I am sick again. Either my immune system is useless or simply unused to being continuously exposed to so many germs (le Métro, par example), but it sucks regardless of the reason. There's that funny sick feeling in my chest when I breath, and a nice rattling cough.
I had a class early this morning which required getting up and being out of the house by 8:25. Yes, I know, boo-hoo. But it's extraordinarily early for me and my other classes aren't til noon so this one's a shock to the system. It was the first session of French Society, and for the third time in my three first classes, I got a brief review of French history. I feel like I'm taking the same class over and over again. Oh well. And then I'm writing this in my cours practique because we're talking about articles and homestly, I learned this in elementary school. We also did a dictée (where the prof reads out a short text and we have to copy it down word for word, and every mistake of spelling, accents, etc. counts off) in which I made no mistakes whatsoever. I'm asking her tomorrow if I can move up to the harder class; this is ridiculously easy.
Then this afternoon at the AIFS office, there was a free wine and cheese tasting. Good wine, one from the Pays d'Oc and a bordeaux, plus cheese fresh from a fromagerie. I was planning on buying some socks and jeans (glamorous, right?) after class, but that fell through when I continued to feel like crap. There's a Gap and United Colors of Benetton nearby, and I really do need to make my way through them at some point in the near future. At the moment, I'm having to do laundry once a week, and that's expensive.
Mental note: I need to pay more attention to what I'm eating. For most meals, I have a panini (baguette and homemade jam for breakfast). Vegetables and fruit are needed, not just bread and pastries, pasta, meat, and cheese.
