CHEVEUX!!

HAIR!! This morning je me suis levée à 6h45 in order to be at l'université by 8h00. We took our class placement test today - listening, reading and oral. Not totally sure how I did, but I was about on par with the other 60% of the Americans who didn't even finish the test. There was a listening comprehension part where a guy said some words or phrases and we had to choose from multiple choice responses which one he said. One of the words was cheveux - hair. He said it very excitedly and loudly, and I couldn't help but crack up. I started to think about how ridiculous such a test would be if it were given in English. I mean, what if some dude on a recording yelled HAIR! in the middle of a listening comprehension exam? Needless to say, it was funny.

Angelina, Amanda and I went to the grocery store again today and bought wheat bread, green beans, nectarines, and of course, Snickers ice cream bars. We went to their house again and made the répas. It felt good to eat green vegetables and grain!! Angelina and I then took a nap, while Amanda had to go to class.

Our class today was at some sort of weird museum that was actually just more of an exhibition. It was about the mountain people of the Alps and the birth of skiing. Kind of uninteresting, but whatever.

Tonight I am pretty sure we're going out - weather permitting. It's Independence Day, and we're a bunch of Americans in a foreign land. I think une boum is in order (that's a celebration for all of you American-talk folk). Speaking of which, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! Watch some cool fireworks for me, grill some burgers, and drink some beer - or whatever it is you drink on the 4th of July. I'll be sporting the red, white and blue tonight! So that's about all for now... Pictures tomorrow, I haven't got the time today. Later!
