Woke up to pouring rain and large gusts of wind. Did not want to go outside. But did. Because I am a good doobie. Then I broke my 13€ umbrella.
Class was okay. Translation was torture though. I really do not understand why people cannot chew gum quietly. It's really not that hard. If I had my way, I would uninvent gum. No one NEEDS gum. I sure could live without it. Especially if it meant I would never have to suffer through two hours of chomping and popping ever again. Seriously though! It's along the same lines as biting your fork when eating. THIS IS SO EASY TO AVOID, YET EVERYONE DOES IT. AND IT IS THE WORST SOUND IN THE WORLD. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU NEED TO STOP. IT IS TERRIBLE AND NOT CLASSY AND CAN'T YOU FEEL THE AWFUL METAL-SCRAPING-AGAINST-BONE SENSATION?! DOESN'T THAT CREEP THE SHIT OUT OF YOU?! WHY THE HELL DOES THIS NOT BOTHER PEOPLE?! THERE ARE TEARS IN MY EYES RIGHT NOW JUST THINKING ABOUT IT, IT IS SO ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC AN IMAGE/SENSATION. Seriously. People. It is extremely easy to eat without EVER letting the fork touch your teeth. Why, WHY do you insist on producing this atrocious, bone-chilling sound? (Oh Katie, where are you when I need to rant about the fork-teeth thing? You're the only one who understands.)
After class went grocery shopping with Eric and Kristen and bought way too much junk food. Then went back to Kristen's house, watched a few episodes of the Office and then headed home, where I worked on my exposé until it was time for dinner.
We ate dinner with the fam tonight (the fam plus their two nieces) and it was fun, but not delicious. Some kind of sausage and lentils thing. Not such a fan. Can we talk about the texture of lentils? So gross. But we chatted and it was nice.
After dinner I brought the text for my exposé (a presentation, which I am giving tomorrow) downstairs and Claude helped me correct it. It wasn't too bad and he told me that my French has improved a lot since the start of the semester! Which made my night a lot better. But overall, today still kinda sucked.

Solution: When you have your own place you can have only plastic forks!!!!
Maybe you could invent carbon fiber forks? Not sure what they would sound/feel like though.
Auxiliary solution: get some chopsticks (WARNING: not compatible with cornflakes or chowdah). Alternatively, throw it all into a blender with water or turpentine and suck it through a straw.
Masticative silence is the bane of my existence.
