7 Hours of French Classes Later . . .

I don't think I can move. I am so incredibly tired, and I know that tomorrow is just going to be longer and more exhausting. Today, I woke up at 8 for Oral Expressions (where we "learned" the future tense. I'm too tired to even be sarcastic about this, so I'll just say it: it was a waste of my time. I felt like I was back in high scool (or Professor Becht's class) again). After that class, I came back to the apartment, where I got some food and then headed back to the school for a 3-hour-long class on African Studies. Yes, it is extremely interesting, and I love the class and the professor, but three hours of non-stop French is very exhausting. The best part about my Wednesdays? They never end. After African Studies, I hopped on the bus to get to the Musee for my 2-hour Art History class, where we walk all over the museum for two hours and talk about European art throughout the centuries. Today, we covered . . . something. Well, all the answers to her questions were either "Sebastien," "triangle," "classique," or "baroque," so you figure it out.

So, after art history, it was already 6pm so I decided it was time for me to get home. I still have almost all of L'Avare to read, and it's supposed to be finished tomorrow, so I figured I had a lot of homework to do. Have I started it yet? No. I had to watch Glee first. But I'm about to do my work now - it should be a party.

Also, today Emily V. and Allie talked about going to Greece for our break. I am so excited about it, and I really can't wait to start planning. We need to go somewhere for a weekend before Greece though (Allie will be in Spain, so Emily and I want to go somewhere too) - any ideas? Or any ideas where I can find cheap flights/travel options to Greece?

Let's see - that's pretty much it for my day. I'm feeling better (finally). I really think that all my food that I bought has helped a lot. Unfortunately, it's all almost gone (didn't I just go shopping yesterday?) so I guess I have to go back tomorrow. Why is life so expensive?!

OH! I FOUND PEANUT BUTTER! Kind of. It says it's peanut butter, but it comes in a can that requires a can-opener to open it. So, the jury's not out yet on this one. I will be sure to keep you posted though :) Haha, and when I brought it home, my host mom says "Oh yeah, we don't really have that in France. It makes you fat, and we don't like to eat stuff like that." Wow. Interesting point of view, considering we had nutella crepes for dinner last night.

Gotta love it.

It's Moliere time!
Love, Josie

  1. Wow people in France sound like they absolutely nothing about health or nutrition or at the very least the way you describe them makes it sound that way. As a Side this is not the only thing you have said that I'm basing this judgment off of. One of the other things would be people telling you that you drink to much water and its bad for you. The list goes on from there but I think the water thing take the cake. Sometimes Im just amazed. Also i hope you liked your bedtime story tonight and we can pick up were we left off tomorrow or whenever your back to your apartment. Sleep well!
