Tu es charmante et mignonne....uhhh merci?

Right so today was pretty boring. I had my history class and we talked about the Greeks and the history of Greece. The professor was asking all these questions about Greece...and I know nothing about Greece except it's where democracy was formed and they had the first Olympic games there....seriously that's about it. She asked me if I knew the answer to who founded such and such and I just stared at her...I had no idea what she was talking about. On a happier note, class didn't seem that long today for some reason. Maybe because I wasn't really paying attention but whatever, I really don't care. Oh and then it's like 5 minutes to 5pm and she makes us do this vocab matching thing. I was like seriously lady...I'm starving, don't you want to get out of here too? We got out 10 minutes late. I wasn't very pleased.

This morning, well I guess it was this afternoon, someone knocked on the door. I opened it and it was some guy from the electric company and he was speaking French about a million miles an hour. He asked if I was the owner of the apartment and I told him no, she's on vacation and won't be back until Friday, thinking that it would make him leave because I really needed to eat lunch before going to school and it was already after 12. He's like oh okay do you have her electric bill? and I got it for him. I had a few copies for my visa application. He's like okay great can I come in? and I was like ummmm I guess. He asked where I was from and I told him Chicago. Every French person who has asked where I am from and when I reply, their response is either where? or ohhh....Barack Obama and sorry you didn't get the Olympics. It's the funniest thing. The French love Barack Obama. I really don't know why either...it's funny. Anyways, so I let him in and he's filling out this form and is like telling me all these deals and stuff and I'm just like dude, I really don't know anything about this stuff....just leave your information and I'll have her call you. He finally left and by that time it was already 1:10pm and I didn't have enough time to eat lunch....boo!

When I left class for the day and made my way to the metro, I was walking down the stairs and I was listening to my ipod. This guy coming up the stairs goes "tu es charmante et mignonne" (you're charming and cute) and I was just like ummmmm merci?? and then he left. Apparently I'm just so gorgeous. hahaha. It made me laugh. Then, even better, I get on the metro and after I changed trains I saw this guy reading a book. I saw the binding and it was in French. But, there was this white pawn on it, like a chess piece. And obviously I knew right away that he was reading Breaking Dawn. He was a middle aged man reading Breaking Dawn....I laughed out loud. Then it made me want my copy....but it's at home. The crazy French.

I have a meeting tomorrow with this lady so she can look over all my documents so I can finally get my Visa approved. It's in the morning so I have to go to bed early. I finished reading Eclipse so now I'm moving on to "A Year in the Merde" not gonna lie....I'm pretty excited. Oh and I also spent over 4 hours talking to microsoft yesterday trying to figure out what's wrong with my computer. The lady told me that some main file of mine is corrupted and the only way I can fix it is to get this Vista restore disk or something like that...well I don't have one of those so I have no idea what I'm going to do. I guess this file that's corrupted was created in 2006. I didn't even own my computer in 2006!!!! That's the crazy part. So did I have it when I got my computer?!?! ugh....I just should have gotten a mac. oh well....maybe one day I'll be able to afford one.

Right, I'm starving...I'm making dinner.

A bientot
