still having fun

ok so i know it has been a couple days, sorry.

friday .
i met up with my isep coordinator, emily and we went and got me set up with a french bank account and a cell phone. after that i went to here office and filled out some paper work for my residence permit. and boy was here office far away from everything, i mean a good 30 minute walk. i also got some things like a blanket and some silverware and pans and stuff from her for free. that was awesome. also on this afternoon i found the bus to carrefour, the french wal mart (which is not easy because there are like 25 different bus routes, and they all pick up in different places around the city, and make several stops) but i figuredit out just in time, and the busses were actually free friday and saturday ( it was transportation services weekend here) so that was lucky. i met some interesting people on the bus ride there and back. all in all it was a good day, and i had some good interactive experiences.

on saturday i woke up late, and bummed around in the dorms all day. i did help an asian girl who only speaks russian and english move a fridge. she didn't tell me that she didn't live in my dorm building until i was already holding the fridge. it was a few hundred yards away. but luckily we found a shopping cart out side, and just pushed it the whole way, well except for the 5 flights of stairs up to her room. ugh. but once we got to the top, she said that she would cook me some diner later. she did. it was really good. we sat in my room (chambre) and ate and drank some red wine for a hour or so. it was fun. and now i got another friend here.

let's see. today, sunday wasn't too interesting until around 5 tonight. i went to an international church that speaks in english. this was with some of those people i told you i met on the streets thursday. it was good to get to see everyone again. and after the singing and the sermon, a big group of us went out for dinner. we ate and talked for a couple hours. it was a lot of fun. and now that i have a cell phone here, i was able to exchange some digits. tomorrow we are all meeting up for a home cooked dinner at one of the guys apartments. it should be fun. these are mostly all exchange students. but from all over. i think we will make a good group.

this is all for now. i hope you all are having fun in lame america. just kidding.
