Friday I got my bank card and saw the results of my language placement test, I'm in the DAEF group with a few other people from L&C. (DAEF is like second from the top, so that's good!)
Afterwards we had an academic meeting with Beth. She just explained how to register for classes, etc. So far it looks like I won't have any classes on Monday or Friday! Except for maybe a rock climbing class on Mondays or if I take a class at the Fac (faculté, the REAL French university).
Had a delicious Salmon dinner and then went to the theatre!
Hélène had bought a ticket to Vie et Destin a while ago but couldn't go so she gave me her ticket. The play was very intense... It was in Russian with French subtitles (or surtitres since they were above the stage) on a screen. So it gave me a headache looking up and reading the whole time while trying to keep track of what was going on, but I think maybe it was easier than if they had been speaking French because it would have been so fast. It was about a family in Russia during the holocaust. Very intense and powerful...
Overall I enjoyed it, but I'd like to go to a comedy next time :)
Afterwards I joined some friends from the group at Dubliner's, but we didn't stay long, they were tired and so was I.
Last night I had a dream about home and woke up suddenly and realized I was far far away in my room in France. :( It's a little daunting to think that I'll be so far away for so long, but I get busy and forget about it so it's not too bad...
I met my friend Maia at the mall and we did some shopping. There was a bookstore with books for 2€! I got a book by Antoine Saint-Exupéry (author of Le Petit Prince) and one by Pablo Neruda. We also got notebooks and pens for school. And a baguette! Très delicieuse! I can't wait until the weather gets warmer and I'll just sit outside with a baguette, cheese, and a book aaaaaall day. Especially Sundays since there's NOTHING to do on Sundays, except go to the movies.
After that we went downtown and walked around looking for a microphone so Maia can call her mom on Skype. Not much else except sitting outside a café until we headed home. And here I am!
We'll have dinner soon and then Maia and I are going to try to find Le Trolley Bus, Coline recommended it to me.
I have two more days this weekend to try to fill up so I don't get too lonely... Tomorrow we'll probably go check out the Médiathèque, a giant library next to the mall.
Oh! That reminds me... I need to get some bags there because at the grocery store you have to bring your own bags! We ended up carrying around all our school supplies in our purses today because they didn't give us bags... but I've seen people carrying around bags from the Médiathèque and they look pretty cool so I have to remember to get those.
Well, I hope everyone at home is doing well. I miss you all and love you!
À tout à l'heure!
