9h made multiple breakfasts~ fried egg on one of those massive pieces of ham... fyi about slices of bread are about half the size of american sliced bread and slices of deli ham are about 3 times bigger than ham slices at home... thats one funny sandwich the frenchies must being eating... or a lot of folding going on
9h30 societe generale to handle some business... guess i should warm up on my french before i leave my apt... was super struggling a la banque.. all i kept thinking was its too early for this nonsense.. just tell me where my money is dang it... in time my american impatience will transform into french laisse-faire 
10h-11h30 a little tour of the city... found the gym "a new swing form" near rue d'italie, a stones throw from chez beret, then past school, up to the cathedral, in and out a few shops down to place jaude, a few more shops and back home for le lunch: salad with sauted peppers, onions, apples, chopped almonds, brie and made some dressing or as they like to call it "salade sauce"
le "salade sauce" du jour
balsamic vinagre
a squeeze of lemon
EVOO
S&P
dash of honey
pinch of curry
splash of cumin
13h30 course de medias, was very lucky that i accidentally did hw that i didn't know was due
15h go to international office to once again try to get the last part of my visa processed... apparently, last week, when their door was shut, they were open, but today, when their door is open, and everyone is on their computer.. they are closed. hmmm highly suspicious. my american sense of urgency is not amused by the fact only one task gets done per week per organization.. that because it's not your official hours of work, you can't accept a copy of my visa and stick it in my file... sure y not.. we will try again tomorrow
16h30 leave for carrefour city.. its almost cool how i have to go to the store every day to buy food to cook... almost.. at least by the time i walk home i am very truly sincerely hungry
17h made chicken, rice and salad for me cheny and anthony... finally discovered the right amount of "sweet" butter and salt to put into the rice... a.lot. i can't find salted butter here... so i will just have to use 3 times as much... which is perfectly fine by me
19h20 take the 20 min walk to chez beret because we all wanted to check out the gym by their house.. ya kno there should be a whole french class called "thirty and younger" because for the life of me i can't understand a twenty something nearly as well as a fifty something. 19h45 so this twenty something is working at the gym and i explain to her that i was here earlier and was told that we could watch a class and that we would get some more detailed info about prices to join the gym. nope not possible... first you must fill out this form... ahah! i filled it out already this morning... oh well since she was not there this morning i have to re-fill it out (keep in mind this piece of paper i had filled out only 8 hours ago is probably sitting right there on the top of a stack behind the counter) but sure y not i will refill it out so that the same woman who told me i could watch a class can call me.. during class... and give me more information. information that this woman, i can only imagine, isn't certified to give me...
20h take the 20 min walk back to chez moi... realizing that i just got a 40 min workout.. so all is not lost
23h anthony and noah move into their apt... at last!!
