1. Counting is hard. Not only were there some issues (that phrasing indicates I do not take responsibility for these "issues") counting to 1 in the very beginning, but I also went from 10 to 11.5 earlier today (which I do take responsibility for). So to "fix" that (really to make up for it, because let's be real I could just go edit the posts and you would never know), this is 10.5, and shall be followed by 11. I am the queen of logic.
2. I did lie in that post where I said I didn't but then maybe that was a lie in itself (poste 10). I said the french never hug. In fact, there is a very high frequency of "the french hug" on the streets of Paris, which is easy to spot because it is always accompanied by a giant FRENCH KISS. Walking around this city, I see more PDAs per meter than in a high school hallway on Valentine's Day. And I am not just talking about a Holy Names hallway, people. And since it is hard to smoke and kiss simultaneously, although I have seen it done, most couples are not even obscured by a nice private cloud of carcinogens! Inappropriate.
3. This is just a happy tidbit of news. There is a little boulangerie across the street from my appartement d'accueil, and I am now a Regular. The ladies greet me and ask about my day, and they always know what I am going to order: pain au chocolat, and if it is almost lunch, a sandwich (this is a point of awkwardness however, since I do not know the proper name for the sandwich I always get and just discovered it as "the one without meat", which, based on their reactions when I ask for this sandwich, is not its real name.). I also realized that while it is ok to have a few days when you don't really feel like eating food other than chocolate croissants, when you start eating normally again, you should probably cut it down to one croissant a day.
