Apartment and Moi

First I must say that some people have put in requests for pictures. At first i thought "alright" then i thought "wow that's so helpful." Because i have tons of pictures and i'm not sure which ones to post right away. So instead of browsing through and selecting pictures while i'm still grasping the idea that i now live in Paris I'm posting a few pictures that i know certain people will enjoy. But first a note on what i've been up to: The last two days we've had orientation for the program that i'm studying with, which is unreal. The orientation included a walk around campus then a Seine Boat Tour one day, then the next we had a L'Open Tour. On that tour we had tickets to take the two-story tourists bus around Paris. Jessie and i decided that we should take the bus and visit all the stops then go back and see the things that interested us later since we have some time in the city. The Bus tour went everywhere 50 stops in total and too many hours. So between exploring the city by bus and ship, we have also learned the subway pretty well, purely out of necessity as we have to find our way to all this tour areas. needless to say it's been pretty busy today also as we did a walking tour of Paris and then Jessie and i went shopping for school supplies, like paper. That's pretty much all i can think of now. my mind is still adjusting to the grand, gigantic size of Paris. Every time I'm outside i'm astonished.

And finally on to the pictures. Today as i have little time to post (even though this appears very long) I'm including the requested pictures, such as the apartment(the pink bed is mine, as our the bags on it containing new notebooks. The mess is surprisingly not), one picture of me (i forgot about that request until now and could only find a quick one on the boat tour) and one picture of that big tower. I've also tried to include a map of the open tour covering most of central Paris just so you get an idea of where it went.
