Day 25 & 26

Day 25 & Day 26:

Tuesday, April 14, 2009: Today we went to school to find that the students had decided to continue the strike. They had blocked all the entrances – a big fire hazard. Christophe made us wait in the courtyard while he spoke with administrators about what was the safest way for us to enter the building and have class.

So we finally entered and had class. Then we had history class again. Afterwards, we had a two-hour lunch break. I got some much needed internet time and I Skyped with my Dad. We went back to literature class to discuss Balzac.

After class, I went home to read and do some homework. John brought a Chinese foreign exchange student to eat with us. It was a little awkward. Afterwards, they smoked a pack of cigarettes on the terrace and I went to my room for more homework. The day was fairly insignificant.


Wednesday, April 15, 2009: Today we had grammar class because we didn’t have it on Monday. Afterwards, Shawna, Melissa, Lance, and I went to the internet to print a paper for the next day. I wrote it on my computer and emailed it to myself but then it wouldn’t open on the computer here for me to print out because I have the most recent version of Microsoft Word and they do not.

After that, we went to the bookstore to buy books for literature. I didn’t need to buy them because I already found them in my room from the girl that lived here last year. Then we walked to the island in the Rhone and had lunch at the restaurant there. It was good but we ate outside and the Mistral was blowing so it was really chilly. Afterwards, we just walked back to Lance’s for more Golf.

It was time for dinner. Bernard came back from Paris but Jacqueline stayed because the baby was sick and her parents needed to work so Jacqueline took care of her. After dinner, I did homework and went to bed.
