well, so much for going out last night. one minute it was 6:30 pm, and we were eating spaghetti, next thing i know, it's midnight. seriously, time just FLIES here. it's so weird! a couple people from the program, kevin and amanda, came over, and we all had intended on going somewhere but just got to talking and lost track of time. so i guess good conversation is worth it.
today, we went on an outrageous bike tour. our program director, karl, was very adamant that we wore helmets and ponchos if it started to rain. as soon as he felt a single drop of rain, he insisted that we put on our neon green, absolutely ridiculous ponchos. i'm pretty sure it rained for about 3 seconds. i'm also pretty sure that a lot of people laughed at us. this is NOT my idea of fashionable! i'm trying to blend in here, people!
the good news is, there is a ben and jerry's** down the street from our apartment and bridgette and i felt we deserved a couple scoops.
tomorrow is the placement exam and even more orientation! i think i'm going to read my french-english dictionary from front to back tonight. my goal of being able to dream seems a bit far-fetched right now, so i need to get to work!
here is the outside of my apartment! 33 rue du four! lots of shopping on this street. 
this is what it looks like when you get past the big door and then through another gate. our apartment is through the green door on the right and up about 1,200 windy stairs at the very top. pictures of the inside once it's clean! :)bonne nuit, mes amis!
