September 5th

 This day was rather boring but had some good parts to it. We started by going to the public library for a tour and an opportunity to receive public library cards. It was so dull. The bright side is that I met a new student who is from Ireland and an English major as well. The downside is that all of us had to endure the tour guide and her barely audible voice. Afterwords we had lunch, which for me was a grilled dish and fries again. I am going to stop this pattern because it isn't good for my nutrition and I don't want to come home round on all sides. Then we had class, but Kate and I left early to register for university bank accounts. The whole point of the bank account is to have an insurance claim for the dorms. Basically we put a few euros in and the flats have deposit statements, whoo. The card also acts as the meal plan card, I think. This would be good since I am paying for a meal plan through ISEP and have had to so far pay out of pocket for everything. Truly, the university is backwards this year, but Camille, bless that girl, has been there for every international student making the process smoother. At the end of the day a section of our international posse hung out at "Le Docs" until about eight. There I tried a croque monsieur, the French version of grilled cheese, and almost spat it out. Oddly enough it wasn't the cheese that did it, that part was pleasantly mild, but rather this cream sauce in the middle. It tasted like a combination of mayonnaise and cottage cheese, which for me especially, is gag worthy. I'm sorry that I don't like them since croque monsieur is a very French dish, but such is life. I've heard that many French people dislike peanut butter which to me is crazy! Right now I'm exhausted and plan on sleeping early. Also tomorrow is a group picnic, should be both delicious and fun, thus I'm going to bed at 8:15pm. Bon Nuit!
