arrrrgh x_x

well the housing may have fallen through

cuz i have to wait up for someone else to room there cuz apparently otherwise i have to pay the whole 600 euros on my own which is dumb and not really feasible

suppOSedly i will have an answer for tomorrow but there's been an awful lot of screwing over going on and an awful lot of "well i'll think about it/i don't know" going on which is obnoxious as heck

for example: my friend chris was going to get in the residence with dan and then dan suddenly out of nowhere decided to look for apts today...for NO reasn whatever lol it was plain sillah

to counter chris and i went hardcore apt shopping and did a really good job we saw one tonite and have three places lined up to see for tomorrow lol

so either i will live in the residences and so will chris and dan (and tomorrow afternoon is a huge waste of time cuz it will be too hard to cancel all the appts)

or i will live with chris somewhere (and dan will be sad)

or chris and dan will live in the residence (and i will bed sad)

so it goes...there is no win-win only win-cry

i've been having a lot of fun with chris tho...he just got here yesterday and him, emanuel (who lives in the residence) and another Emily (his friend) and i all went out for dinner (somewhat splurgy o_o) and had a total blast...we all laugh a lot. me and chris esp...we sat in my hotel room calling to make apt appts all afternoon and just laughed so hard lol cuz sometimes he wouldn't understand them and i would have to get on the phone and sometimes we were just so mad at the whole situation that we would just crack up and fall over

it's hard for foreign people to get those little words down

crack UP fall OVER break UP break DOWN pick UP pick AT pick OUT put DOWN put UP

stuff like that

in france you put money ON a bank account

not in

at least if i remember correctly

which i hope i do cuz OUR TEST IS TOMORROW

at nine

i told chris i would bang on his hostel door cuz he has no alarm

so i have to be up early >_< lol

which is ok

i should have studied more french

>_<

i've studied a little bit of russian and japanese almost everyday but no french really except watching...

oh i didn't talk about that did i

i went and saw a movie by myself near the arc du triomphe the other day (is that even how you spell it?)

it was uhm...Howl's Moving Castle? Is that the English title? I watched it in Japanese with French subs and understood more than I thought I would. It was good. I should go see something in French straight up and see how I fare lol

hmmmmm

what else

haven't seen sergey lately

he has a friend in from russia

i'm waiting until i get a house to get a cell phone because there are at least two people i know of who say theres a way to get a plan without getting roped into it

which i dunno if i believe anyhow

it's so expensive

i dunno what is the best way to do it

i guess i could get prepaid cards like everyone else

i thought i read that you could get like six hours for 45 euros or something...

that's sooooo expensive

jeez >_<

it's cheaper on a plan but i dunno

i'm only here for five months

it's just nice to be able to give people a phone number

cuz i can't leave anyone i call for babysitting jobs or apts a message cuz i don't have a way for them to get back to me

i like being accessible

>_<

sooooo here we eat a lot of sandwiches cuz the are fairly cheap

there is a surprising amount of cheese on all sorts of things

like i ordered what i thought would be sorta like a briochetta or however you spell that...how DO you spell that...is it just brochetta? or something...i dunno...but it turned out to be like a pie made almost exclusively out of mozzarella cheese...and today i had this sandwhich that was really good but also had a bunch of mozzarella cheese and then for dinner chris and i did crepes (i dunno how to type accents on this laptop so oooohhhhhhhh well) cuz he didn't even know what they were lol and mine was ok but not that great...mostly i think it's cuz i was looking forward to having egg in mine but he thought i said euh (uhm) and not oeuf....

so i only got ham

and you guessed it

CHEESE

i can't take it lol

it doens't feel healthy to eat melted cheese all the time

which is funny

cuz it really is the melted part

as long as it's normal like...in a baguette sandwhich then it's fine

so there are baguette ones and paninis which they toast and are good

and are cheaper

and you can find les sandwiches grecs all over the place which are with like lamb meat or whatever kinda like a euro...very tasty and kinda cheap there was a good place next to the hotel did i already talk about that??

i don't remember

maybe we will go to some sites tomorrow in between apt viewings

i wonder what will happen with the residence

on one hand i really want to be there cuz it's cheap

on the other hand the apts are more centrally (not REALLY centrally but moreso) located and more exciting in some way...

the one we saw today is 900 euros but split in half that's 450 which is probably...nearly 600 dollars? i have no idea what the exchange is >_< that's so sad lol anyhow...so but that includes all utilites. there are LOTS of stairs...no lift...it must be on like the 6th floor at least lol but i like stairs cuz its a good workout...and it was nice and blue and there was a door between the two rooms so that was cool ALSO it came with TONS of dishes and a dishwasher, oven, stove...there was one bed in the bedroom and then a couch in the other room which looked comfy enough...we could've always switched off...lots of closet space and a table/counter sort of deal with two chairs and a desk so we could easy fit in there...but it is kinda expensive esp when you think of the sweet deal we had going at the residence....which...was pretty much almost what i was paying in mke (around 400 dollars)

hoooo hummmmm

i should study and go to bed lol

i should also do push-ups!!!!

does walking make up for eating lots of cheese? i dunno

i guess the deal is that all french food is really bad for you but you walk so much that you're fine? i don't believe that for one minute

i bought little oranges today

last night i was dumb and didn't want to wait until the next day to go to the supermarket and so purchased some not so great bananas at a different store

blah

they are kinda bruised and parts are quite mushy

i really like fruit o_O

i became a fruit banshee in england and now i can't stoppppp

oh that is probably THE number one word to learn

metro stop

i think every one in the program is older than me

i can't find anyone else who is 19 or younger

not like it matters

lol

yeah

well i should give this girl's comp back >_<

i really wish i had one : /

ah well :D

france is cool

chris made a good point...that it seems like a smallish village sort of place even tho you're in a big city...like the streets are small or something maybe that's why lol

whooo

well i have to go lol

that's all.........
