I was too tired to type anything up last night. It’s weird, we haven’t had as many big activities this week but I feel like I get more and more tired every day.
Yesterday (Thursday) we just had class with Bruno. We learned a lot about jobs and labor laws and women in French society. Women couldn’t vote over here until 1944, and they couldn’t have their own bank account until 1965! Weird… Right after class we got on a bus and went to have a picnic at the lake. It was fun! Anna and I had bought a baguette that morning and then put ham and cheese that we had in the fridge on it, delicious! We all just relaxed in the sun for a while after eating and then these three French guys came over to the group, because they saw Guillaume playing with the volleyball, and asked us if we wanted to play volleyball. We all played, it worked out that we had a perfect number to play 6 on 6, girls v boys, you can guess how that went…
We lost. After volleyball we tossed around a Frisbee, some played soccer, a couple twisted their ankles while playing soccer, and then we all relaxed some more. We left the beach around 5 and then came home to grab some money quick before going to Carrefour. Me and Anna bought a waterproof camera for canyoning and some sunscreen for the entire day that we will be spending at the beach in Marseille this weekend. We came home, had some dinner, and decided to stay in for the night. The sun drained us and we had no energy. Then Anna and I started talking and we decided to go to karaoke at Mojito for a little bit, we’ve been bums all week and decided to look nice and go! We got there and there was no karaoke, we were misinformed. Oh well. Me, Anna, and Jeffrey just walked around the town, it was a beautiful night! And then we ended up at O’Cardinals (surprise, surprise) and saw Miros, my roommate. We sat and chatted and then two other people from our group showed up-Jordan and Kris. We all talked and then Anna, Jeffrey, and I decided to try to get ice cream from Quickburger. We got there 10 min before it closed and the manager told us they were closed, he suggested a Kebab (those places are open late every night). They definitely don’t value customer service over here like in America. We just headed home and went to our own rooms for the night.
This morning I got a pain au chocolat in honor of Friday. Class went by pretty fast until about 11:30 and then it went by really slow. After class Anna and I came home to make ourselves lunch and then we went back up to school for our activity of the afternoon – Baseball (canyoning has been moved to Monday). There were only 6 of us including Guillaume so it was a little difficult. We played with the bat that Guillaume made from something that looked like wrapping paper tubes, and the ball was an old orange! After about three hits the bat was broken and then orange was smashed. So we moved on to the next game…kickball! That ended quickly as well and we just hit around a volleyball for a bit until we got too hot (it was in the 80s today!).
After that Anna and I went into town to make some more reservations for our Eurail passes. WE had the rest of our trips all written out and were ready to go, but when we got there the man (who is always working when we go to make reservations) informed us that we can’t make reservations for Italy. It’s impossible until at least July 1 because they’re changing the schedules or something. We got our other reservations made; I’m getting excited for traveling after classes are over! I still can’t believe that we’re leaving Chambéry in 3 weeks! It’s so crazy, this week FLEW by. I feel like it was just Monday, I hope the rest don’t go that quickly!
