How's this for a change? An unsolicited blogpost! Still having camera issues, so again with the no posting of pictures. Very sorry about that. I really do have a mountain of them, but they're not saved on my computer, because my poor old laptop is already short on memory as it is. Gonna look into getting an external hard-drive here, so it doesn't completely keel over on me before the semester's up
In other news, the past few weeks have been so completely chill. Very low-stress, which is wonderful, and a lot of fun. I've gone out a lot recently, as well. Last wednesday I went clubbing for a bit, thursday involved watching movies in a friend's room, friday was spent chilling with other friends, saturday I dyed my hair and went to an 80s party, and sunday I saw Slumdog Millionaire (which I now have a mild obsession with)!
Re: Hair dying. So I bought this dye from the main supermarket near me, called Auchan. According to the box, my hair was supposed to turn out a mahogany colour. It' really more a pure auburn. I was expecting a bit more brown in my hair, but nevertheless, I really like it. I've gotten several compliments on it, which is always fun.
My classes remain very low-key. The work isn't too difficult, and since my last post, one of my american friends has joined the class, so I'm not the sole anglophone. I still speak a LOT more French in this class than I did last semester. We had a bad habit of breaking into English whenever the teacher wasn't paying attention to us, and now if I want to chat with people, I *have* to use French. Plus one of the two teachers who works with us this semester makes you pay 20 cents every time she catches you speaking anything other than French.
Also, the fac is still on strike, and the administration is talking about just canceling the semester entirely. Again THIS WILL NOT AFFECT MY CLASSES AT ALL. This is all nice and capitalized for emphasis just for you Mom and Dad. My CILEC classes will continue to run normally. So that's my news and notes for now. I'll post again eventually!
