Sleep.

Since I arrived, I have been very busy here.  Granted I have been making myself busy, but it means that I haven't gotten much sleep and I'm starting to feel it.  Tonight, I've decided I'm coming straight home from work and chilling.  

Last night was really nice.  I met up with a friend from school that was studying abroad here and is here till next Tuesday.  We used to live across the hall my sophomore dorm and I haven't seen her since then.  We went for drinks straight from work at this really cute place called Wine & Bubbles in the 1ière.  They served wine and champaign, along with plates of cheese and charcuterie.  This was her second time being abroad here in Paris and I am so proud of how good her French has gotten.  It is cute, she now knows all the French France expressions that you only learn when you live here.  From speaking fully French at work, I am finding that I am feeling more comfortable speaking.  I started answering the phones yesterday at work - it is a little nerve wracking cause French people tend to talk very fast on the phone and mumble.  If I don't understand I just get the other stagiaire JP to take the phone.

I said something in English at work yesterday and everyone in the office was so dumbfounded at what I said.  They finally got it after explaining and repeating.  They then repeated it in a French accent and told me they knew exactly what I was talking about but didn't understand because I said it in an "American" accent.  Note to self: learn how to say English words with a French accent.  

Thanks to all the followers of my blog.  I am starting to get a little addicted to writing - I feel bad if I don't write and keep you updated.

A plus.  (Slang/abbrv for 'a plus tard')
