Sorry!

Hello everyone!!!

I am really sorry that I do not write as often as I would like too. The problem is that I still do not have the internet at my new place. The 60 year old man doing the renovations in my apt is the only guy who can fix the internet problem we are currently having and he has not been here since I moved in. Im hoping he is ok. 60 year old man doing hard renovations day after day.. you never know!! So for now I have to use my roomates computer but I feel bad about doing that so most of the time I just take my computer to a little cafe however I can not do that all the time. So you will have to bare with me for a while. As soon as it is fixed I will be able to keep regular updates.

Everything is still going fantastic. 2 nights ago I was out with some friends at around 11pm. We sat down close to a canal and had some food and they drank wine (stillllll not use to it.. but you will all be pleased to know that I now dont barff to the smell of wine, quite the improvement) and all of a sudden I looked up and at a distance I could see the eiffel tower. It was the first time I saw the eiffel tower at night since Ive been here.. and not only that, but it was flashing and somehow.. it finally got to me that I was in Paris.. It took 20 days... but I got it.. I sort of realized that I wasnt here for only a week or two.. but for a whole year... living a totally different experience than whatever I had experienced in Paris before. I looked beside me and all the people around me were people I didnt know a month ago. I dont know how to explain it really, but it was AWESOME!!!! :) Just everyday meeting new people living different things its so sweet!

There is one thing I still cant get use to.. even though the majority of you will say that its like back home.. but its NOT!!! its the whole give 2 kisses on the cheek business. Its all the time!!! you enter a room you leave a room, you meet someone in the street in a mall in a grocery store.. ITS ALL THE TIME... i dont remember being so kissy kissy back in Quebec. And some people get offended when I forget to kiss them before I leave.. twice I got the "you left without giving me kisses yesterday, your in France now thats how we do it here" hahaha.. it just feels so different! im going to come back home and be the most kissy kissy person ever! My family better get use to it!!... or maybe not.. i dont know...
Also.. EVERYDAY minimum twice a day I get the "ah I love your accent it is so cute!!! youre from Quebec.. keep talking to me.." or the "your french is funny!!!" and I even get it in English " ah your Canadian accent is sooo cute!!!!!" so no matter what I speak im either cute or funny.. which I guess is not SUCH a bad thing :P im even teaching my french friends some French Canadian and they get a kick out of it!!!!!!

So all in all I have been keeping busy, enjoying Paris as much as I can. I have a huge picnic planned for May 1st and i am looking forward to it!! it will be fun!!

As for my job.. i dont know if i REALLY want to get in the details... but all I can say is.. OH DEAR GOD HELP ME!!!! she is crazy... my boss is absolutely crazy!! you know.. I cant go from a sweet angel boss like Doratha to a crazy yelling-throwing stuff boss like her... I need an in between. I know no boss will EVER be like Doratha.. BUT COME ON... this cant be for real. For example;

There was a lady staying at the hostel who was sick, so sick she couldnt stand up without falling.. she was dizzy... puking.... basically needed to go to the hospital so I asked my boss if SOMEONE could accompany her to the hospital.. and i guess she thought I was asking if I could accomnpany her to the hospital (which is just across the street.... i know because she yelled at me so much when I asked where the hospital was) so she starts yelling, in French of course and saying..... WELL OF COURSE YOU WANT TO GO!! YOU ARE NOT A RECPTIONIST ANYMORE YOU ARE A NURSE...GOOO ON GOOOO so i told her... no im asking if SOMEONE can go with her..... WELL YOU WANT TO GO SO GO....GOOOOOOOOOOO (and boy was she screaming.. the sick lady even started crying) so I tell her.. No I dont want to go.. I want to know if someone can go with her... YOURE SO STUBBORN YOU.. WILL YOU JUST GOOO YOU WANT TO GO NURSE THEN GOOOOO.... so i said maybe we can call an ambulance... DO YOU REALLY THINK AN AMBULANCE WILL COME HERE JUST FOR THAT... COMEEE ONN JUSTT GOOOO then she threw some stuff on the counter.... I was so pissed... so i looked at her and said... fine im going but you better not be angry with me when I get back.... when I was walking towards the hospital I was telling myself.. NO WAY!!! NOOO WAYYY GEN!!!! just grab your stuff and leave NOW dont take this!!!! she is evillll.. EVILLLL!!!! when I got back I was so nervous... but at the same time I was happy that the lady was at the hospital because she really was not feeling good.. anyways she was calm when I got back... fiou
she yelled again after when I asked her a question.... I was trying to understand something and she was just yelling so I gave up trying to understand. DORATHA I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!! no words can explain how much I miss you and I love you so much and you are the best boss in the whole entire world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So for now, until may 6... I am only working wednesdays.. there was a debate that I might also be getting Sundays.. but she told me she didnt feel I was too mature enough to be left alone and that all day I was doing things I wasnt suppose to be doing.. of course right after that she left for the entire afternoon leaving me ALL ALONE and when I asked her what I was doing wrong... she couldnt say anything... I found out later that she just doesnt want to fire the guy who is on Sundays because from may 6 to may 22 i am doing EVERYDAY.. and she didnt want to fire the SUnday guy so that he could work the Sundays so i wouldnt have to work 14 days non-stop...which you know is kind of nice of her.. but if there really was a day I would want to work.. it would be sunday because she is not there... but cant have it both ways I guess! Anyway, come May 22 I will be working 2 days a week (20 hours a week) which is pretty decent... as it will give me a few days to do some Euro-Travelling... work 2 days get 5 days off to go here and there!!! well thats assuming that I can handle her little fits, if not I will just look for something else. I mean I will not let her ruin my Paris experience. No way! If it is too much or if I am constantly under pressure I will find something else. FOR SURE come October I will look for something else.. something with more hours.. since it will be getting colder and I wont want to do AS much travelling.. and im pretty sure I will be needing some money...
but either way im sure it will all work out!! and hopefully no body will get hurt (possibly her).. hehe!!
Wow I wrote a lot.
I have to get ready because my friend Jesper is coming over and we are going to watch my new favorite show in the world, How I Met Your Mother.. ohhh gosh its swell :)
Hope everyone is doing good!!
Miss you!!
Love you!!
