I know I have been a little behind with updates lately, but hey, you want me to have a good time, right?
I have now been in Paris a month, and am pretty acclimated. My French is still piss poor, but I never have to use it, so of course it isn't getting any better. One lady, however, at my regular creperie has been making an effort to teach me a few different things. I can always place my order in French and exchange casualties, and I have finally figured out what the follow up questions mean, but I still don't know how to answer all the time. Last night I learned how to say 'to go' rather than just reverting back to English..a emporter. Baby steps, right?
Things at the French speaking gym are...interesting. I have decided to step out of my comfort zone and try new classes. Since I can follow along visually it isn't a problem..until they are trying to correct me. I just stare blankly and they eventually physically help me fix the problem. I have finally learned the names of all my regular exercises in Bodypump, which I shouldn't need, but I have one instructor who thinks he should have the liberty to mix up routine order even though it is designed in that order for a reason. Oh well!
I don't know if you remember how I met the love of my life at the laundromat a couple of weeks ago...the three legged dog? Well, I was putting my clothes in the dryer today, turned around, and there he was!!! I was ecstatic. He is just as awkward as ever, but I am thrilled to know I can actually see him again ;) Last time I did laundry I accidentally selected a wash cycle that took 90 minutes, but not this time. I chose correctly and was in and out of there in no time.
The weather here seems to be taking a turn toward Spring, and I am THRILLED!!! It has been so gray and gross that I have spent a lot of time cowering inside with copious amounts of hot chocolate, which has its moments. Now it is sunny and I am going to start getting out more.
Upcoming excitement: March 29th going to Barcelona
April 5th going to Belgium
I have made a new group of English speaking friends too, so that is exciting. Anywho, I am wasting sunlight!
Ciao!
