This morning I had to wake up for a doctor's appointment. We all had to go for visa stuff. They wanted to make sure that we don't have spreadable diseases to pass along, etc. We hopped on a bus to go there and got there a little early. None of the people there spoke English.
First they took our height and weight. For the height she asked me if it sounded right, and I was like, we use different units in the United States, but I didn't do a very good job explaining. Then for the eye exam, she pointed to the line and I started to read the whole line (which at about 9:30 in the morning is hard in French since a lot of the letters are pronounced opposite for example the letter "i" is pronounced "ee"). Then she gave me a look, and looked at the other person working with her and then just had me read one letter. After that was done, we had an x-ray and then we were done. The same doctor asked me about three or four times if I smoked.
The rest of the day transpired uneventfully. Our classes had been moved to later in the day because almost everyone - except for the returning students - had doctor's appointments in the morning during classes. The weather was gorgeous. I went home and changed out of my 3 layers of clothes that I had put on this morning and wore just a sweater. Yes, it was that nice. However, Michel was worried that my neck/throat would be cold. I reassured him that it was nice out!
I had art history class, then finalized and submitted my OPD application.
Now I will be headed to dinner in about a half hour and then spending the night at Mirel's house. We are going to have a little study soirée at her house tonight and then maybe watch a movie after an intense night of studying. Our midterms are next week. Lucky for me, I only have 4 because of my class at the University: 1 on Tuesday, 2 on Wednesday, and 1 on Friday.
Bises.
