Hooray for snow! My first two classes were cancelled because of the weather =) And I finally found a class to replace the phantom class! Greek mythology woohoo haha. The professor started writing in Greek on the board…and I was suddenly afraid I was in the wrong class, or that Greek was a prerequisite since Europeans, for the most part, speak at least two languages if not more. Fortunately she then translated it into French for us, so everything was okay. I don't want to learn a new language haha! Especially with a new alphabet! Although I did get kind of excited because I recognized the letters from chemistry, physics, and calculus =) Yay nerds haha!
I feel I must make a disclaimer about my blog posts since I've gotten some comments, particularly from my parents haha: I don't drink all the time here. And when I do drink, I definitely don't get drunk - I'm always perfectly aware of my surroundings and in complete control of my actions. Most of the time, the alcohol references in my blog entries are jokes. Only if I explicitly say I drank some specific drink and liked it did I actually drink that night. I'm kidding for the rest of them. Promise =) I will say though, on the topic of alcohol, my friend and I really wanted to buy some Bailey's today (never mind the fact that it was 9:45 in the morning when we were shopping haha) because it came with Lindor truffles :) Why buy the candy when you can get it for free with a bottle of alcohol?? Maybe after I move I'll buy a bottle…we'll see. I'll already be buying alcohol that night: bribing people to help me move with wine, cheese, and baguettes! If it's super cold, which it will be, hot tea and Bailey's might be more appropriate haha.
Speaking of hot tea, drinking hot tea is not an option here. It's a medicinal requirement to treat the frostbite you get after walking outside to class or when waking up in the morning after a super cold night (still no heat…despite the fact that this is going to be one of the worst winters Europe has had in decades…way to go France haha). It's the only way to stay warm in this frozen tundra. That and lots of blankets! Seriously, I'm drinking tea about as fast as I'm making carbon dioxide (yay chemistry! Haha). You would think a hot shower would help…but there has to be hot water in order to take a hot shower. And believe me, cold showers when there's snow on the ground outside and no heat inside are miserable. I'm hoping I'll feel my fingers and toes again in March or April =)
