more procrastinating

so it is 1130pm and i have 4 exams tomorrow, i might have just started studying an hour ago. yeah i did. and now i am doing this. but i was just going through all of my papers from langue écrit and i realized exactly how much we actually did this semester. yeah i might not have done much work outside of class, and i might have skipped some, but even with that, we did a lot. i am going to miss mme loung and her crazy class and ridic worksheets. oh well, im sad i will be leaving soon, it still hasnt hit me as real that this is all going to be over. while i was going through my millions of worksheets i was remembering doing them and what went on in class and it seems like yesterday or last week. craziness. i really did learn a lot this semester and if i had tried harder, might have learned more. but it has been a good semester and i am very glad that i came. i have had a lot of interesting expereinces, seen many different countries, and met a lot of really cool people. it was awesome. hope my exams go ok....c'mon 10 out of 20!!!!

MAKE MY DAMN CHANGE!!!!!

frenchies hate making change for bills. no matter what. its ridic. i was in the grocery store and bought something for around 2,50 euro. i didnt feel like finding change, so i gave her a 10 euro bill. she was like do you have change? and i responded no, she was like, not even a little, and i was like no (i mean i did but i wanted change bitch!) and so she made a gross face and was like "ça commence mal, eh?" shut up and make my damn change woman. they absoulutley hate it, ive never seen people more wierd about it. oh that and you putting money directly into their hands, they hate that too, u have to put it on the counter first, and they will avoid putting money into your hand like the black death.

christine just told me that the lady at the cafeteria at the university tried to give her back a 2 euro coin once when she paind for her 2,50 euro croissant, because she said it was dirty, and wanted to know if christine had a cleaner coin. hahahahahahah wtf

DANIEL IS HERE!!!!

so i picked daniel up from the airport yesterday. i walked there from school, longest walk ever when i was all nervous and stuff. so i got there and was waiting and waiting and waiting (he took forever to come out). and i was all super nervous haha cause we havent seen each other in like 2.5 months. so anyway, he came out of the customs place and we hugged. then they found out he had cocaine in his bag, so he had to be held for questioning. and he was arrested and it was a mess. ok just kidding. so i met him and then asked him if he wanted to walk or take a bus. he said walk, so we did. and he wouldnt let me carry anything, and now he is sore from all the walking (sooooo american haha). we checked into our hotel, i started in french and the one girl kept talking in french, but then somehow we got switched to english :( probably when i said "shit!" cause i didnt have my passport and had to go get it from claire's. our hotel was really nice.

we had dinner here at claire's. it was good, claire was nice to daniel and in a really good mood. one of the english kids that was here had to go to the hospital cause he had food poisoning or something since the day before. kind of a shitty end to his stay in Nice, i dont know where he got it from.

i took daniel all around the city. now we are chillin at my place waiting for it to be time to catch our train to Paris!!!! should be a very interesting adventure, im super pumped!!!! its going to be awesome

weahter

uummmm...it just hailed? wtf. it was like a hurricane this morning. then it got all pretty and sunny. then right as i walked the 30 minutes to the stores, it poured the whole way there and back, and now it is hailing. i dont get it. but i hope tomorrow is nice, cause i am walking to the airport to meet daniel!!!!!!! super excited!!!

christines 2nd pimple....EVER

big news- my roommate got her first pimple over the weekend. ok she says maybe her second. i wish i was just getting the second pimple of my life. i dont think i have seen someone freak out so much over one pimple before. hahaha sorry christine, i had to say it, gotta remember moments like this forever. <3 her dad just told her her new glasses look nerdy haha, but he wears 80s glasses and his hobby is studying haha.

c'est pour les jeunes

the weather today was amazing! i went to the beach today before class. just went by myself and read a little while poss getting a tan. the rock beaches are pretty cool because i dont get covered in sand, and neither does anything that i have with me. but it kinda sucks when i have rocks jabbing into my back haha. ups and downs of life i suppose. it is a pretty relaxing life, i never have hw to worry about.

ensuite i met nathalie and stephan to walk to class. omg the colline is killer when it is warm and i got sweaty. in class, i daydreamed. we never do much of anything. during the second half of class i got some written and reading comprehension stuff back. my prof thinks i will do fine on the harder exam, the certificate pratique, which i need to take to get credit for my minor. then we were doing some worksheets and i was lazy and really didnt feel like doing them. its hard to get back into the swing of never doing anything after having a 4 day weekend of also not doing anything hahahahaha. so i was just sitting there and Mme loung came over and was like "oh erin you look tired. if you are tired, its ok you dont have to do the work. you are almost done anyway. you can do it thursday if you want." she was totally serious haha. so i just chilled and talked to people. i probably wont go to class on thursday.

me and christine went over to jean medecin and into fnac (the french best buy pretty much) and i bought the third book of twilight, "hésitation"!!!!! i had to go ask the lady if they had anymore because the third one wasnt on the shelf with all of the "hits". guess the rest of Nice is on the 3rd book too. so i went and asked and she was likeee "eehhh en français?" and i was like f is my french really that bad? so i told her yes and she seemed suprised haha, and then told me that it was in the section "pour les jeunes" behind the section of adult books with the green sign. so i read kids books, whatevz, i do what i want...and yeah its in french dammit. im super cool. i gotta watch the movie soon. im totally hooked. then i bought some clothes

claire called later and she said she was gonna be late, so we should achetons some pizza. went to the little van on the corner a few blocks up and got some. its sooo good. ate pretty much all of it. i got a thonina pizza, with fromage, tomate, thon, et origin or something. the english translation under it was pretty good "cheese, tomato, tunny, oregano". tunny hahaha made me laugh ok, tunny instead of tuna. i love all the attempts at english signs around here : "open all the days", "tunny", "lady night" "open non-stop" (which i would take to mean open 24/7, but then their hours are like 11 to 4, but maybe that is just me). the best was the suggestions sheet that we had at the campsite, i wish i had written it down, our suggestion was to rewrite their english translation. they should probably just do it in french, we would have understood it better. k im done for today, gotta go finish planning out how to get to and from airports over break.

3 days till daniel is here!!!
