I wish I could say I haven't had time to write every day because I've been out with friends travelling and sightseeing and generally Sara-ing about.
While I have been talking to more people and for longer periods of time, I've mostly been just trying to get things done.
My phone stopped working, because it actually costs 4x what I paid for my phone plan a month.
I haven't been able to register with the university, though I have a meeting set to discuss it next Monday.
I cannot find any pants that will fit me, because their French style is very slim in the calves. I can no longer wear the pants I brought from America because they are falling off and generally look horrible and baggy in weird places.
Class schedules are either not yet finalized or not yet completed for the French language courses, so I will not be able to add them to my learning contract when I try to register. This will create another step later in the process for revision.
These things seem irritating on their own, but consider that I am taking on these tasks in a foreign language with no instructions or help from the university or the companies from whom I am trying to buy my products.
Anyways, when I come home at the end of the day after waiting in line to wait in another line to be told I need to go to a different store or that I don't have the right documents, I just don't want to think anymore. I just make myself some lame excuse for a dinner, cross off the one or two things on my list that I got done, copy the rest down onto the list for tomorrow, add whatever I found out I needed today, and go to sleep.
Rinse and Repeat.
