You Know You've Turned French When....

You eat yogurt for dessert...and buy Camembert for yourself....and make the drastic change from putting lots of cream and sugar in your coffee to drinking dark, black coffee.

Anywhos, today was my second day of "stage" or teaching training as one would say in English. It was a lot more informative than the first meeting we had with the Academy. Yet, I have decided that some French people just don't know how to get to their points across quickly. All in all though....not so bad considering free coffee and pastries every break :)

Now, onto the good stuff! Pictures of the new apartment!

 My room( hopefully will get some cool things at the Carrefour tomorrow to decorate a bit).

 (And again)...

 Our make believe living room

 Entry with crazy door knob/locks.

 Toilette

 Salle de Bain with Douche that I can't figure out how to use without spraying water everywhere!

 (Encore)....

 Nice big sink :)

 Cuisine

 Large Frigo!

And of course my latest purchase...5 euro bottle of wine from the area (which I'm currently drinking so forgive me for the excessive French/bad English grammar).

I'm missing pictures of my Bulgarian (Tania) and English (Oonaugh) roommates' rooms, but they are studying. It's a pretty cute apartment for A) how cheap it is B) being meublee aka furnished C) no agency fees since I found it online.

Yesterday, I went grocery shopping which was pretty interesting. I have been warned multiple times to bring your own bags, but I have not been warned to avoid buying in bulk. Being the American consumer junky I am, I bought enough to get started for maybe the next two weeks or so....not realizing how heavy it would end up being on my 5 block walk home. Nor how confusing the milk and butter choices are here. Milk here is not the same as at home...it tastes different and it doesn't need to be refrigerated until opened...which freaks me out hence why it's already in the frigo. I honestly don't even know why I bought milk since I rarely drink it at home...I think it has to do with their whole breakfast choice here. Chocolate powder, milk, and cereal. I think I'll stick to the American pancakes, eggs, and bacon (hint hint send me some pancake mix...only if I trade you for a bottle of wine you say? Surely). 

I still am amazed at how France is one of the healthiest countries when A) A lot of the French I see on the street smoke cigarettes B) chocolate with cereal every day? C) Who can honestly just drink one glass of wine? I have yet to see that here. D) Sausage and fromage can't be all that good for your cholesterol. But hey, who said I was focusing on what I was eating? I surely did not ask the patisserie lady how many calories the delicious ham and cheese with tomato salad baguette sandwich was today.
