Bonsoir!
It seems ridiculous to say this, but tomorrow afternoon I leave Rouen for two weeks for the holidays (Toussaint). These past two weeks have gone super fast, even though the first one endlessly dragged. I think it's because we've had so much to sort out these past two weeks that it's almost seemed like not enough time to get everything done. However, we have finally (seemingly) sorted everything out! We signed for our apartment yesterday (took about two hours, and our contract seemed to be about 100 pages long, ridiculous) and so Nathalie is collecting the keys for us and then my parents are gonna start moving stuff in with me on the first weekend in November. When we were at the agency I think the most hilarious example of the craziness of French bureaucracy was the fact that our two guarantors had to write out a whole thing they had to sign that was already typed, so they just had to hand write it for no reason other than French people love paperwork.
I feel pretty proud of myself at the moment because I seem to be able to sort important things out in French by myself such as banking, insurance, wifi. So maybe my French is actually getting better!
It feels very weird to be going home because I'm actually really enjoying living here at the moment. But I am very much looking forward to getting to see my friends from university. And to not have to cook for myself for a while. Lazy I know.
So my first three weeks are over! Now a little break in Angleterre before the next six weeks.
