I am under the weather right now. My friend Cassandra said WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SWAM IN THE FOUNTAIN. Maybe she is right, but the glory of those few moments in that fountain are worth the petit symptoms of cold I am experiencing now.
So today was a really good day despite my sickness. Why? Because I found a website that I can watch Jersey Shore on.
They don't tell you this before studying abroad, although it is REALLY important, but you can't watch most American TV shows from their websites in France because they don't have licensing for international streaming. WHICH BLOWS. This means that I couldn't follow Jersey Shore, or even worse, the new season of Venture Brothers. Luckily I've found not so legit ways around it. But even more, I got a subscription to Netflix only to watch streaming movies and TV on my computer in France. Alas, Netflix does not work abroad. Not even Pandora!
It was also a good day because as I went to sign up for a sports class today, the french guy who worked in the office asked me if I was going to our school's integration party. I hadn't planned to because tickets cost 10 Euros, but after I saw how cute he was, I immediately changed my mind and bought a ticket. Hopefully it will be a good way to meet french kids from my school. Did you know in France, the most popular night to go clubbing is on Thursday? Apparently a lot of French kids go home for the weekend to spend time with their families. So yeah, Thursday nights are big party time here.
Yesterday we have a cheeseburger party at my friend Remi's house. We used Tony's to season the burgers, and everyone thought they were really good. How I miss American burgers! I've only been to one fast food restaurant here-- Quick. It is the European version of McDonalds (even though there IS Mcdonalds in France). It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as cheap as American fast food and the burger had some kind of special sauce. I also got a goat cheese and tomato sandwich, would never be on an American fast food menu.
Also, washed all my underwear tonight. Tomorrow is going to be a good day.
Yeah, I tried to watch adult swim abroad once and was also immensely disappointed by their lack of license (although their apology message is pretty cute). Chad and I miss you every Sunday night at 10:30. The new season is pretty good so far, as are the new Metalocalypses. If that's not enough to make you come home, then I just don't know what is.
