So, I found an apartment yesterday. Not any of the choices in fact that I listed last time, but the two bedroom place I looked at yesterday morning. Emily (my friend in the program) and I ended up signing for the apartment together. It wasn't what either of us planned on doing, but we are completely thrilled. It includes everything, washing machine (huge huge deal in Paris), security code entrance, internet, full kitchen (another big deal), and a room that is bigger than my pinky toe. It's a great part of town, part residential, part old school, part new. In fact, there's a KFC near by (who would have thought) as well as multiple cafes and patisseries. So it's perfect, and I'll post some pictures at the bottom.
As for another big deal, our good friend Alex also found his place. He's got his own floor in a house, and for 600 euro a month, he'll be cooked and fed by the mother (owner of the house). The best part though is that she is a major fashion designer in Paris, and plans on designing clothes for him. Do not think that I will not be mooching off that, I would definitely offer to pay for clothes that are designed for me! So basically things are fantastic. This morning I had my french oral exam which was simply an interview. It was simple conversation, and hopefully tomorrow I will know what school I'm going to. But for now, it's time to go to Notre Dame for celebritory drinks with my friends!
Au revoir et a demain
