Moving is hard in any country, even in a small 290 sq ft apartment where it seems like you don't have a lot of stuff.
Somehow stuff found it's way into corners I forgot existed...
I'm excited and yet stressed at the same time. Rue des Marionniers is going to be 100% better than our little apartment in the 7ème right now. It's 2x bigger, right along the street with a ton of restaurants, a skip away from our school and I'll have a big fridge and a cuisinère aux gaz, or a gas table range.
We'll have a washing machine.
We'll have Bellecour.
Still, moving (which in French is demenagement) is a beeyatch and I still have a bunch of things to try and stuff into boxes.
Feeling happy today though because I've been complemented on my French three times in 24 hours by random strangers. C'est booonnnn.
