A typical week.

This entry, as well, was originally in French. You can kind of tell that I got bored and lazy towards the end.

Okay. I will begin with a typical week:
Monday (lundi): Class at 9 h. Language and Grammar. Usually, I return to my place to make some lunch. I work a little, and maybe kick back or take a nap or something like that.
Tuesday (mardi): No classes! I sleep late, and eat lunch usually as my first meal because the French aren't big on breakfast and by the time I wake up I'm not in the mood to eat just bread like I usually do (I am going to miss 85 centime (cents) baguettes when I get back to the states... I can finish off a whole baguette in about two hours.). Depending on what I feel like doing, I might do some errands or visit some friends or something. I love Tuesdays.
Wednesday (mercredi): The worst! At 10 h, I have phonetics. That is the course with the professor who hates me. So basically I want to die for about 3 hours. Sometimes I play Sudoku on my computer while she isnt looking. Maybe thats why she hates me.... Anyway. I usually try to economise my Wednesdays by using my leftover baguette and going to Franprix (a supermarket) to buy some cheese and maybe fruit if I'm feeling lucky, and I'll make a sandwich. Those are always pretty good. That way I've now only paid about 3 E for breakfast AND lunch combined. THEN I use the leftover cheese to mix with my pasta for dinner later on... aren't you proud, mom? :) I spend time eating lunch and talking with friends in the courtyard at my university, which is beautiful. I fill up with coffee to keep myself awake until 5, because at 2 I have French history for 3 hours. I kind of had no choice but to talk myself into liking that class.
Thursday (jeudi): Grammar in the morning, until noon. Lunch, and maybe meeting up with a friend... or a nap... or a book... or something. Thursdays look very much like Mondays for me.
Friday (vendredi): Grammar in the morning, until noon. I get back to my dorm around 12:30 and eat lunch, although today I took myself out because all through grammar I was craving a salad. I hang out and do stuff like I am doing now (writing in my journal, editing photos, etc.) and relax until I go to Hillsong around 6:30. After, usually I go buy a crêpe from my crêpe vendeur friend. I think I talked about him earlier. If I didn't I will later.
Saturday (samedi): In general I try to spend a little time with my friends from the foyer (dorm) on Saturdays, though most know I am a late sleeper so depending on how late I get up and whatever else I have to do it may or may not fall into my schedule. I usually end up doing laundry at some point. Laundry in France is ridiculously expensive, by the way. Around 6 I go hang out with my friends from Hillsong until who knows when or whenever I have to be back to the dorm before I get locked out, whichever comes first.
Sunday (dimanche): I usually go to Leigh's for breakfast for what we call "connect group" (also a thing with Hillsong). We eat, have coffee, talk about random things both important and not, talk about the message at church on Friday, and pray. Its a great time because usually it is just girls and it is nice to have a small group here. Generally afterwards I end up studying because I've been putting it off all weekend. Pretty much just like home :)

Not all weeks are like this, but in general, thats what it looks like.
