habits pay off

as long as they are good...like always buying tasty sandwiches from the oriental lady who must LIVE at that counter...

i didn't have any cash on me and couldn't think of enough things to buy to get the amount up to 5 euros so she said i could come back and pay her tomorrow...TOMORROW (!!!) lol i've gotten people to let me run home and back directly when i forgot my card or something in the states but she was just like, "tomorrow, no big deal" :D

there was a talented man on the subway today who did a monologue which included a song

today i had History of Paris and took lots of notes but apparently she gives us a write up on every lesson the following week...also we went on a visit which was unfortunately half-identical to a tour i had already been on...oh well...it's just a bummer to have to drag all your books around for an hour i guess...in addition, i heard we have to write some paper about our neighborhood...i guess i won't be able to escape this exercise (think back to the orientation class that i quit in the nick of time....)

i was gonna research a bit but i think instead i will go nextdoor and see if they have a book about the 19th century...cuz i need to learn SWIFTLY...i guess it will have to be in french...*sigh sigh sigh* I've been reading a lot of a lot of things lately but it's hard to keep it up!! you get tired and buggy after a while *_*

did i talk about the guy i met in the elevator? i don't remember...but he's pretty nice i went to go say hi last night and he was SO happy o_o we talked until midnight o_o about all sorts of random things...and almost exclusively in French :D he likes to talk so it's cool. also he made pretty tasty spaghetti. ah! and he has the net and said i could come by and study or whatever anytime and borrow his books and he even tried to give me plates lol he is well stocked cuz his parents live just over there *waves in a general direction that is probably wrong*

this afternoon i studied japanese and read at the MCJP. i finished the book i had been working on so i picked another that seems like a more general look at japanese culture but still through the eyes of a teacher so there will be school stuff...i also found a "comprehensive reader" which is good practice with kanji.

french is nice :D
