The time limit on MegaVideo and the unreliable internet will be the death of me!

I had every intention of posting this Monday after class but the internet stopped working after dinner, and I wasn't very happy. Renee went on and on during dinner about how she bought a new dvd player so now I can watch my movies on the big, fancy tv instead of on my computer. So after dinner she turned on the tv and CNN International was still on from when I watched it this morning. She tried changing the channel but it was stuck on CNN. She started messing with buttons and started unplugging stuff and that's when everything started to go down hill. I tried playing one of my dvds but it wouldn't work and kept saying that there was a region error code. I guess in France, their dvds have a differnt region code than they do back home. I guess in America the code is 1 (because we're awesome) and in France it's like 3 or something. I had no idea there were certain codes for dvds....Turns out I can't watch any of my movies unless they are ones that I have burned because I'm assuming that must override the region code or something. That means I can watch like 6 movies on the tv, and they really aren't the ones I even like. After we messed around with the dvd player we tried to get the cable working, which resulted in Renee unplugging more cords. I went into my room and that's when I noticed that the internet didn't work. Renee didn't seem too concerned by it and it was almost 9 so she couldn't call the company about it. I, on the other hand, was freaking out. I went to bed Monday night before 12 because I had nothing to do....sad, I know.

Monday was just a crazy day in general. I had to get to school early to register for another class for next semester. Of course, when I got there at 12 the office was full of Asians for some reason, I guess they were trying to sign up for classes too...and it took me forever to get to see the woman that I needed to see. After we changed my schedule I met Katie at the cafeteria for lunch so we could talk about break. We are thinking of either going to Prague or Budapest...not sure which yet. We were supposed to have a test in my history class but the teacher totally forgot all about it and decided that it really didn't matter. We didn't take any tests at all the entire semester...seriously, easiest history class ever. After class I told the professor that I signed up for her class for next semester and when I told her what one it was she looked at me like I was an idiot and asked why I signed up again. I was confused, but then she explained that her class next semester is not a continuation of the class I am in right now, it's the exact same class. So great, I was currently signed up to take a class that I have already taken. Awesome.

Tuesday morning I woke up and figured the internet would work.....it didn't. I left early for school so I could re-register for the right history class and yet again the office was packed. It was nuts. The woman that I needed to talk to was busy so I had to talk to this other woman who usually doesn't deal with the American students so it took me and while to explain to her what I was trying to do. After I finally got my schedule sorted out I went to the computer lab so I could finally check my email, facbook, and all that jazz. I am so dependent on the internet for my entertainment it's pathetic. I really had no idea what to do that morning after breakfast because I didn't have the internet to read the news and stuff. After I used the computer I got lunch and then headed to class. Art class was really boring. Now that exams are over and we have nothing else to do in the class I find it really hard to focus and pay attention. But can you blame me? We were talking about Cezanne and I really don't think his paintings are very good or interesting.

Tuesday night when Renee came back from work I told her that the internet hasn't been working since the night before and she was like, what are you talking about? She turned on her computer and her internet was working just fine. I had a mini freak out because I thought it must be my computer. When I looked at what WiFi thing she was connected to it was one that we normally don't use. I couldn't log on to the one she was using because it was a free thing, but you had to have an account with some company, which I don't have. So I pretty much made her call the internet company because I seriously couldn't stand another night without it, I would probably lose my mind or something. So she called and since she has to buy a new cable box (which wont be ready for 5 days, meaning we'd have no internet) they told us to use this other WiFi thing which Renee already had to password to. So now the internet works...for now.

Last night I finally finished episode 2 of Dexter. I'd only been trying to finish it since Monday morning. I really hate the whole time limit thing on megavideo...it's so lame. Shows that are usually an hour long on tv are really only 43ish minutes but since Dexter is on Showtime and there are no commercials it's pretty close to an hour. For some reason the video always flips out on me and is like "you've watched 63 minutes of video today, please wait 40 minutes to continue watching." It so lies btw...there's no way I watched 63 minutes, the show isn't even that long....grrr!

Today was the last day of my cinema class. Michel wasn't even there for the class. I was pretty bummed because he's awesome. So we started watching this movie called "Les Amants" and it was Jean Moreau's first moive and she's like this famous French actress. For some reason there weren't subtitles so that kinda sucked. In the movies, Jean Moreau's character is having an affair with this guy who plays polo. But then, she cheats on him with this other guy who helped her when her car broke down. They had the funniest sex scene ever.....seriously, we all laughed the entire time. It was funny because a few scenes before that, Jean Moreau was taking her hair down and was wearing a nightgown....well she lifted up her arm and her armpit was SOOOOO HAIRY!!!!!! At first I thought it was an awkward shadow, but it so wasn't....it was like really bad! So during this sex scene, which so wasn't even racy, if that's what you were wondering, you could kinda see her armpit hair. Funniest thing ever.

The 2 random pictures I just got from my art professor. The first one is of me and Katie and our painting, "L'accordee de Village" by Jean-Baptise Geruze. A few seconds before the picture was taken I hit the frame with my had and thought for sure some crazy alarm was going to go off. The next picture is the group of students from the Institut Catholique (my school) who participated in Noctures de Louvre. I'm in the back row standing on my tippy-toes so I can be seen.

It's almost time for dinner....a bientot!
