I FORGOT THE POTATOES!!!

Quick update:

• Tonight is my first night completely moved in to my new studio!  (Dannys old place)  Justine helped me bring over ma grande et ma petite valise and we metro-ed on over to Passy.  La classe, vraiment.  I'm right next to the Eiffel Tower!  I'm extremely happy because it means I can walk home at night, I can make noise, I can sing, I can use my very own kitchen, and I have my very own mini-fridge, huge bed.  Definitely moved up in the world, although it sucks that DK is gone, asshole.

• Went to Grenoble last weekend with Kristen to visit Antoine (my old colloc).  So fun!  I'll have to post pictures later.  Climbed the Bastille, went to Bukana (the exchange student bar) and Vieux Manoir (the club run by these huge biker Mafia men).  In the words of our other dirty Irish roommate, Mike, from when I lived in Grenoble:  Good Times.

• I started Bikram 2 days ago and am so sore!  And happy, let's hope I can actually do the full 10 days (the first 10 days are 30euro).  That would be quite an accomplishment.

• Today I met with a lady from MIIS (the Grad school I'm applying for) and I'm feeling inspired.  Maybe I actually could be a translator.  That would be so awesome, I think the work would really fit me because it would allow me to travel, among many other factors.  It would stay interesting...because I'd be translating news articles etc and I could work from wherever.  My French needs some drastic help though if that's what I'm going to do.  I'm going to try.

• I've been wearing my retainer every night for about a week and my teeth are almost straight again :)

• I have not been studying for the GRE as much as I hoped, however I have been studying and progressing.

• I've so far watched only 2 movies in French (Pauline à la Plage, et L'effet Papillon) both really good, but 2 means I'm 2 behind from my resolutions goal, so I'll have to get on that.

• I've been reading a lot, currently The Sun Also Rises.  Really into it.

• Overall things are goin well...got duped out of 200euro from my former landlady, but it's OK because I will enjoy Paris so much more living here.  I've been really enjoying it since I've been back.

• Paris has been freezing the past week!  I tried to peel a banana yesterday and I couldn't bc my fingers were too cold!  Today was nice though :)

• And last but not least, I've rediscovered hype machine and it's oh so goood.

And about the potatoes...I forgot my potatoes in the move!  Triste.  Not lookin' back.
