Alas, Finally finished one of my papers, just before the deadline!
My booty hurts from sitting so much today but I got a lot of work done and had a "class."
Tomorrow is a bank holiday here so everything will be closed. Thinking I've got some seriously overdue laundry and 2 more papers to write (in French!)
Got a BBQ birthday party to go to on Sunday, I'm pretty excited! This girl LOVES BBQ!
Can't believe that TODAY, I have exactly one month left in France...3 weeks in Amiens and one final week in Paris! It's crazy and I know it will go by so fast.
Well, really not too much today.
Oh
Classroom etiquette here, Americans get such a bad rap but we are seriously the most respectful, on-time students out of all the exchange and frenchies (in my opinion).
Most of the classes I've been in, all the other students constantly hold very audible conversations with each other while the professor talks and while other fellow students are trying to give reports (in French-which can be very difficult even without the talking). also, I would say that 95% of the time almost all the American students are on-time if not a bit early to class while the other students will stroll in 10 to 15 minutes late.
The Prof never says anything to the talkers but it drives me nuts. If I were in a U.S. classroom, I would be shsh-ing somebody, seriously! I paid to learn darn it! Not to hear you babble in the back of the class!
so, that's all for today.
Bisous,
R

Hey pretty lady, It is interesting to know that in etiquette Americans are pretty good. At least we have that because in Science, Math, and the Environment we are kinda behind the power curve, lol. You are not missing much here at home, the weather has been touch and go. One minute rainy the next sunny. One month to go huh? So what is next, are u gonna try and do it again or have you had your feel? In any case, it will be nice to be "where everybody knows your name...". I am sure that you are thoroughly missed, and want you to make sure that u get some peace of mind while you are there, come home refreshed!
