My last class was hilarious. It is with Christophe Bureau, and with him I just stay in the class and help out. This class is a Bac+2, which means all the students (and by students I mean hot boys) are around my age and are all studying to go into sales. So today we got to role play and I was pretending to by a car. They all failed horribly, except for Antonio (who is a whizz at english). They all got flustered and when I would try to help them out, they would be like "Yes, yes, that is so" without having any idea what I was saying. Oh silly children.
I bumped into my chere Gardenia, who yelled at me for not dressing warm enough. It was freaking gorgeous out yesterday, who knew it was going to rain today?? I will have to treat weather here like weather in New England--aka be prepared for anything at anytime.
I am currently sitting waiting to get picked up in an hour, because like I said it is raining and I don't yet have a bike, though considering yesterdays disaster I dont know if I want one. Lets just paint this picture--in France, bikes drive on the streets with the cars, as a member of traffic. Picture me, stopped at a red light, cars behind me, and a shoe thats a bit too big. YEAH EXACTLY theres nothing like stopping traffic so you can pick up your shoe to start a day off beautifully. Not to mention I couldnt figure out how to use the speeds so it was impossible going uphill. I may have been the talk of the town yesterday. "hey theres that crazy american on the bike who lost her shoe....is she having a heart attack? should we stop? oh wait thats right, we are french so we stop for no one. Lets go smoke".
let me also apologize for any future strange spelling mistakes and lack of punctuation. the french use an azerty keyboard, and most punctuation (apostrophes and such) are located in the number row aka its a pain in the ass to use them. As it is you have to SHIFT to get a freaking PERIOD. Thats right my friends, the french decided that the colon was more important than the freaking period, which is exactly the reason why I hate french literature.
