Bored at the prefecture

So I'm sitting here at the prefecture trying to pass the time, so I figured I'd update my blog!

So in the rush of July I've actually had very little time even though I've been on "vacation". There have been great moments of relaxation but still no real vaca. We'll see if I get to travel a bit before I start working or not :)

So in case you aren't up to date, I got a job!! I'll be working as a technician in a Paris startup that develops a telecom software. It's seems like a nice place to work and my coworkers already seem nice. This also meant that I've had to take many a trip to Paris for administrative stuff. Papers to fill ou, proof of this, registration of that...bref its been a crazy few weeks!

I've also had to look for apartments which is an absolute nightmare in Paris!! My first week of looking resulted in a big fat nothing because I didn't have enough documents for any landlord. I still visited but I knew I would be able to get any. It was also at this point in time that unrealised that I had a whole two options of apartment size if I wanted an apartment just for me : small and extra small. The second week was cut short because of a lack of scheduled visits, but it also allowed me to calk ahead for this past week and arrange a lot of visits. So early Monday morning I set off once again for Paris and spent the week running (litterally) from place to place and calling for apartment. Finally yesterday in my very last visit, I got an apartment!!! It's really close to my work which is great but that also meant that I had to take the extra small size option meaning in basically live in a box with a small kitchen area, a mattress, and a bathroom. Ok its not Buckingham palace, but its actually pretty nice.

Now I'm back in Rouen dealing with visa stuff and hoping it'll work out well and after I'll be moving to the big city :).

Well my time is almost up which means this was effectively a great way to pass my time. More to come soon!
