I am finally getting the hang of being in class again after almost 2 full months off of school, and let me tell you, going from nothing to 18 hours of class a week is brutal, inconvenient, torture. ;)
The homework so far hasn't been too hard, just very time consuming, and I find that I am occupied more than I was before, which definitely helps my mood elevate.
Things worth noting:-Pasta place on bressigny is amazing, and the cute lil man who runs it made my day on thursday =)
-Teachers who cancel a weeks worth of class(3 total hours) and then change them to 8ams spread on the day I don't have class until almost 4pm, make me want to throw myself off the 5th floor of the Bazin.
-8am Friday classes are never going to get easier....especially if I continue to go out on Thursday nights.
-My teachers, shop owners, and even random people have thought I was swedish, or russian, but tonight I dyed my hair dark brown, so hopefully the confusion will cease. ;)
Things that need a little more explaining:
-My traduction prof. this week asked me to read an answer, so I did and he was like uhmm what? (the answer I had was a-t-elle.....) so I said "A...t...elle" very slowly, n he spells on the board "ATL" and says again "what?" to which I say "non, pas la lettre...elle...comme une fille..." as I turn increasingly more red. Finally he gets what I was saying and apologizes for getting it wrong. We were both red as tomatoes after this horrible (but now laughable) experience.
-Liana and I have been talking more with Chantal, and it helps, she actually kind of sits awkwardly with us now expecting us to tell her our life stories but we're not quite there yet, however she has taken to walking around in a robe a lot (as does dominique) so I'm guessing she's used to us.
-We made dinner tonight, and I'm not talking boxed, heat it up and eat it dinner. So far, when we have cooked it has been soup, baguette pizza, or random concauctions with eggs and peppers(which actually were quite good) but no, this time we made croque monsieurs the good old fashioned way, and they were worth every minute=) We followed by carmalizing some bananas for dessert and voila.=)
2moro is the first CIDEF excursion, to Mont Saint Michel and Saint Malo (google them, you'll be jealous)
however, we depart the school at 7:15am, which means getting there no later than 7am. I regret to admit I have my alarm set to 5:20 am, and looking at the clock, I'm going to call it a night. I promise to tell all about stinky bus adventures, and the beautiful experience of the ocean=) Pray it doesn't rain!
Goodnight faithful readers.<3
