yesterday i found out some wonderful news.

thanks to my investigative skills. not really, but because i took the time to look into some paperwork, I was able to take away one of my stresses right now. yay!

So i apologize in advance but this isn't that interesting to people who don't live in paris or don't really know places with metros, but here we go.

so I have a metro pass, its a student one. with this student pass it enables me to travel anywhere in Paris during weekends and holidays, the rest of the week mon-friday i only have the ability to travel between zones 4 and 5 which is where i live. the center of paris is zones 1-2, you can see a problem here, yea? it costs about 8 euros round trip to get from where i live to paris, and on my income, thats not really feasible. anyways, I have been stressing some lately about this summer when I move to Paris and how I'm going to get around because the family I am going to be working for was not going to supply me with a metro pass for the center of paris and i'm trying to save money, not waste it all. Well, i looked into my paperwork for my metro pass yesterday and found out that my current family has paid for my metro pass up until september 1 of this year, even 2 months after i am no longer with them, AND from july 1-august 31 is a holiday therefore with my already paid metro pass i will have access to all of paris, including the center zones where I will be living.

This is such a blessing!!! It seems so small but I really see this as such a huge blessing because its like someone telling you people in Texas, "you're gas is paid for for the next two months". Wouldn't you be happy??? i thought so!

So basically, I am one happy gal right now!!! One stress down, and focusing on the positive...

AND its holiday starting....TONIGHT!!!!!! for one week I am family free, kid free and am on my own... hallelujah!!!

Love, me
