Well, it’s Saturday night. I leave on Monday. I have yet to pack, or even to make a list. I still don’t think I’m going to France. Today I was playing with the idea, and reluctantly concluded that I have to live in Paris. Not just visit, live. I’ve slowly realized that I that I need to figure out ways to do certain things in a foreign country. Here’s a little list off the top of my head of what I need to figure out sooner or later.
I have to _____ in Paris.
- Get a haircut
- Grocery shop
- Buy coat hangers
- Figure out entertainment when I don’t want/can’t afford to go out
- Figure out how not to completely foolish when I do go out
- Find contact lens solution
- Deal with a landlord
- Commute across town... everyday
- Balance school, fun, and living on my own
- Constantly convert Euros to Dollars in my head and vice-versa
- Figure out if I’m a raincoat, umbrella, or neither person. (Colorado is not rainy by any means)
- Make friends
- Figure out how to take Lactaid pills in public without getting looks
- Find art supplies (see number 4)
- Find a wallet with a coin purse
Theres probably more I’ll figure out later, but it’s one in the morning. I think I’ll go to bed. Oh God. I'm technically leaving tomorrow. Maybe making a list isn't such a bad idea.
