bleh (emma spoilers?)

i don't really feel like writing but let's see...

i watched an aspiring chef make gumbo and it turned out really good

i went swimming again but it just makes me hungry so i end up eating more so i dunno if it's really good for me or not

it's official my french is actually worse than it was in the states. even datif says he can tell it's gotten worse.

hopefully i'm just having a crummy day

highly unmotivated

i should go study japanese

i didn't yesterday

see that's just stupid

it's star wars day but i didn't go

probably won't till next week

or whatever

i dunno

dad will be here a week from saturday

tomorrow i have class

today i had class too

it was obnoxious cuz she dragged us all out to this church that turned out to be closed. it's annoying when we go on these tours but don't end up back at school. she just leaves us standing outside notre dame de travail. i went alllll the way back to my pool before having a snack and going to the mcjp

i read about honorifics in linguistics but it was pretty crazy because mostly it was just laying out how different people split it up...and all their respective vocabularies. i dunno. it was tedious and i was tired. it looks like it picks up later. we can only hope.

i'm reading emma by jane austen. i seem to remember my sister and her friend forming a club around the reading of this book. it's pretty good so far. you have to get used to the style. it's not austin is it? i never even look do i...v_v i'm to the part where who is it...someone suggests to her that maybe it is HER that mr. elton (elton right?) likes. you know i should really leave off talking about things if i can't remember what i'm supposed to be saying...but my point was that i had this feeling the whole time that that was how it would end up. things sure were different in the 17th century in england. haha but i guess they still are aren't they...

things are always different

except the songs they play on nova. i've had trouble with radio stations here because they really do play the same songs over and over. i think it's worse here than in the states. it seems that way anyhow. or maybe i'm just used to stations that play electronic or jazz to not have play lists like that...

but it's annoying.

makes me think i should start listening to the news cuz at least it's something new everyday

i should listen to the news in any case

so it goes

fat chance tho if i can't even get myself to study japanese

i dragged myself through a couple chapters of ukigumo tho so maybe that is good

not looking forward to class tomorrow v_v

*siiiiiiigh*

the timing for a semester long program is so lame because you start getting homesick right as you're leaving

not that this program is really typical

at least i hope not

usually i think you're supposed to IMPROVE the language you are "immersed in"

yeah i don't really need to start on this

just sucks

Sounds like you are having a crappy day. I take it they don't have tact in France? Or is Datif merely not a practitioner?
Not going to see Sith... That's bad sweetie, you are clearly feeling depressed. If you were here we would SO be going (and there is a decent possibility I'd take my lightsaber as well), and we'd be going to the performance that starts in two minutes time!
National Treasure isn't horrible, its fun! Kinda like the Da Vinci Code made into a film (except the Da Vinci code IS being made into a film, but that'll be a film called The Da Vinci Code and not National Treasure...I should stop talking now). It makes next door to no sense, and it will not make your life better in any way, but you will enjoy it.
And if you were to start listening to the news (and I'm not saying you should) you could maybe tell me what's going on over there with regards the referendum on the European Constitution. If the French vote 'No' then the whole thing is over before it begins.
Remember: Eurovision on Saturday! Happy times!

You should go to see Star wars 3. I thought it was pretty good. Er...better than the first 2.

And national treasure is pretty good. I thought it was interesting but the PG thing kinda ruined it...
