So the past few days have been crazy and it’s so hard to update this without having internet at our apartments. A couple people have looked into it and it’s just not going to be worth it to get it for the next 5 weeks.
Tuesday was good. Me and Anna got up early and went to the market before class. Everyone who we walked past said “bonjour!” to us, it was seriously like that song in Beauty and the Beast when everyone says “bonjour” to Belle. Too fun :-)
We had class with our grammar instructor. She's really nice, and we didn't really do grammar today. We just talked about something interesting about ourselves, that took a while because there are 16 of us and she would politely correct us along the way but it was fun. My interesting thing was that there's a pizza shop named after my family, and opened by my family, in NC. There are like 5 or 6 people in the program from NC, it's weird.
Then we had lunch in the cafeteria again, not too bad, and it’s only 2,90 Euros. We were supposed to go to the lake to play volleyball but then it started raining as we were waiting for the bus so we decided to postpone it until yesterday. Instead some of the girls went shopping. I bought a couple of things – a dress, a shirt, a necklace, and some other little things. It’s weird when shopping for clothes here, at a lot of places they don’t have actual sizes on them and they’re just designed to expand with the person wearing them. So the dress that I bought looks good and fits, but someone who’s a size 2 could also buy the exact same dress and have it fit them differently…The shirt that I bought in Lyon was the same way…
After shopping we headed home to make dinner. Jeffery came over again and brought his laptop with internet access from his French roommate. We made grilled cheese with the cheese we bought from the cheese factory and then salad to go with it. Yummm, I actually think we’re making it again today or tomorrow because the cheese is only good for about a week after buying it and we bought it on Sunday..
Yesterday was good too! Class again with the grammar prof. We started with a worksheet, a little bit of a struggle seeing as I haven’t taken a French class in 2 years! Me and Anna bought a sandwich in town for us to share. It was the same price as lunch at the school (but half, because we split it) and the menu at school just didn't sound very good today. Then we just walked around, stopped at a "tabac" and bought a packet of tickets for the bus (7,50 for 10 or just 1,10 every time we ride the bus). Then we all met up at 2:15 to go to the lake for some volleyball. It was fun! We played frisbee for a while because a bunch of French people were playing volleyball but the FINALLY stopped later so we got to play. Oh my gosh, on the bus on the way to the lake this man started talking to us. He was from Italy and his name is Mario!!! I had to hold in the laughter. Then we made dinner together and hung out for a while. Then at 10 we met to go out to Salsa dance because it was one of the girls’ 21st birthday. It was fun, a place called Mojito’s. I didn’t stay long, me and three of the others walked back at 11:30, we had class this morning!
Well this has been long enough, I’ll write about today some other time. France is still great, I’m still loving it!
