Welcome to Nantes

So one of the first things I noticed while being driven to my residence was that there is a lot of cement in Nantes. As in, there are no front lawns, gardens, bushes or anything rmotely green. Yes, there is the occasional tree but it's just sticking out from the cement zith no grass surrounding them. However, about a &à min zalk away is this "Jardin des Plantes", a big garden thing with a pond and walkways. It could be nice for the occasional jog. I think I'll need some sort of plant for my room. I'm really gettting my 134€ worth of residence, I don't think it could get any worse. First of all I'm on the main floor, so my window faces a parking lot and my curtains are see through. So I can either have a nice sunny room but let everyone see inside or close these metal shutters and feel like I'm living in a dungeon. So far I've let the sun shine in but I'm going to eventually get some more useful curtains. Also, I'm going to starve here. Or I'll just eat horribly. The fridge is divided up into square foot cubicles that you have to share with two other people. Mine has already filled up. So I have no place to keep anything cold or frozen and all there is to use in the kitchen is a hot plate and a microwave. Awesome. There were a fez things I was happy to see though. 1. At this walt-mart-ish store called Carrefour they don't have plastic bags and you have to buy these 0.60€ reusable recycled plastic bags and 2. The hallways of the residence are always dark. You turn the light on in the section you need and they are on timers so in 1 minute they'll turn off automatically. Other than that I have to yet to be impressed, however I was pretty tired and out of it all day.
