Today I participated in lecture twice! And was right, both times! One of these times was not by choice, but it was in my Fac class so therefore was 1000x scarier, so I still am proud of myself.
Travaux Practiques was really fun today. We're talking about stereotypes and so we went around telling ethnic jokes, which were really funny. And then the professor handed out a list of American jokes/quotes mocking the French. My personal favorite was:
"Going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without your accordion." -- Norman Schwartzkopf
After class I headed into Centre Ville to get some absentee ballot paperwork done/faxed and then I FedExed one single, stupid piece of paper to BU. Do you know how much it costs to FedEx one single, lighter-than-air piece of paper to the U.S. from France? Not even overnight delivery? 44€50. Not okay. I am not happy at all. That is like 6 meals.
I ran into a girl from the program at a cafe and so sat down and had a delicious hot chocolate with her for a little bit, which was nice. And then Brittany walked by so I joined her for a little jaunt to Monoprix, where I bought a cheap pair of gloves (I could have bought 12 pairs of gloves with the money I gave to FedEx).
And now I am home, and am looking foward to a nice relaxing evening of homework and maybe some French films.
