Free Day

Yesterday we had the day off from orientation activities, but Beth asked us to try to get to the University from our homes so that we would arrive at the language placement test on time. Samantha usually comes to my apartment (since we live so close) and we go from there, but I wanted to see her place so we met there and then tried to get to the University from her place.
Instead of walking back towards my apartment and going the route we knew, we decided to take a short cut... bad idea...
It seems like some streets should logically connect to other streets that should seem perpendicular to them, but somehow it just doesn't work that way... So we ended up wandering all around until we decided to pull out the map and find our way back. We eventually met a few other girls from our group at the Pangloss (the building where our test is this morning). Pretty much nothing is open on Sundays in France and we were hungry so we decided to hit up the Macdo (McDonald's) across the street. I got a Royal Bacon with Frites (fries) and a beer. Yum! ... sorta... The beer was super watery and tasted like beer flavored water, but not too bad I guess.
After we were done at Macdo we just wandered around for hours. We went to la Petite France and saw the touristy things and then wandered around downtown near the chapel. We tried to find coffee but it was pretty difficult, the only things open were restaurants. Around 4 our feet started hurting and we were all tired so we headed to our respective homes.
I got back and Helene said my internet worked so I was happy about that! I told her I was going to take a little nap and fell asleep around 4:30... then I woke up this morning at 6:30am again, and realized I had slept for 14 hours!
Well it was nice to get some rest. I have a language placement exam in an hour so wish me luck!
