Un petit résumé de ma vie en Paris.
1. Petit Écolier: The best cookies ever made with LU's "Le Petit Beurre" biscuits and chocolate. Available at the Monoprix, also comes in dark and white chocolate varieties.
2. Kinder Chocolat: The best chocolate ever made...from Germany. Like the Petit Écolier, also found at the Monoprix. Kinder is kind-er!
3. Coca-Cola: As a Coke addict, you cannot go a day without drinking it. But instead of drinking a 12 oz can to quench your thirst, drink a smaller 15 cl can..."Mini cannette pour les mini soifs!"
4. Student ID Card: Essential if you want to get into any musée at the tarif réduit price. Takes the place of the St. Olaf ID, except it doesn't give you flex dollars for French cafés.
5. Passe NavigGO Découverte: Essential if you want to get on any metro stop within the 2 zones in Paris. But it doesn't let you take the RER to La Défense. We learned that the hard way.
6. Guide Vert: Michelin's Paris guide tells you all you need to know about Paris, in French of course. Also necessary reading material for the Paris Interim course.
7. Glasses: Useful to see things very far away. Also makes you look more studious, if you're not already.
8. Grande Cahier: A means of holding rédactions and polycopies for class. Or also serves as a writing surface.
9. Computer: Important part of life. 2nd to oxygen.
10. Petit Cahier: Small and easy to carry in your purse and take notes of things that interest you. Comes very handy in the Louvre.
11. Pen: See 10.
12. Euros: Allows you to purchase things with great ease. When you have some, people are envious and want it. Caution around metros and crowded areas, they might mysteriously disappear.

Very creative "life by number"!! haha I love it. I am so glad to see that things are going well there in Paris for you!
Yeah... about those cats. I didn't see any in the airport but have seen some stray cats and dogs on the streets occasionally. I am actually surprised to not have seen more. If I tame one enough I will bring it back for Liz haha. Miss you!
Salut, Danni! bonjour de Tampa, en Floride! I am at the aitrport taking advantage of free internet--the hotel at my conference wanted to rip its guests off by charging for everything--I was afraid they might charge for throwing things in the wastebasket!So, I avoided the internet and spent my time drawing! I think you shoudl add sketchbook to your "essentials' list! I just spent three days wiht people who talked about the importance of international travel, so I'll close by telling you to do lots of cool FRENCH things-- find activities that are unusual that'll give you the chance to meet and talk and imporve your language while enlarging your circle of friends!Love, Mom
