hate to be late!

This morning, much like the past few mornings when I have had to get up for work, I stayed in bed. I wasn't late to work, but I was later than usual due to leaving 10 minutes too late, missing the bus, and getting on a new bus that took much longer than I could have imagined! So I'm turning over a new leaf! I'm setting my alarm 10 minutes earlier!

I guess because I was a little off this morning, I forgot about the changes to my schedule (due to some kids going to water polo during the day) and was late to a few classes because I stayed in other classes too long. So some got extra long lessons today, like Sabine and Carole's classes, whereas I was late twice for Sophie's two. Oops! Besides that, I had a great morning. I had most classes do a pronunciation activity where person A read a line of images and person B had to remember the images to repeat them back. It was cute to hear so many little timid French accents saying "mittens (meettahns), scarf (scahf), boots (booots)."

After my lessons, I ate lunch with the teachers (much better this week, fish with rice.... may sound gross but it was delicious, cheese (3 types to choose from!), salad, and a kiwi!). All the teachers could talk about were the soldes! This was the first weekend of sales and everyone had on new clothes they bought, marked down 50%! So, yep, you guessed it, I went to the Porte des Alpes after school. I tried on some pants but have decided my hips are not French hips...and so things fit me weird. I did buy one shirt for only 9 euros.... and then picked up some delicious yogurt in glass jars on my way out!

Currently, I'm watching the Simpson's in French. It's quite a hoot. Their voices are very similar, although Marge sounds a little toooo manly and Bart sounds a little too girly. I figured out just a little while ago that I have tevo powers too!!! Woohoo! I can record.... other stuff in French. But, I gotta make sure I don't get distracted and go to bed too late! I'm turning over a new leaf!

Reste cool:)
