I'm going to be living under a bridge in Paris

So, I'm quite busy at the moment. I have about 6 more days to find an apartment in Paris, along with take a placement test, start classes, make an academic profile, and go on house visits. It's insane, but I'm loving every minute of it. Last night I bar hopping by Notre Dame with other students, it was a blast. 20 shots, 4 beers, 4 people. SO much fun, and that was just the pregame. The apartments I have visited so far are interesting to say the least, I will certainly be living a simple life, but it's exactly what I've been waiting for. The chambre de bonnes (old maid chambers) are where most of the "studettes" are located. The views are amazing however, but usually you have to climb about 7 or 8 flights of stairs, for there is no elevator. I just hope to find something with a kitchenette, bathroom non communal, and a small space for about 400 euro. But we will see! I have pictures posted on facebook, and let's hope that by the end of this ordeal I will have found an apartment, and not be living under a bridge in this crazy freezing weather!
