US for a few days before the start of school. Her grandmama had left her a fair amount of money along with an even larger sum from her parents. Eve was sensible with it, the majority had gone back into savings but a little bit had gone on the trip out to America and her first stop had been the status of Liberty which of course had been tres magnifique!! She had also found several second hand book shops before traveling up to Maine by stagecoach. Eve had loved the journey up through states, the US was beautiful and vibrant.<br/><br/>She along with the rest of the first years at the Culinary Collegia had arrived yesterday and had spent most of the remainder of that day unpacking and settling in, and even though there had been many other students arrive before her she still managed to secure a room on the first floor. It appeared that most people wanted the higher up rooms but as Eve tended to get up early she figured it would be better if she didn't wake up five floors of students rattling around at dawn.<br/><br/>The second day was filled with excitement, it was time to make some Friends! Eve noticed the blue posters that had appeared overnight and went up to one. "Food and Fun with the RAs! Come test your skills, Freshmen!" Curious Eve followed the stream of students up to the fifth floor and arrived just in time to hear the announcement. From a blond haired female  " You probably think we're cooking this for all of you! And you'd almost be right! So here's the deal--time to test your skills! Taeam up in groups of three! If you can make a dish that an RA will eat, we'll feed you some of our cooking and show you what the Collegia has to offer you over the years! I'm Amanda Jameson, by the way--I'm a 3rd year here, and this is my second year as an RA! You'll have a tough time impressing me!"<br/><br/>Team up? On their first day! This was going to be fun!! Glancing around Eve wondered who would be a good idea to team up with. Suddenly she caught sight of a young man with dark features and a very determined expression. The red haired female liked his features and quickly approached. "Bonjour! Hello! Would you like to team up?" Eve asked. Extremely grateful that she had now spent the weeks before arriving in the US brushing up on her English, her rich French accent coming accross clearly.
