Holy crap I've been in Paris for 7 days

Well I've been here for 7 days already. I can't believe I've been here for so long and it feels like it's going to end really soon (I have 5 more weeks but that doesn't seem like a long time).

Yesterday was a lot of fun. Our professors took us to a French movie and dinner afterwards. The movie was very funny (and I manged to understand the majority of it) and just now I realized that I apparently wrote a blog post last night that includes this information so I'll stop there (I would just get rid of it, but I find my error amusing so hopefully you will too).

Today was probably the most chill day of them all. I'm running out of clothes (and my host-mother isn't washing them until Monday) so I had to go buy some French shirts. The colors I got were kinda bad in retrospect, but they were cheap (I got them at the equivalent of Walmart) so I can't complain. After that, I decided to go check out Roland Garros (the French Open).

First of all, the métro station the website gave me was pretty far from the entrance. After about an hour of aimlessly walking around (or flân-ing as we call it in Franglish), I found a nice park where I was able to sit down and eat an apple that I had bought (it was really good). Luckily for me, the park was next to the grounds.

Unfortunately, they had ran out of tickets to get into the grounds (or that's what I heard when I was eavesdropping on a conversation) so I was only able to circumnavigate the area.

On my way to a different métro station, I ran into another park/garden, which I decided to venture into in hopes of finding an oasis/a water fountain. After exploring, I found the fountain on a map, decided it was too far away, and decided to head to the métro.

Here are some pictures I took in that last park:

A random fake deer head?!? How could I not take a picture of it?

This relatively large fake mushroom (not the largest I've seen in my days here, though, so it's only the second coolest) was placed near the fake deer head. I'll let you interpret this juxtaposition on your own.

After I eventually found my way home (this other métro station was pretty hard to find as well), I just relaxed a little bit, hung out with some friends by the Musée d'Orsay, where there was their really weird guy doing completely random stuff (scaring people, shoving a vest in the upper portion of his shirt to accentuate his bosom, etc), ate dinner with my host mom (some sort of egg dish. It was delicious), hung out with some friends again (we flâned somewhere in Paris), returned home, decided to update my blog, and now here I am.

As you can see, today was a surprisingly uneventful day (I'm guessing it's because since we didn't have any mandatory group activities (class), it took more effort to make plans with people, so less stuff actually got done). Hopefully tomorrow I'll have more stuff to say (I won't, though, since I'm quite sure that I'll be doing my homework at the time I'd normally be writing this).

Au revoir tout le monde!
