my feet hurt

I can't even remember what I wrote about last time. I didn't bother to check before starting this one. I'm using my laptop in the foyer for the first time. There are 7 ethernet jacks and only 5 work so it's always really busy in here. Unfortunately I only have 1/2 hour until they close the room. It also means that this is the first time I'm using the English (American?) keyboard and I've apparently gotten used to the French one because I keep typing qnd since the a and q are switched and using the shift key to type a period. Enough computer talk. So since Sasha has a pedometer which is both hysterical and quite useful at the same time, she keeps track of our walks everyday. On average this week, we've followed Sarah around for about 10 miles everyday. Granted, I'm mostly eating bread (sandwiches, croissants) so no worries, I'm not stick thin. I can't even remember the last few days because I would just come home and pass out. Took the test at the Sorbonne which was pretty depressing since it was mostly basic French and since it's been a while, I found it to be pretty difficult. Will most likely be in the basic courses which is fine because that's easier and I'm not here to do school work anyway (just kidding, Dad). We've explored tons of places and seen so many amazing buildings I don't know if I'll be able to label my photos. Today we were sent on a scavenger hunt and had to take photos of 11 different monuments/landmarks all over the city. Literally. It took Geri and I five hours and we only got seven accomplished. Yeah, they're crazy. But Sasha, Geri and I ended up going to the movies tonight and basically fell asleep but we saw "2 Days in Paris" which was very good and very funny. Julie Delpy is adorable. Even though the parts in French didn't have subtitles since we're in France (who knew?) we understood most of it...no but if you really want a sense of Paris I'd recommend it (esp Mom). Caroline and our new friend Misha from New Mexico joined us there. So tomorrow I find out which courses I take and that will determine if I can take the babysitting job which would be awesome cos I could use the extra euros. I miss iced coffee, The Hills, and Goucher surprisingly enough. And my family and friends of course...But for real, we went for Vietnamese food near my place the other night and it was awesome. And then we went to the Chinatown in Belleville and it sucked. I definitely live in the best area for Asian cuisine.
