Obligatory post

It's actually a long weekend here in France because of 11/11, so I have no class.

But I figured that since you guys want to know that I am still alive, I would write a blog post.

Yesterday, I saw Hanna, my Swedish friend. We went to the Orangerie Museum that is in the Tuileries Garden. It has giiiiiant Monet paintings that take up entire walls, and a bunch of other impressionist stuff. We saw a little boy who fell asleep on the floor. He was adorable.

I did some work (translating comics, hurrah!), then I went to sleep around midnight.

At four in the morning, someone came into the apartment, washed his/her hands, and went into the other bedroom to sleep.

Why did I mention this?

Because my host mother is away in Bretagne (Brittany) until Sunday. Now, I'm not particularly concerned, as various members of her family have keys to her apartment and stay there randomly, but it's still weird.

Weird, I say!

So I went shopping and bought yogurt and "little swiss" cheeses, which aren't cheese at all: they're some sort of very thick yogurt... cheese. I don't know. They don't exist in the US. I bought lettuce and a couple of Kinder Surprises because this year is Ferrerro's 50th anniversary, and it's Asterix's 50th anniversary, so SOME have little Asterix toys inside.

Also, my personal computer died, which is extremely sad because I had discovered that I could get free internet on Saturdays if I walked to the Shopping Gallery down the street. But I will be getting a new one from my parents (Thanks Mom and Dad!) soon. Which is good.

I'm gonna go do homework stuff now. Perhaps nap. Perhaps figure out who is in my apartment.
