Place: In a spot of worriment.
Pardonnez-moi, s'il vous plaît, j'ai être très, très occupé. I am not joking. I have a test today (about Paris), a presentation tomorrow (in French about San Francisco), and a final on Friday (about and in French). Aussi, je suis allé à Meaux oú il y a un musée, basically in the middle of nowhere and it's oddly shaped you can walk under this area where there are giant holes when you look up et there's a map on the ground that you can see roads in. When you come up the road to cette zone, you can hear marching sounds and horses. Le Musée est pour le Première Guerre mondiale, so everything is about it. I took only trois photos but that is okay parce que je veux retourner au musée, parce que moins de deux heures n'est pas assez de temps. Also we had a grand dinner in Meaux and then we watched this beautiful, exquisite show with about four hundred volunteers in the pouring rain. Oh I had to buy a poncho because my silly raincoat didn't have a hood and people behind me kept rearranging it which was very frustrating but even though it was raining, I still enjoyed the show. Maybe I'll see another at Meaux?
Sunday, I went to a restaurant called Cafe du Commerce because it's on Rue du Commerce... that was a nice salade with lettuce, fried goat cheese, tomates then I had fish, which was so lovely and then creme bulee for dessert. Heavenly, simply heavenly. But both samedi and dimache dinners were very loud so on Monday, I found myself yelling at everyone, although I didn't mean to. Then lundi, I witnessed someone making a flan cake. It was coffee flavoured flan and chocolate cake with butterscotch syrup. Delicious. we also had gnocci and debated how to pronounce it. I also discovered that I like sausages from Alsace! Aussi, I like viennoise de chocolat and today I had two mini pain du chocolat from Secco although they said it was viennoise but unlike the ones at Paul, they weren't skinny but look like mini pain du chocolat. Je ne sais pas.
Today, One of my classmates said that French was difficile and that I was good in it. I corrected her by saying, "no, I can read and write French but I can't listen and speak it." Which is why I'm taking this class which I may be doing not as well as I wanted... mais c'est la vie, I suppose. Also, I'm wearing a night shirt because I got tired of the buttons on my plaid shirt. I will eat more sausages but I will make my noodle soup with leeks, potatoes and mushrooms and add them in after I cook the soup. Or I will do it on Wednesday when I feel horrible after my presentation. Oh and apparently thyme tea is good for your throat according to the sister.
I will have to do more laundry when I get to San Francisco. Je ne veux pas.
