Day Two

Ok, so day two began. And because my life can never be simple, it begin with an adventure: SHOWERING! I am sorry, I should be more clear. Bathing. Because there is no shower. There is a giant tub (and Delphine continues to encourage Margaux and I to take baths. I make take her up on that). This giant tub has a shower head, but its attached via a hose, and has no wall mount. So I literally hose myself down. Sans shower curtain. I decided sitting in the tub would be easiest but it did not stop me from getting water all over the bathroom. I mean, it wasn't a flood, but it wasn't dry in there. When I got in I just thought it was wet from Margaux's shower since there was no bathmat. It's going to take some finesse is all.
I am quite glad I figured out cell phone stuff before getting here. Thanks mom! Went in at like 930 even though orientation wasnt until 130. margaux had to be there then, so we just took the metro together to make sure we both could find it okay. cody was supposed to meet me at 930, but in true cody fashion was late and arrived after 10. I have never been so happy to see that bearded face! i keep rubbing my hand on his beard. the ies people were a little confused by my rubbing my cheek on his beard. anyone who knows me knows i do this to cody's beard all the time. orientation so far is kind of ok. lots of pledges to sign. language, alcohol, etc. clearly we can drink, but not at school. or at ies events. or have it in our homestays. im not really excited about having to register every detail of any trips i take. I'm trying not to be a brat since it's a small price for such wonderful opportunities but I am so accustomed to decided when and where I go, and I dunno. Takes a tiny sense of adventure out of it. Brianna, you would do just fine 'cause you always have every detail in order.
Stopped at the supermarche on the way home. Reminder: weigh produce. I didn't see the sign and looked like a stupid americaine. mistake will not happen again! i should know better, I shop at Treasure Island!
I suppose that's all for now. Cody and I are going to St. Vincent's Chapel tomorrow. I kind of want to nap before dinner. I love naps. Some things will just never change.
