bonjour, paris!

i arrived in paris at about 9:25 am, which is 2:25 am central time! i tried desperately to sleep on the plane, but probably got about 30 minutes tops. how can anyone sleep on planes in coach? they must purposely make it impossible. i sat next to this nice older lady, who is originally from france. she probably thought i had the intelligence of a grapefruit though because i had no idea how to respond to any of her french questions. oh great. bring on the placement exam.

my apartment is super cute! i'm not a huge fan of the kitchen, but that just means i'll have to eat at cafés more.

last night we had our "welcome dinner" where i had escargot. i've tried it before, so it wasn't a big deal, but our program director seemed to think so. i realize escargot is snail, but who cares? it all tastes the same to me. plus, they were cooked in a garlic pesto, and i LOVE me some pesto!**

it's a saturday, so obviously we're going out tonight! wine sells cheap here so it's good to know i can spend my money mostly on shopping and not all on alcohol. (haha, mom!)

AND one last thing, sex and the city 2 comes out here on june 2nd! can't wait to see it AGAIN!

these are the escargot(s)! i had to pick them out of the shell with a little tiny fork!

my roommates and i after dinner. molly in the middle and bridgette on the right. ignore my awkward pose and the fact that we're lined up like stairs.

bon journée!
