Day One, Paris

11:00 Wake up and realize I just slept 12 hours. My roommate is surprised to find out I was in my room the whole time (I told her I’d probably wake up at 8am).

12:00 Look for the nearby supermarket, starting in the opposite direction I was supposed to go. Yeahhh…

1:00 Supermarket shopping

1:30 Cook lunch at the apartment. Eat lunch while reading our recently delivered yellow pages. Highlight: There are go-karts in Paris!

2:30 Go on internet.

4:00 Subwayyyyy and general wandering until my meeting

5:00 Meet with the professor I will be working with for my thesis, feel comforted (and therefore complacent :O) about where I am in the process.

5:30 Buy pens, consider making my own furniture out of wooden planks

7:00 Paris Zen Center

8:30 Back to the apartment, frowning at men who catcall in the street. I will probably be doing this continuously for the next three months until I come up with a better response.

9:30 Internet, figure out plans for the week

French word of the day: overbooké. Guess what it means.
