It's Thursday. Thursday is a good day I think.

I'm not really sure what I last talked about but I think i'll assume it was the first day of classes. As this week progressed it seemed that the profs continually got easier to understand. On Tuesday and Wednesday I have a different language prof than Mon and Fri and I think she's much cooler than the other woman. I also experience my first lab experience. We went into this room with like 30 cubicles that have headphones and a tape player (kind of.) We sat there and listened to this song for an hour to try and write down what we heard, which was interesting. I did alright I suppose.

The other morning on my way into town I wandered into Cezannes studio. It was really pretty but then I almost got locked in, which was pretty terrifying knowing that I'd have to explain why I was there in French, but the door opened and I left quickly.

Katy and I went to the travel agency to get tickets for Prague for winter break. bad news. A plane ticket is about 1000 euros and the trains won't get us there until 4 days after break starts and we'd have to come back 4 days later. So instead we're looking at going to Vienna with a girl for IAU who is really awesome. Her sister has an apartment there and from Vienna we may try to get to Prague or Amsterdam. Who knows.

Yesterday I tried to explain to this turkish guy why it's a bit sad that Cookie Monster doesn't say "c is for cookies and cookies are for me" anymore in french. he looked at me like "quoi?" I don't think he got it, but who understands sesame street anyways?

I have a pretty dumb cold that keeps me up at night. It's not cool.
