Today we woke up quite early to go to our first french placement test. To get to the university I have to take a bus and a tram, its simple but it takes a while. This morning I took the same bus as all the school children, it was quite adorable. The test was difficult, but thats ok!
After the test we walked to Our Lady Cathedral and had crepes at a cafe. I oredered un jus d'orange and a crepe poire et chocolat. It was great!
We then walked to La Place de la Republic, a beautiful park, and layed there for a while in the sun.
After our first orientation class which we practically slept through, we all opened french bank accounts so we can access our stipend! Woooohooooo.
In other news, there is practically a strike or protest everyday. I've witnessed a couple, and I hear about many more because the busses and trams pretty much stop running during a protest. On saturday night I was stuck in the 'burbs because a strike was happening. Oh well. I think I am going to rent a bike so I can get around more easily. Also my host dad is going to let me ride the moped around the neighborhood!
Tomorrow there is another protest planned so I might not get to school in time! I hope that it doesnt affect my route!
Okay I gotta go eat dinner! Avoir!
Nice blog, Peanut! Come them coming.
