Day 27: Bon weekend! / Have a good weekend!

Happy Friday!

I woke up this morning thinking I had class at 930. I rushed to shower and get ready in time for class at 930. I got to school at 925, just as the rain started to get heavier. I walked up to the library to drop my stuff off and head to class. Walked down to class, sat down, looked around, and there were people who I weren't in the class I thought I was in. I turned to my friend next to me and said, "What class is this?" She said, "Translation." -- Whoops, wrong class! :-) That's the first time that's happened in awhile.

Then I actually had class from 11-12:30 - Art History. We were supposed to go to a museum for part of class, but because of the rain we canceled it. Had class for the hour and a half and was done for the day.

Sat down, ate a quick lunch and headed over to the Université d'Avignon to figure out which class to take starting next week. I had been told to ask at the secretary's office if there was a paper copy I could have. So I did, and the woman told me that because the schedule changes so frequently, they don't bother having a paper copy because it changes too much. So I spent what felt like hours writing down which Literature classes that looked remotely interesting, fit into my schedule. I worked up a sweat. It was a very stressful and frustrating situation. Needless to say, I am making another trip back with a friend on Monday to re-check the schedule, see if she can help be better understand it, and see if they have a paper copy yet.

Met up with some friends around 17:15 to hang out before dinner. I got hungry so we all went and bought kebabs - roll up sandwiches with some kind of shaved meat, french fries, lettuce, tomatoes, and ketchup. Yum!!! Returned home for dinner and had salad, pizza, and a pasta called a "demi lune" (half moon) because of it's shape - it was filled with something, kind of like ravioli, and I put pesto on it. I asked Claudie and Michel where the gelato store was. I've been dying to find it and couldn't. I also told them that I was headed to Carpentras tomorrow and they didn't know why the program would have something in Carpentras, as there is very little to do there - only a few cafés. They also asked me what is the difference between lounges and bars. Apparently it is now the fashion/popular thing to do to name clubs/bars "________ Lounge".

Started watching this movie with Claudie and Michel about this guy who lived in the south of France and got transferred for his job so had to commute to and from the north of France every week (he stayed there during the week). It was really funny. Part way through I left to go meet up with some friends in Place Pie. One of my friends had a friend die recently back home in a skiing accident and today was his funeral service, so we were keeping her busy and distracted.

So tomorrow I'm headed to Carpentras!!!

À bientôt.
