Hey guys! What a long day it's been! First let me say that Wednesday night I went to Open Mic Night at the Teahouse and dinner beforehead with Manon and her boyfriend and it was great. Nice and laid back evening. I'm pretty sure the exam for France and North Africa was a gift to us from hell yesterday morning, and I'm trying a treatment I found to help my hair grow because it hasn't grown since I've been here.
Now the good stuff: today I had French Cultural Patterns and Linguistic Strategies, as always, and mothing in particular happened. I ate a tuna sandwich for lunch which isn't super common here but I've been craving American food. Or really anything without salmon, pasta, or pizza. I convinced somebody to finish my peanut-butter flavored Cheetos because they're gross, and then we had Societé française, in which I received my midterm grade. I got a 15,5 out of 20, which translates as A- in the states, but is also the exact same grade I got on my F.C.P. exam by the same prof. Then I went to the park with three other students because one of them was going to play the ukelele and what else is there to do in the french lifestyle except relax? In the park there was a guy playing guitar alone, so instead of all four of us girls going over to him, I took initiative and invited him to come join us. Super cool!(as the French would say). Instant French friend for us. He went to the karaoke at the bar tonight to rejoin two if the other Americans who were there, but I of course never go. So then i came home to drop my things off and went to dinner. Nothing special; then on the bus home was a veeeeeeeeerydrunk French man who was white but I'm pretty sure he was speaking to himself in arabic at times... among the creepy histerical laughter and the all-but falling face-first. For reference, it's illegal to be drunk in public in France. Then I finally got home and Catherine's on the phone and mom is doing mom things across the pond and Edison is doing Edison things across the language barrier and I am left in my room with a very large fly who may be mentally challenged and I haven't a soul with whom to share my day.
