Im on vacation right now and while everyone else is traveling or whatnot, im staying here saving money looking for an apartment. Ive seen 2 furnished so far but they were both disgusting and the 2nd one was way too small, there wasnt even a closet to put my clothes in! I think i might take the first one but first i gotta find out if i can get the CAF which is the government aid for my rent, im pretty sure im eligible. I get it here at the crappy foyer tower... By the way, i wanna say that the logo for this place has little dots which are "Hébergement, Formation, Restauration, Réinsertion sociale, Hébergement d'urgence" which means "lodging, ummm formation is like the transation from school to work, i.e. writing resumes and internships and whatnot, restauration just means there is a restaurant, you can eat here; and now the scary part... "reinsertion sociale" which is exactly what it looks like social re-insertion which only makes me think of one thing....Prison... and also "hebergement d'urgence" means Emergency lodging. Plus the fact that there IS a prison right up the road from here AND the fact that there are some pretty rough looking people living in this place... Im so ready to get out of here... Also the first apartment i looked at was PERFECT for my needs and a good location, but it was completely filthy, but i looked through it with the owner and he didnt know it was like that, because the last guy who was there said he left it clean and apparently he hadnt been to look yet. it was GROSS!!! But he was very embarrassed about it and said he would have it cleaned immediately (which in french could mean....months lol) and he was also gonna put some new furniture in it. But its in a good location very close to downtown but still walking distance to 2 of my 3 schools. anyway i wasnt really intending on writing a post right now because i dont really have time.
I will keep you updated though...Im on vacation right now until nov 7th... I only worked about 3 real days and then i got 13 days of vacation...cant complain... "on ne peut pas se plaindre!" I think i am going to visit some local stuff next week...go visit some castles in the region and possibly go spend a couple of days in clermont ferrand... anyway bye all and PLEASE email me! keep in touch! i love nothing more than opening up a full inbox! And I will try to do better as well about emailing you all and keeping in touch, its just hard not having internet access in my room now...it hasnt worked in over a week now, ive just given up pretty much...
Also last night I went back to "Les Murs Ont Des Oreilles" (the walls have ears) for the soirée bouef where everyone plays music together and not only did i play drums the majority of the night, I sang too! lol, The people playing at the time started playing "Welcome to Paradise" by Green Day, and i couldnt resist, so i jumped up and sang it all lol, then we went right into "She" by green day. Some of the girls took pictures so I will try to get those pics at some point and post them on here...I think the time change is tonight which all the discotheques are advertising for, because they get to stay open an extra hour its "The 25th Hour" as charlie folie's advertises, so i assume we will all go out tonight. Im starting to eat tuna and pasta all the time and im not really drinking much when we go out because im still waiting on my first salary which i dont really know when ill get it or if i even will before the end of november. I requested the advance but i have no way of knowing if all the paperwork went through or not.
Hey everyone, I can't remember what pictures ive posted links to on here and which ones i havent so ill just put them all up from newest to oldest. Anyone with facebook can access these already but I know there are some of you out there without facebook... anyway here they are!
WELL @E#R?I@"o38h/w2OIEF@o3h923rf I hate facebook...Now i see they have decided to remove the ability to share photos with non facebook users...isnt that special...I'll see what i can do and get back to you...this REALLY annoys me...that stupid website changes formats about 13 times a week..its impossible to keep up with it...
