Wet?

The day began with my routine stop at the fruit stand across from Lynda's to buy a nectarine. The woman there knows me now since I stop in all the time. I got on the tram and sat down, listening to my iPod and watching the scenery go by. Since my classes are so freaking boring I was dreading getting to the university. I think I could have sat on the tram all day with my music, just watching people and scenery go by. Then I got to school, whoopie!

So today was a funny day. I think everyone in my first annoying, boring and stupid class has just cracked with the realization of how awful the class really is. This morning we had to debate about stuff that we would take on a voyage around the world if we were an 18-year-old boy in the 19th century and if we were a 50-year-old man in the 19th century. Some of the things we chose were a plaid blanket (he's Irish), a lantern, a globe, a pocket watch, a flask of whiskey, and a pipe. We were just goofing off the whole 2 hours. Good times. Somewhere in that time this kid Josh from Boston University asked "Comment dit-on en français si on est toujours dans l'eau, et quelque chose comme ça?" (translation: what do you call it in french when someone is always in the water and stuff?) and before Jean Bevard the teacher could respond, the funny, cute Irish kid Chris blurted out in English "WET!?" At the time, it was seriously the funniest thing ever. It was even funnier because the teacher laughed, 90% of the class laughed, and then the poor Chinese students were just sitting there wondering what the hell had just happened; which of course caused me to laugh even harder.

After the first class, I went to civilization. Biggest waste of time ever. It's so boring, all I did was start writing my paper for the Michigan class that's due tomorrow. Libby and I had lunch at Au Bureau again and got some of those fabulous salads. We walked around a bit and treated ourselves to some sorbet, then I went home and started organizing my stuff for this weekend in Brussels and for my trip home next week.

Some of Lynda's friends are coming over tonight because they want to meet me - she apparently talks about me all the time and has only good things to say, so now everyone she knows is curious about the American girl. We're going to take pictures, so you'll finally get to see these mysterious people with whom I've been living. I have started reading Harry Potter book VI. So far I'm not that into it, but I know that will change :) I have a lot of stuff due tomorrow for Mireille's class - reading and paper, and some grammaire - yay.

That's about all I know for now, so until next time, ciao!
