So besides lazing around and enjoying some time off, today I went to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame quickly, and met up with C from Smith! It was so nice to see her, and we went to grab pastries, which were so yummy, and catch up. I had a lovely time.
Work again tomorrow, then movies with A and some of her friends, who I'm getting to know a bit better now, especially her boyfriend (who is obviously around a lot). Saturday and Sunday I'm hoping to get some more sightseeing done, and maybe figure out where I'm living in July! I've been looking for apartments but most are more expensive than I can handle. I was hoping for under 500 euros, 600 max, seeing as how I'm there for less than a month. I've even been looking at hostels in the area so I can approach them and ask if it would be possible to work out a deal where I could have a single room, preferably with my own bathroom, and access to a kitchen, for a much smaller amount than if it were added up night by night.
Its just that if I go through a housing agency, I have to pay extra fees and show proof of income, which I.. um... don't have? So this should be an interesting experience. If all else fails, it's nice to know I can stay with A's family, though its such a long commute that I would rather to pay to be in the city.
I'll keep you all updated as to my housing adventures. I'll also try to get up pictures and info from my recent travels. In case you haven't noticed, I have a lot more free time on my hands now to blog, so I can play catchup. More soon!
