So I offically moved to Paris yesterday just in time to start my internship. Having problems sleeping in new beds I had hoped to move Saturday to have an extra night to adjust but things being the way that they are (and my luck being the way that it is) it didn't happen that way. I managed to get my stuff into the new place at like 10pm Sunday night and my attempt at sleep after that all but failed.
When I finally was so exhausted that I could sleep my alarm went off and I couldn't ignore it because getting to work by 9am meant I had to leave the apartment at 7:30 (to be safe). I also had to look somewhat decent (add one hour) and there I was, hauling my tired ass out of bed and into the shower at 6:30am.
Fortunately my first day of work consisted entirely of orientation which meant I didn't actually have to do work, I just had to sit there and passively listen to presenters. Unfortunately all of the presenters are HR. And HR personnel in France don't speak English.
An entire day of French on like no sleep and I didn't manage to get fired. I consider that a victory.
