Shrimp

I ate the shrimp below tonight. I should have taken my own picture but didn't. So we ate boiled shrimp with the heads still attached. France never fails to surprise me. The first shrimp I decapitated, I got guts all over my fingers. I fine-tuned my decapitating technique later on and no guts were spilled on me hence forth. The tasted the same as in the US, so it was very yummy and exciting/weird at the same time.

I went to Giverny, Monet's gardens, on Saturday with my French school. I had been there before when I studied abroad, but it was worth going again! We also drove to some old old chateau with a great view and had a picnic, and then we went to the village where Van Gogh died. It was a fully day exploring more of France!

When I came home from my wknd last night, the dad told me that they had run out of gas to heat the house/water, so I had to even take shorter showers now. He told me the boy took a 2 minute shower, and I was like well how long am I supposed to take? And he just said as short as possible. I am already paranoid about the length of my showers. I have to wash my hair tomorrow, and I am worried! A guy is coming Wednesday to fix it though, but I have to handle it, and I am nervous communicating with him. I have to tell him where to park and then the dad told me to check how many liters he actually puts to make sure he doesn't cheat us out. I hope is isn't a cheat!

6 more weeks of au pairing, and I AM DONE! Wooooo!
