The weekend is over, and everything is open, so today was the day to start doing things. I woke up early this morning and walked with Renae (one of my apartment-mates) to the bank and post office. We set up our French bank accounts, which was a long and boring process but not a very difficult one. We also mailed off our OFII forms...again, relatively simple. I spent most of the rest of the day around the apartment, but went food shopping late in the afternoon at Carrefour, where I managed to find some organic peanut butter. I made lentils and rice for dinner tonight, not very complicated, but the first dinner I have made here that wasn't a nutella sandwich or a bowl of oatmeal, so I felt very accomplished.

I definitely need to be more adventurous than I have been today, but I felt so accomplished after successfully opening a French bank account that it seemed acceptable to laze about a bit for the day. I will be more productive/exciting tomorrow.
