writing twice in one day you ask?
yes, but there are notable things I reply.

Exciting things:
-today kassie and Julie (another student at her house. from Colby. shocking.) went to school an hour early because classes started at 10 not 9 but Kassie found it all the way to my house from school. How exciting. And I discovered a trundle bed under mine. slumber party, asap.
-after classes, we went to la centre ville. We = Kassie, me, and then two other people: Louisa and Christian. Both German. Both delightful. Went intentionally with Louisa. Found Christian at the post office. He's in my class so I knew him vaguely. We asked him along. Good choice, kids.
- We walked around town and when it started pouring we found a little cafe on the square and I took a few shots of expresso (adrenaline rush = fini) for the afternoon class which was two hours. I know everyone who has ever gone to high school is laughing in my face - but two hours of France's approaches to society while heavily jet lagged?
- Class wasn't so bad! Still long as eff but I managed to pay attention pretty well for almost all of each section (they split it in hour slots) and even raised my hand. Talking. In the Big kid class. Even though it's unmercifully long, it's better than our academic French class, my personal opinion.
- Hung out and talked with Liz a little more (she's the third Clarkie - real good at French. got accepted at the Sorbonne and Clark couldn't find a way for it to work out academically for her. WOW, CLARK, REALLY?). Fun times. planning dates and fun.

Not stellar
-Our stipend checks (=money for food!) just arrived today. That's fine but the woman who is supposed to give them to us is a French woman who works at the University here. Yesterday we got an email from her. Let me paraphrase it . [email was in English] "Hi Girls, Are you here yet??" actually, no. that's all you need to know. UM YES WE ARRIVED. remember that time YOUR school started two days ago? wow. ok. give me my monies.
I'm sure she's a very nice person.

but overall, she was heavily outweighed. . c'est tout. byeee
