You've Got Mail....hahaha just kidding!

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely hate the French postal system. They suck. My dad express mailed me my Windows 7 disk and a few other things. The shipping was so expensive but I was guaranteed to get the package by Wednesday. Well, it's Friday and I still don't have my package. GRRRRRR!!!!!! My mom called the company that's bringing the package and gave them my number so they could call me and tell me when they're coming. She then told me that they'd be calling today so I expected that I'd have my package sometime today. This morning at like 10 to 9 Norton started barking really loud because someone was knocking on the door. I tried to ignore it but he wouldn't stop. I got up and ran to the door hoping it was my package. It was a package, just not the package I was expecting. The package had mac n cheese, salt and vinegar chips, U of I things, 2 shirts, and peanut butter. I was so happy. I wanted to open up the peanut butter so bad but it's a small bottle so I don't want to waste it you know?

I've had such a horrible headache all day. I've taken aspirin for it but it won't go away. Mathilde went somewhere last night and I have no idea what time she got back. She didn't get up until 12:30 ish. I've been letting her use my computer because Renee's doesn't work and just like every other teenager on the face of the Earth, she had to check her facebook. It was funny watching her try to type stuff. She was like where's you e with the accent key? I was like, I don't have one of those. She's like oh.... We all had lunch together today. Mathilde made potatoes. They were really good. I think she was mocking me when she asked if I wanted ketchup with them because she grabbed the mayonnaise. But whatevs, I really don't care. We ate at 1ish when Renee came home and I still hadn't heard anything from the mail people. Renee and Mathilde went out after lunch and invited me with them but I stayed here to wait for my package.

They finally called at 2:30. The woman spoke English, thank god, and I asked her if someone was at the door and she goes, "oh no, it's not coming today" I was like WHAT?!?!?!?!?! I was so pissed. Then she's like well the earliest it can come is Monday. I was like MONDAY! what do you mean, can't you send it today? and she's like oh well it's too late now. I wanted to tell her, listen lady, maybe if you would have called me earlier in the day, I could of had my package by now. She's like well you can pick it up at our processing plant on Saturday but it's really far from you. I told her I had no way of getting there so I couldn't do that. So I'm stuck with waiting until Monday. I told her that I had class and I would be here until 1pm. She said that they would deliver it in the morning. I double checked and told her again that I have class and that I need the package by 1 on Monday. I think I was annoying her but I really could care less....they've been annoying me all week.

After I got off the phone with her I was ticked off I didn't want to do anything. So I watched Grey's Anatomy and talked to Mathilde for a while instead. She left and then I left shortly after to go to the ATM to get some money for tomorrow and to the Monoprix to pick something up for dinner. I made my spaghetti with sausage again. It was awesome, obvs. Mathilde just came back and I think she's leaving again to go to a movie with her friends. She said I could come with but the movie is in French and why would I pay close to 9 Euro to see a movie that I won't understand at all. Then she's like well I'm going to a party tomorrow for Halloween and it's with all my friends and you can come. I told her maybe because I just have a feeling that if I go, I'll have no one to talk to. Mathilde's friends will be there and my French isn't very good, especially around people my age because we don't speak the same French. Sometimes I feel really disconnected from the language because I know proper French and no one speaks proper French here. It's really annoying sometimes when I'm saying the correct word and who ever I'm talking to will have no idea what I'm saying.

We're going to the mall tomorrow, so that should be fun. I'm not in the greatest mood....if you haven't noticed. I'm angry at the French postal system, my package from home made me miss home and I just feel really disconnected with everything here. Hopefully next week will be better.

Bonsoir et a bientot
