Josh's first day, and settling in

Josh had his first day of school yesterday and learned quite a few things, about the program at least:

1. We don't have to switch apartments--yay!

2. Instead of having 23 or 24 classmates, as we had anticipated, he has just six. He and Clovis are the only guys and Josh is the only (North) American. There are girls from South Africa, Russia and two from Asia--Taiwan and Korea, I think. The oldest is 38, the youngest in her early 20s. 

3. He'll have more French class than we'd thought because apparently the number of hours offered to previous classes had not been enough. 

4. Most Mondays he will not have class.

After class was over, Josh and Clovis returned with their new pastry toolboxes. Pretty neat, eh? I'll take some pics of its contents later. Everything that's metal has "Graham" engraved on it. Awesome!

I also got to unpack a bit yesterday and I took a few pics of our apartment to offer an idea of our living arrangements. Here are two views of the kitchen. The thing on the far right of the first one--yeah, that's our fridge:

Our salle de bain (bathroom, not to be confused with the toilette, or toilet room, not pictured because it's not all that interesting):

Our living room with our white leather couch and two black hassocks:

I'll take some pics of our bedroom and dining room when they're more presentable. Until then, au revoir!
