So it turns out there is actually stuff to do in Nancy! :) My friend Adam and I went to Parc Pepiniere, it is this big gorgeous park in Nancy. They have a zoo and an ice cream shop. We spent a couple hours down there then went grocery shopping.
Later that night I went to le bouche à oreilles (mouth to ears) its a fondu place! So good! very cute place! I ate so much, i was sick later.
I am on vacation (again) this week. Not to much has been going on. Going to Paris for 2 days to meet a friend from LAX and Uncle Eric. I am pretty excited. I also planned a trip to London in April. I will be going to Stonehenge with Adam hopefully!
Megan and I had dinner at Dr. Moeller's appartement. She is a very nice women who is doing and exchange from LAX to here. She did a home exchange with the teacher who is teaching English in Nancy. It is a very cute appartement and she cooks such good food!
My mom sent me a package with American candy and my British friends love the Jolly Ranchers, they have never had them before!
these are the potatoes i had a restaurant, they had carrots mixed in, but they were so good!

Ive finally figured it out. How the French only eat baguettes and stay stick thin.
They have to squat over the toilet seats- burns calories even when peeing.
There bureaucracy sucks so they have to walk everywhere. To get housing insurance, I had to walk to the reception, not in my dorm, walk to MGEL, they tell me I need proof of residence, walk back to the dorm, get proof, walk back to MGEL to get it. But I finally got insurance and did not have to open a bank account! yay
They only eat for about 2 hours a day. If you go out shopping and want to eat you must eat from 12 to 2. If you dont eat then you cant eat. They wont serve food any other time! Its so annoying.
It has been a really good week! Classes are back and things are back to normal. My friend Raoul put on a concert for project in his major. It was pretty crappy rock music, but fun!
The internet was down for the whole weekend! It was awful, nothing to do but homework! ick. Also the fourth, third, and second floor kitchens were broken! So we had to walk to the first floor to make food! And it was usually being used. I barely ate! it was awful. I might buy a hot plate.
I finally got signed up for the INS journaling class and now realize that I have 6 journals due already! Looks like this weekend I will be journaling a lot!
hope everyone is well!!
