Yesterday was pretty decent. Class was especially excruciating because our regular professor is away on business until next week, and the substitute just isn't as fun.
After class, I went to tutoring, which was fun. Ha-jeong's grandmother sent her some English Brain Quest cards (do you remember those?) and so we went through a bunch of them together. It was a pretty excellent tutoring session: Ha-jeong and I had lots of fun, You-Shin drew me a picture (of me), and the family gave me a bottle of new Beaujolais from the harvest festival.
Sam and I then went to Pasta Via for dinner, which was delicious.
Today has been alright. It's really cold and kind of unpleasant, but I only had class until 10h30 so that was good. Monica came over and we watched some television.
I'm going to tutoring in a little while, and I'm so excited because Dad's package of sour candy just arrived today! I was complaining to Ha-jeong about France's lack of bonbons acides a few weeks ago and it turns out she's never tried sour patch kids, which is just tragic. So. I now have a great package of classic, American, super sour candy. And some not so sour, but just excellent and non-European.
This weekend we are going to Strasbourg. I am not really sure how I feel about this trip. Okay, that's a lie--I'm not looking foward to it. I'll just come out and say it. Why, you ask? Because apparently there is a conference in town and so we are only to stay one night in the hotel. This would not be such a huge deal if it wasn't a 7 hour bus ride. Here's the schedule:
Friday:
7h15 -- leave Grenoble
12h00 -- lunch break in Colmar
15h00 -- wine tasting in Kientzheim
18h00 -- arrive in Strasbourg.
Saturday:
15h00 -- leave Strasbourg
22h00 -- get back to Grenoble
So. It should be interesting. But don't worry, I'll make the best of it.
