Whew, I'm back for the day (and starving, might I grumpily add). Woke up at 7:15 this morning to try and throw some clothes on to be down at the office for the carte de sejour (our long term visa) by 7:45 since we were told to be there at 8. Actually got there about on time and there was already quite a few people there for the opening at 9. Ended up waiting the hour fifteen to discover that we don't get to go today, so we have appointments for tomorrow -- and this took another hour to accomplish working it out. So we have to be back there at 8 in the morning again to try to get these cartes taken care of.
Oh well, at least we'll finally have them. Which is one scratch off my big list of things that need to happen soon, alongside the booking of the hostel in Zurich (Youthhostel Zurich), which I'm really excited about now.
Afterwards we ended up chilling in the dorms and eating a very long lunch that was actually fairly small before heading over to La Villette to listen to Prof. Ron Kenley speak about his studio course, which I've decided I want to take. We have to take an "international" course anyway, and his sounds like the more suited of the two for me. Sat through that for an hour fifteen and then Xavier (one of the professors, pronounced "Za-vee-ay" and not "Ex-ay-vee-er," btw) took us by metro to see the Fondation Cartier, which is holding an exhibit on Cesar -- it's interesting work, to say the least. We hung out there for a bit and looked at the work and then came back and now I'm looking forward to heating me up some tomato soup and getting this sorry dorm cleaned.
Out.
