"Oh, stuff and fluff!"

So this morning, we decided to walk to the market that is 5 km away (one way) to print photos since, according to the internet, there isn't a photo printing machine at the market that's a 5 minute walk away from our dorms.  It was only 2-3 degrees outside (that's like 35 degrees Fahrenheit)!  But we got some good exercise =)  The story gets better, I promise.  We came back here and went grocery shopping  at the nearby market so that we wouldn't have to carry our bags 5 km…and we found a photo printer.  So basically we walked 10 km in the freezing cold for no good reason.  At least we got a workout =)

Test results came in today!!!! I'll admit I was slightly nervous and conflicted: on one hand, I wanted to have done well; on the other hand, I didn't want to do too well.  This test determines what level of courses I will take while I'm here.  And not two nights ago, I had a dream where I went to the first day of school and learned that somehow they'd put me in the fluent speaker class.  So when I found the classroom the professor started talking rapid quick and I couldn’t understand a word she said.  Which is why I didn't want to do super duper well on the placement exam - I actually do want to pass =)  My thoughts after finding my name and level of placement: holy Batman, I'm in trouble.  I tested into the highest level.  Fortunately, I'm with one of the other Americans =)  We can persevere together and come out victorious!!!  And I may accidentally major in French instead of minor haha…who ever heard of someone accidentally majoring in something??  I guess there's a first for everything.

We also got our class schedules.  Best.  Schedule.  Ever.  I have 4 day weekends, and no class Monday morning.  So basically 4.5 day weekends.  Every week.  Which means I GET TO TRAVEL EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!  Long weekend in Bordeaux, here I come!!!!  =)

Now for the stupid American moment of the day…I had to buy sheets for my bed.  Accidentally bought 2 fitted sheets.  I didn't even know fitted sheets existed over here - I've never seen them before now!!  Oh well, c'est la vie =)
