Hmmm...

It sounded nice, working at the library Tuesday through Saturday and having Sunday and Monday off. Sunday to relax and Monday to get errands done, right? Wrong.

A lot of things are closed here on Sundays. Everything is closed on Mondays. I have been trying to buy vegetables for a week. But I have to be either at French class or at work every morning by 9. And even though the beautiful affordable outdoor vegetable market couldn't be any closer to me unless it was actually in my apartment, I can never manage to buy my vegetables before work. After work, I can make it before they close IF (and yes, that was meant to be a big "if") I leave work on time, do not get lost going to the metro, do not get on any of the three lines going in the wrong direction, and don't take the wrong exit out of the metro station and find myself completely turned around when I surface. Besides that, it stays light until 10pm and I get off work at 6pm, so I often like to walk. It takes about an hour, and I get to see Paris. Only, then I skip the vegetables. In addition, I find a lot of good new bakeries. This is a very bad combination.

Anyway, back to my days off. SO, really the only time I have to buy things is SUNDAY morning (the markets are closed Sunday afternoons). And, since Sunday is my only day to sleep in (I know, I said I have Mondays off, but I meant that I go to class on Monday but not to work) I, uh, pretty much like to take advantage of it.

Clearly, this is all a conspiracy to make me fat.
