List of ideas

Well, I have to say that it is not easy to know where to begin blogging about the day-to-day adventures Becca and I experience living in Paris and going to school in Cergy. We have been compiling blog ideas over the past three months... Every time we see something weird - or have to deal with something unfamiliar- we look at each other and say, "BLOG!"
But we made an actual list today -so I am going to give you a taste of some of the topics now, but we will revisit them (and others) in more detail at a later date. To give you an idea of what I am rambling about here is part of our list:

1. The nylons + shorts + boots phenomenon (and other fashion choices- the good, the bad, and the bizarre)
   
2. The ins and outs of subway riding (example: ALWAYS look bored, despondent, or annoyed.)
3. The college students' LOVE of school supplies-Just know that I have the coolest pencil bag in the class (We checked one day during a break.)
4. You need a picture of yourself (or 2) for EVERYTHING-aka- Always carry a head shot.
5. Where do the French buy dental floss? We can't find it anywhere.
6. I love the coffee machines here- the coffee is less than great- but the principle is brilliant. (Especially since people don't carry portable coffee cups.)
   
7. Wine is good and cheap. (shocking I know- but just be prepared for some wine posts)
8. The overuse of the word exceptional...
9. Want to sound more French? Say "franchement" every other word. If you really want to sound French, disperse a few "Baaaahhhh"s and "uuuuuuuhhh"s in your sentence. You will be golden.
   
10. The back stories on our classmates. (Becca's specialty- she likes to figure out who is dating whom. She has nick names for them. It is hilarious- to us, at least.) As for me, out of our class of 100, I might recognize 6 of them outside of class. I am always asking, "Is she new?"
    

Feel free to comment on any of the above topics that sound particularly interesting and we will start there...
