Apartment set up

I've been staying in my apartment for the last 2 nights and for a place at a school, its actually pretty big. it has 2 bedrooms (i took the biggest one the fartherst away) which is connected by a hall. in the same hall is the shower - with no toilet cuz its europe and the toilet is in a FREAKING closet!!! and i took a shower yesterday and halfway thru the water went cold so i couldnt wash my hair. and i tried to have one this morning but the water is cold, so im gonna have to ask the enlgish teacher. oh yea and i used the washer last night and its kinda funky i shut my clothes in and started the wash but then wanted to add something else in, but the door is sealed shut, you can't even get in if u wanted. and another weird thing is that when the wash was done i opened it up and the clothes were sooooooaked hahahaha thzere was a puddle of water practically. and since there is not dryer, u have to hang them up on this drying rack in front of the heater - so it takes prolly a day to do your laundry but i think im getting the hang of it. plus i might have put the washer on the wrong setting cuz i don't know what the heck 'lavage' ment - apparently not regular wash! anyway my apartment is nice besides that, ive set up fifa and been playing a lot. also walked into the city yesterday and realized its not that small. i check out this huge cathedral, and walked around the town. i wanted to find a pub with a tv so i could watch liverpool but i doubted they would have it on. i really cant wait until the american comes tho cuz my apartment is kinda quiet and big for just one person. tho i have made a coulpe trips to the store so far and oooommmmgggg i love french food. i bought three different cheeses, 2 bottles of wine, a 10 pack of beer, 3 piZZas, yogurt, coffee, baguettes, some ham, pasta man and the store isn't too overpiced. but the best part of all is that i can eat at the high school and for only 2.50 euros per meal!!!! i got the student rate instead of the teacher's and so i can have lunch and dinner there if i want to. andrea (the englsih teacher) recommended i do that cuz think how much money i could save. if all i had to buy from the supermarkets was breakfast and food (and of course beer/wine) on the weekends, i could save close to 500 euros a month which would be GREAT for traveling. anyway thats it for now - seems like its gonna take some time for me to get phone, internet, and bank set up cuz they still havent processed all the papers.
