Our fridge broke and we had to get them to give us a new one today. It was all short-circuty.
Took the bus out to Carrefour today, which is a shopping centre about half and hour out of town.
Totally worth it. I didn't need much in the way of food, as I still have STACKS (will probably not need to go food until I get home frm Taizé - whoo!). But I did buy a few essentials: chocolate, eggs, milk, yougurt, a Capitain Jack Sparrow air freshener, a thurmos and .... a little something for my brithday...
Yes, that would be "Orgueil & Préjugés" (Pride and Prejudice) and "Reviens-Moi" (Atonement) dvds - IN FRENCH
It's Capt'n Jack Sparrow... Savvy?
. They are Region 2, but I am trusting my little laptop can sort it out. (Rach, when you get over here, it's you, me and a movie night, got it?)I have class in an hour. Don't much feel like it. It's all overcast and I would much prefer to eat chocolate and watch my new French DVDs on my comfy bed beside a quiet fridge (no more "thu-thunk-thunk-thud...brrrrr"!), smelling my Pirates of the Carabbean-scented air. Oh, how lovely does that picture sound...
Ahh well, I have my "Introduction to French Literature" class (which is replacing the Friday afternoon class fo me - yay!)
So, me =
Monday: 1:30-3:30 Littérature Francaise
5-7 C.U.F.L.E. (i.e. French language learning for exchange students)
Tuesday: 8-10 TECEF (Techniques of Written French and Expression) (NOT EVERY WEEK)
10-12 Littérature Comparée (NOT EVERY WEEK)
5-7 Introduction to French Littérature
Wednesday

Thursday 9-11 Littérature Comparée
2-4 CUFLE
Friday 9-11 Littérature Francaise
Yay!
Well, everyone, that's me for the day.
Enjoy yourselves, and I'll go and et ready for uni!

And what could be better, pray tell, than a PIRATES AIR FRESHENER! Haha...bit of a contradiction through...the catch phrase should be 'smell like a pirate, and everyone will want you on the high seas!' - you need to put an 'ocean breeze' one beside it to keep Jack happy ;)
Oh dear. Clearly, my sense of humour has NOT improved with old age...
Sounds like a good week!
All my love
