Finally got a computer!

anyone that talked to me last semester knew that my computer was crap. not only did it take between 20 minutes to 3 hours to turn on but the internet connection lasted an average of 3 to 4 minutes. so finally, under perfect circumstances (you know, with me being across the world) my computer decided to not turn on. ever again. its been a hard two weeks (its really sad how much a lack of a computer can affect you) but i just got a computer this morning. my neighbor back home came to paris on business and my parents gave her their computer to give me. and viola! i am connected again to the world yay.

so i guess theres a lot to update everyone on. so far classes are good. i have class 3 times a week. tue through thur. so yeah 4 day weekends are pretty much the shit. im taking two french language classes (grammar and conversation) which arent bad and are repeats because providence college is retarded. im also taking french phonetics, paris metisse (which is about the diversity of paris) and avant-garde french art. only the art class is in english sooooo yeah good times.

otherwise, ive just been getting used to the city. the metro is so simple here. only thing that sucks is money. everythings so expensive and its so bad because im getting used to the euro and now in my mind anything less than 5 euros is cheap..but really..no. its not. my host family is bipolar towards me and my roommate, angelica. the dad is always super nice...hes atually sarcastic which is funny and entertaining especially in french. the mom is really nice and will answer all questions i ask but shes so bitchy sometimes. she keeps making up these rules about cooking and showering and blah blah. i dunno whatever, its fine though cause im not alone haha.

angelica is brazilian but she spent the past month in southern france. so shes pretty much fluent in french now. and portugeuse. and english...oh yeah and spanish. apart from the fact that i hate her for knowing 4 languages shes awesome. and its gonna suck when she leaves in 2 weeks. but then i apparently get an american roommate. lets hope shes not a loser. ha...jk...?

anyways..yesterday was pretty fun. we went to american breakfast which is a diner where...wait for it..they serve breakfast. all day. so i got a bacon cheeseburger with an egg on top. so good. then we went to go see the princess and the frog. in english. it was really really really good. you should go see it. now. afterwards we went to our favorite spot to pregame, a bridge right under the notre dame. finally we made our way over to a bar called "bar oz" which is pretty much clubbies in paris. except bigger..and not filled with 18 year old providence freshmen. people were dancing on tables (you know that, without fail, i did as well) and it was a good time.

right now, im going to the catacombes so im gonna finish this post up and ill write more later now that i have a computer. byee
