2 months off of school is now biting me in the ass.

okay, so the last time I updated it was, what Thursday? hmm. okay.

I'm not going to fill you in on a bunch of information of each day, because one, I'm too tired, and two, I doubt you all read it anyway.

so thursday Liana and I explored the town at night and got into some sketchy areas, but it was okay, and made for some pretty pictures. We heard a lot of parties going on, and were jealous, so we tried to find alcohol of our own, but unless we sat at a bar(non, merci) we were out of luck. So we went home and eventually went to sleep.
Friday we did some exploring of the other side of Angers, and got a little lost but alas, it made for good pictures, fun with friends and of course a stop at a patisserie =)

Saturday we were up sort of early, and went to the market for some eggs and some other things. We then went to Angers local soccer (futball) game, and got in for free! Ladies were free, so that was cool, We had to go through a security pat down that felt more like being felt up than a pat down, but all went well. We watched the game and chatted, but it was cold, so we left at the halftime break. (only after being hit on by a creepy man claiming to have attended med school in the u.s.)That night Liana and I tried France's equivalent to the four loko, Desperado Red, and let me tell you, I was not impressed. It tastes like kool-aid-y tequila, so it's easy enough to drink, except I didn't feel drunk at all, all I felt was energized from it, which caused me to not sleep very well that night(or since for that matter, but I can't blame that on alcohol)
Sunday was sunny, blue skies and just under 50 degrees, so although Liana and I were going to be lazy all day, when Dominique suggested we go outside and enjoy it, we felt guilty, so we did. We ended up walking across town and seeing Leah, buying potato chips =) and bueno bars (I didn't really like it, but Liana fell in love) We explored Leah's neighborhood, and eventually ended up by the big fountain talking and watching adorable french children(why are they cuter than american ones?) until it started to get cold and dark, so Liana and I headed home.
We were proud of the fact that we made french bread pizzas ourselves, and were enjoying them when, Mozart peed all over the kitchen floor! Liana freaked out and I just kept eating lol. We didn't want to say "peed" to chantal so we were trying to figure out a way to tell her, when she walked in to ask us about doing our laundry..Liana pointed to the ground and said "uh..mozart..." and chantal said "oh mon dieu Mozart a fait pee pee?....DOMINIQUEEEEE" ....alas poor Dominique came in and cleaned it up while Chantal showed us how to do laundry (we still turned our whites blue.)
Monday was the big day of finding out about exams...we were beyond nervous. but it ended up being okay. I placed 324 for all of you out there wondering. This put me in a 6 credit hour langue class, and was a little higher than M. Palka and I had planned, but alas it will be okay. (j'espere!)
I won't bore you with those details but when it was all said and done I was at school for 13 hours on Monday, and just over 8 today, thankfully tomorrow I only have one class. sigh.

quick overview of what I'm taking/about them.

Langue-6 credit hours(324 level) I like my prof and made some Chinese friends, so it should be okay. It is a little challenging already though.

Litterature-3 credits. Ugh, shoot me, the prof was super boring and kept asking us to name authors (french) of the 20th century...uhm. sorry I'm from America and don't know many of those authors let alone yours.oh well heres to hoping it gets better.

Traduction-3 credits. this is a translation course for english-french, the prof is super nice(and gorgeous) and the homework wasn't too bad. I feel like I'll learn a lot from this class. (and prof. blue eyes helps my mood a little)

Histoire- 3 credits. covers 1789-1950, and normally I wouldn't like this, but the prof was amazing, super nice and funny. I took notes,and she made it interesting to learn. I think this might be my fav course.

Phonetique- 3 credits. haven't had this one yet, I'll have it on Thursday and let you know how that one goes.

tidbits:
-Shannon might come visit me after her classes are done=) This makes me very very happy as I miss friends and home very much.
-Liana and I are getting better at the whole cooking thing...kind of.
-my straightener bit the dust, so I had to buy one here, and will be using it 2moro.


-Many people find me more interesting once they find out I'm american, but so far on first guess they think I'm russian or swedish...must be the blonde hair. Idk.
