Day 2

I didn't go to bed until around 330 am last night (morning) I ended up sleeping in till about 1130 (for those who know me really well...you know that I hate waking up that late!)

 I tried the yogurt I bought yesterday. SO DELICIOUS, SO CREAMY! I never finish the yogurts I get at home because for some reason my gag reflexes start kicking in but this one goes down so smoothly and vanilla flavor is so yummy! I did some research on french yogurts (yourt) so I'm going to try some other brands soon! Also, the cute little glass bottles they come in work well to hold my makeup and pens and I read online somewhere someone using them as souvenirs to give to their friends as tea light holders!

Today my girl roommate and I went to parc de sceaux which used to be the land of some royalty (i'll research it more later!). The land/parc is humongous...I can't even begin to describe, so I'll post pictures when I go back again. The sky here seems so much closer to the groud, so it's pretty and calming. Maybe once I start making friends I can go have picnics there...hehe.

Because of sleeping in I didn't get to run my errands (like going to the bank etc) so I guess I'll have to do that tomorrow!

Found the magazine/book store today! French Elle, Marie Claire, Glamour etc are 2.50 euros! Not bad, not bad! Can't wait to go back and buy some!

-EDIT-
I went to monoprix (store that sells almost everything) and got a premade caffe latte (like those bottle starbucks frapps) and a croissant (so flaky!). I was looking in the ice cream bin before I bought those things and while I was standing in line, the security guard came up to me. At first I thought he was asking me if I stole an icecream (I put it back when I saw the coffee) but it was actually because I didn't shut the freezer door to the icecream bin all the way! ROOKIE mistake #2. Ha! I kept saying "sorry" and he eventually discovered that I had only arrived in France yesterday. woops.

I called my mom today and she keeps telling me how sad she is which is so new to me because she didn't even shed a tear when I graduated hs and went off to college. Thanks for the love, folks! She says when she gets home she opens the doors and yells my name and no one responds :( But both of my parents are really happy for me and I think it makes them super happy to say that they have a child who's studying abroad!
