Yesterday was the first day of school for Anais. It was really cute to see how excited she was to see her friends again. Her best friend is Lucie, and they are so sweet to each other. When they saw each other they went crazy – it was so cute!
And then after that I had the day to myself, So I went to Paris again, for the 3rd time already. The train is really easy to take, and it doesn’t feel like an entire hour passes. I told Steph that I wanted to meet her under the Eiffel Tower, since it’s a pretty recognizable landmark.
We both wanted to go to our language schools and register… but it was not as easy as I thought. With the language barrier and the size of Paris it takes FOREVER to get anything done. But we both did it and I’m glad to get it over with.
I had to take a language test to see how well I knew French, but it was a written test… and I am a terrible at writing! I was just B.S. ing the entire thing, it was like high school all over again!! But I think I recovered a bit after my speaking test, I’m a bit better at that…
Steph and I went to a café, asked for un café and got completely ignored! It thought it was really upsetting, but I think Steph has already adjusted to the city so it didn’t seem to faze her as much.
After that I returned to Arpajon with great relief. It’s a really beautiful town and a nice change from Paris. I picked up Anais from school and we went to the park. The children were adorable and Anais was really nice to all of them. I taught her a few Canadian hand games like “give me a break – give me a break – break me off a piece of that kit kat bar” and she loves it! Its good because she usually doesn’t like to speak English, but she has no problem singing in English.
Then I made some supper and watched an old French film about spies, I was a pretty good day overall.
love it :)
