Ok, back to blogging! Haha sorry for the long pause between blogs...it's like all my professors realized simultaneously that there are only 3 weeks of school left and they haven't assigned any grades yet. So I have about a million exams next week (they were supposed to be this week, hence the gap between posts, but apparently in French this week actually translates to next week). I have to say, I'm so sick of this French school crap. When class is on the schedule from 9:00-11:00 and I show up at 9:00, I expect class to be from 9:00-11:00, not 10:15-12:00!!!! Ridiculous. No more, France. No more.
I did actually have a test already. However, this test was in the one class where the professor didn't actually tell us there would be a test. And, she didn't teach us ANYTHING that was on the test. I'm pretty sure I would've failed if it had been in English (it was a grammar test by the way). As it was, I got 11/20...epic fail. And the professor's all up at the front of the class "Oh don't worry about it, there will be more grades, blah blah blah..." WHAT DO YOU MEAN DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT??!?!?!?!?! I'VE NEVER MADE GRADES THIS LOW EVER!!! I don't want to take summer school because I failed a French grammar class that I was never taught!!!!
As for summer...summer school's actually looking like my best option haha. I've been rejected from all REU's so far :( I did deduce that I was high up on the waiting list for Johns Hopkins though, because it took them forever to send my rejection, which probably means they were waiting to see if those accepted could actually come. Or at least that's what I'm going to tell myself to make myself feel better about 10 rejections in a month haha =) There's always next year...
On the bright side, I'm packed and about to leave for Paris!!! =) I get to visit the wonderful Holka family this weekend. A lovely way to spend my pre-birthday weekend in my opinion. I am going to introduce them to the wonders of Reese's peanut butter cups =)
Speaking of introducing American stuff to Europeans....I got to introduce the concepts of guacamole and fajitas to a bunch of Europeans and Asians haha. They had no clue what they were or how to eat them, but they loved them =) It was a very nice dinner, lots of fun! I'm going to miss this when I have to go back...
And for those of you wondering how I procured Reese's in France (because if you know me, you know that if I had brought any Reese's when I first moved out here, they'd be long gone by now haha), I got a lovely care package for my birthday from my mom =) A movie, lots of Reese's (seriously, a ton of Reese's haha), and a few birthday cards from all the family! Apparently my mom couldn't decide which Reese's to buy me - pieces, normal, or bite sized - so she bought one of each =) Epic win. And I'm super excited to watch Under the Tuscan Sun...because I was just under the Tuscan sun a month ago!! =) Oh I miss Italy....Olive Garden will never be enough for me.
