I'm Back!

Well, I'm back to blogging, and back to Paris!
Currently, it is not all that glamourous in the city of lights though. As you can see my hotel room is very very very small and my luggage takes up almost all the space. Oh well, only two more days until I can move into my apartment and finally unpack all my stuff.
While the room may be small, the view (and the weather) are very nice. Ok, maybe the weather isn't so nice, it is only in the mid 60's. Cold compared to Minnesota, but warm according to my roommate from Sweden. Everyone is wearing their jackets, but I just have to face the cold since my jackets are all packed away still.
We also have a nice "balcony" if you can call it that. Basically just a big window that opens up to a railing. Very French. What must also be very French is the hotel cleaner who just walked into the room... and didn't leave. He tried talking to me,  "mais je ne comprends pas le français". Only saying that didn't matter to him. So he continued talking in French, confused by all my luggage. I said "Je suis américain, mais je suis un étudiant à Parsons". This was followed by lots of oui's, non's, and confused faces at each other. He finished cleaning, then left with a au revoir! Oh, the language barrier.
