Paris

i have officially been in Europe for one month.
i start school tomorrow (yes, i have had a lot of free time for the past month).
my cours pratiques (language course) is everyday for two hours.
phonetics is every other week for one hour a day.
two seminars at about 3 hours each, once a week.
one 3 day weekend in March.
spring break is April 16-May 5.
5 day weekend following spring break.
school ends May 27, at the latest.

my host is an older lady that lives by herself in an apartment located in the 16th arrondissement.
it turns out i have a house mate. but we each have our own rooms and bathrooms.
it is a 10 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower, as well as the Champs-Elysees.
though i have to take the metro to the university.
i never want to drive again.
i have ventured to all of the main monuments, which are conveniently in close proximity to one another.
Paris is overwhelmingly large.
