So, no internet at the apt. still, which is a bit of a drag, and denies me the freedom to update my blog on all the interesting things happening. So I'll try to work backwards a bit. The night before yesterday, (Sunday), Emily and I did our homework together, trying to benefit from the extra practice. It turned into a session of breaking open a bottle of wine with a spoon (due to a misguided cork incident), and a few drops of wine landing on the homework. What can we say, i was hilarious, and our homework still was handed in on time the next morning. Yesterday morning, I woke up and just knew it was going to be one of those days. I couldn't sleep due to rush hour heading into the city, and a conversation that I heard clear as day from the street (mind you we are on the 3rd floor, windows closed). It was freezinggg in our apt., and the hot water tended to drift in and out as I showered. As I proceeded to do the dishes in my towel, I broke a glass on the floor, and swept it up using my hands (due to lack of a broom). All of a sudden, water shot out from the heater/hot water heater, which couldn't have been a good sign. So, Emily and I settled into our morning routine of drinking a few cups of tea, and before we knew it we were 20 minutes late to class. Grand. We ran around most of the day, and lucky class went by quickly. We did our first grocery shopping trip together, stocking our apartment full of great food that will save us money on eating at a cafe everyday. We shared a baguette for lunch, and I then proceded to my program's office for my academic advisement appointment. Basically, it consisted of me telling them what's what, and them asking for a signature. So much for advisement, haha. When we returned to the apartment, we found out our heat is actually just not working, perhaps the reason I've been so cold. But, I cannot complain, because our landlords are truly the sweetest people. They promised to send a plumber over today, and to solve the internet problem themselves. So we shall see what will occur once I return from this internet cafe. So, last night emily and I shared a delicious veggie, ham, and assortment of french cheeses omelet. It was sooo good. The day all in all turned out well, and by the time we both got homework out of the way, we were in bed by 11. Not bad. Today went a little more timely, and now I write sitting in a cafe drinking my petit cup of coffee, stealing their internet. I have an interview at 3 for a job teaching student english, so wish me luck!
Au revoir et bientot!
