Mon Maison! =D



The sitting room. A total of four to five steps long, and three steps wide. Cute.





The long steps can be seen here. It's about four small steps for man to the wall, people.







My room, with packing to be done!




My room, with everything finished! Isn't it pretty? Don't you dig the bedspread?? I do, for 18.88 at Sears, I do. BABY.






My desk. It's nice, although the chair brings the phrase, 'spinal pain' to mind. Definitely not pleasant, no back support. I either will need to fix this, or buy a 'new' one at Village des Valuers. Probably going to be buying a chair. =)

OK, ok, 'mon chambre' instead of 'mon maison' might be a closer approximate, but it's small and somewhat nice, and the price was right (Yay for cheap). More importantly, my place is STACKED. To say 'tout inclus' about this place is definitely an understatment. You noticed that TV in the pictures? Yeah, well, somebody LEFT IT HERE. Along with their Playstation (?) Sega Genesis (???) and their DVD player (!). On top of that, in the closet, there are TONS of expensive things...dishware, a wok, what seems to be a fully functioning HP Printer, and other boxes unknown what they may contain. C'est bizzare!



Steve (my roommate, one of three) seems really nice, so hopefully the others are nice, when I meet them as well. I also haven't met my landlady yet, nor had to pay for this month's rent, so, I'd say, it's looking up! =D Steve tells me she is 'tres gentil' (he didn't know the word 'nice,' in English but because I'm a nice guy I told him.) so hopefully we get along well. ( I REALLY HOPE SO. Maybe I'll bake her some good Western Canadian baking??)

*Yawn* Well, I'm exhausted. Hope you all are well. Quebec is really nice so far, it feels really homey, despite the immense size of it.

Good to hear you are getting some serious French learning done!

On this note: it is "ma maison" and "ma chambre" since both maison and chambre are feminine :-)

Good luck with the learning and all... It gets more difficult with the age (and time away from university)

C'est tres belles chambre et maison! I hope I said that right. Anyways, I'm so jealous. You have to keep posting pictures. I really want to see ones of beautiful Quebec city. Maybe it will inspire me to come visit? Winterfest is coming up.
