So I get up, take a shower (very un-frenchy). The bathtub has no shower curtain. So I'm standing there, naked, and wondering what on earth do I do? Do I sit down and hold onto the nozzle and take a shower/bath, do I stand up and risk getting water all over the floor, or do I sit down and take a bath? I end up doing a mixture of all three. I haven't the faintest idea of what the french do though. I surprisingly did get myself clean...though it took maybe twice as long as it usually does. I just have to get used to it I guess.
I then exit the bathroom, into my room and get dressed. I go to brush my teeth but my electric toothbrush dies. *sadness* I don't think it charged last night and i'll just try again after I'm done with my computer. Here's the electronic set up I have:
European outlet--->european outlet converter plug--->converter--->us outlet plug--->extension cord--->toothbrush and computer.
it's tres complicated....complica i think in french. i know how to say it but not spell it. lol.
So then after attempting to brush my teeth, i brushed my hair successfully and then sat down to have petit dejeuner. or breakfast. it consisted of one slice of a baguette with cheese and confitture or jam, one slice of hard toast with cheese and honey or mais, one jasmine tea and one mixed juice thing in my glass. it was all very delicious. but...i didn't know my host mother was heating up water on the stove so i kind of waited there and then thought maybe they don't have hot tea so i grabbed the cold water off the table and poured it into my glass and put my tea bag in it. lol. so when she moved the pot over to me and i saw the hot water i said, "ooohhhh" and poured out some of my cold water into the sink and let her fill the rest with hot water. ooops my bad.
Then i'm sitting and eating my bread and suddenly "Oops I did it again" comes through the speakers. I started guffawing like crazy. It was super hilarious. Then, if that wasn't enough the entire family starts singing along with britany spears. It was the funniest thing of my life. the funniest thing ever. omg.
After breakfast while talking to my boyfriend my outlet converter set up that I told you about exploded. Like...the conversion thing...started smoking and sparked and it went crazy. so now i'm not sure what to do. I think it's because I had it set to the wrong setting when my stuff was emitting high amounts of electricity and i had the converter set to low. so now it's sitting outside and i'll throw it out once it stops smoking. talk about crazy though. and incredibly scary.
last night the family and i walked around the town and they showed me all the good places to have drinks or ice cream. haha. and what places are open at what times. right now they went to the market and i decided to stay here in the apartment. good thing i did too or else i wouldn't have seen the explosion. that could've been really bad. all the electric stuff still works so i didn't short-circuit the entire apartment which is very good. i'm happy i didn't do that. that would've been awful for sure.
well i'm off to walk around and see new stuff or old stuff or read or do something non-electronically because we all know how that turned out.
