Day 20 & Day 21

Day 20 & Day 21

Thursday, April 9, 2009 & Friday, April 10, 2009: Since Thursday and Friday were basically insignificant, I decided to include them into one day.

Thursday, I needed to go to school early to print out my writing assignment. Well the students decided to strike again and so it was closed. Good thing I was not the only on that didn’t have it. I really like the writing class. Today we read a poem about people’s rights – fun things like the right to sleep late; it a creative writing class. And then we wrote our own.

I met with Katy and talked about my journal and then had four hours to kill. Zoe and I walked around the school a little and then we just sat in the courtyard on our computers – a sign we are not French. So then I had my oral grammar class. We learned all kinds of French slang and when and when not to use it. Really interesting, but she sped through it.

Thursday night, we went out. Melissa and I went to Lance’s then we went to the bar. We are trying to spend as little money at the bar as possible because we frequent it so often. We go to the grocery store after class and buy the 2E bottle of wine. Students have to economize.


So then we had early class on Friday morning. It was really boring – history. We watched another movie and he stopped it every five seconds and that’s when he lost me. The movie was black and white and silent as well. So then we listened to a song, which he kept stopping too. He handed out the lyrics and we went through it line by line. Really boring.

Then we had literature class. We talked about Marseille again. We decided not to go out because we had to get up early Saturday morning for our first excursion. I went to Lance’s to chill and was home and in bed by 11:30p.m. I’ve been in France for three weeks! Time really flies!
