A Post for The Past Monday

I didn't do much this past Monday aside from sleeping. I admit, I can be very lazy sometimes, especially when the weather outside is not that welcoming, and I have no class to attend :) Also, I had to catch up on all the sleep I missed when in Amsterdam this past weekend. (I promise to write more about Amsterdam and its ...ness, but I wanted to make this post more relevant.)


I always forget. Not to pin this specifically to the French government or its people, but the French really really value their time off. That said, when I went to the bank Monday afternoon to get my bank card and to make sure everything was in order, they were closed. Hah! Of course. No big deal as I went on Tuesday, but still. It's just one of those things as an American I don't think I'll ever get used to. It's not all businesses that are closed Mondays. But banks specifically are closed Mondays. Always. 


Oh, the French, so effortlessly frustrating sometimes.


And just for a photo update (still waiting on my phone cord to upload the rest) here's my group of friends and me in Amsterdam, just in front of the red light district!
