The sun set today at 16:58, also known as far too early. I guess I really am living up north.
Thanksgiving does not exist here, though I wish you all a very happy one with lots of turkey and stuffing (and pumpkin pie mmmmm). I'll be dressing up in my new shoes and black dress for the dinner prepared for us American kids who are used to stuffing our faces today.
In French class this afternoon, we had two tests: one a written exam where we had to tell (using the passé composé and the imparfait and the plus-que-parfait) how we've changed from who we were five years ago. That was interesting. The other test was a listening exercise, where we listend to some snippets of French radio and had to answer questions. That one I bombed. The sound quality was really crappy, thanks to it being radio and interviews with people over telephone on the radio. But on the up side, we got out of class early, and I had time to get a panini jambon before phonetiques.
I went shopping yesterday at H&M even though we have those in the States, but they cater to different (very different) tastes and the clothes here are much more my style than the H&Ms I've been to before. It's getting to be automatic, moving around the city and using the metro regularly. Speaking of, I need to get my passe navigo recharged for December (that's the metro pass, in case you didn't know).
I'm not homesick in the sense that I want to be home. It just feels weird not to be. I don't like missing out on things, and this time of year especially, I'm so accustomed to being around family.
