Okay, so yesterday totally stunk. Today was a lot better. I managed to be able to get my mentor to at least sign stuff that I needed to, I learned a few cool colloquial phrases, and my new friend at work invited me out with she and her friends. Actually, she and I went shopping for her Mother's Day present, which is this weekend in France. Anyway, tonight I actually understood a lot of our conversations!!!! It was so great, and she is the best about explaining stuff to me. It was a nice night. I know we have stepped outside of our work relationship because we did "les bises" at the end of the night.
Anyway, here is a picture of my shirt after the button skilling spree. Observe. The staple had fallen out since then. I gave up.
Oh, and this is what my desk looked like when I left today. I SWEAR I did not stage this. My desk is really, truly this bad. Every single day. My piles of research continue to grow.
Tonight, we walked along the Seine and we snapped a few pics. Pretty, huh?
I can't tell you how much this scene made me want to go get a bottle of wine and walk along the Seine. Obviously, I never would. It was just so nice and relaxed, so contrary to the Paris that I see most says on my way to and from work that I just wanted to be part of it in every way that I could.

Looks like you are finding some time to enjoy yourself. That is great. You friend looks very sweet. I'm glad that you have been able to go out and do some fun things.
Your desk cracked me up. If I would have left my desk like that when I worked at Sundance Catalog I would have been in big trouble. My workspace was to always be nice and tidy.
Sometimes it is hard not to be able to have the occasional glass of wine isn't it? Especially when there is fine cuisine, cheese, etc to be had. We must be strong. You are so cute. It looks like a very relaxing atmosphere. The French certainly know how to enjoy life don't they?
