"You gotta taste this! This is... oh, it's got this kind of... mmm, it's burny, it's melty... it's not really a smoky taste. It's kind of like a certain... Pshah! It's got like this " Ba-boom! Zap!" kind of taste. Dont you think? What would you call that flavor? "



I feel like such a culinary genius!  I just made an amazing toasted sandwich with my AWESOME OVEN THAT I NOW HAVE!!!  And it was delicious =)  I also bought a pan so that I can actually cook stuff other than pasta.  Super excited!!  I meant to take a picture of the sandwich…but I was hungry.  Maybe with the next one haha.

I've just about gotten all of the paperwork taken care of to be completely moved in.  All that's left to do is look into getting reimbursement since I'm an "unemployed French resident" and therefore qualify for government financial aid and change my housing insurance address.  Everyone here is very nice!  I spoke with the cleaning lady this morning as she checked the condition of my room and she was super helpful and understanding that French isn't my first language.  She was willing to make sure I understood everything and took the time to make sure I knew exactly what to do should I have any problems.  Of course, I don't really have any problems right now, because my room is brand new!  Literally, I had to take the plastic wrap off of some of the appliances.  It's great =)  The only thing that's wrong is they forgot to put the little twisty-thing on the window that makes the shades go up and down, so I can't let in any sunlight :(  Not to worry though, that will be fixed soon!

I've decided that they must have known my personality when checking the room before I got here.  They left me 5 blankets!  Anyone who knows me knows that I'm always freezing, so this is perfect =)  Of course, my new bedroom has a working heater (thank goodness!), so I don't actually need all 5, not to mention the one blanket I brought from home and the other I had to buy in my old, heat-less room.  Luckily, the blanket I bought is super nice and was super cheap, so it's not like I completely wasted my money.  After all, it gets cold in Norman too!  Except apparently not this year…US gets mild winter and Europe gets worst winter in history.  That figures.  Thanks a lot, universe!  Haha =)
