So today we went and got cell phones. I wanted one for things like emergencies and for times that I really felt like I needed to get in touch with people here. So now I have one. It is very useful, but pretty expensive. It took a while at the store to get it all settled, for we had to decided on everything with Julie translating everything that the man said and then what we said. It took a while, but now it is done, and if I need to reach someone... I can! I didn't realize how much I depend on a cell phone. The ability to be reached and be able to reach any one at any time... its very interesting. For to be denied it.... I find it hard to be so disconnected. I guess it was a good lesson, but I would rather have one. It is very comforting.
We had to run to the movie that we saw today. It took us longer to do the phone thing and we did not communicate well with the people that we were to meet, so that made us late. It was all fine though, and we saw "Burn After Reading". To be honest it was not as funny as I was expecting, but it was useful in the sense that it showed us the french in subtitles while being in English itself. We learned how to say "whats up" and what the good translation of zeut is. VERY useful information :)
I have now gone to a pub. I can say it with pride, for it was a very nice pub and very Irish. There I had 3 delicious drinks and we decided all of the places we wanted to go. Sadly, there are just so many places in Europe that I don't know if we will even see half of them, but hopefully we will see a bunch of them. I did enjoy the pub though, and I think we will be going back there tomorrow for Marie's birthday.
The rooms have worked out! We will be moving in tomorrow into some nice NEW rooms at the university, so while that means we don't get the culture of having an apartment, we will be getting lots of benefits from being close to the school. All in all I am satisfied.
I had not realized how much I was hoping for an apartment, but once I see the rooms I will let you know just how much my heart was set :)
Well, to register for classes tomorrow I must be up bright and early, so I shall leave for tonight.
Bon nuit!
