J'ai...: I have...
After having passed the first week of school - alive for that matter- everything has finally come into place. All my professors were wonderful which always makes it a little bit easier to learn. Probably the most funniest part of the day was when I was in my oral comprehension class and a couple of mothers in the class were saying: J'ai deux enfants [jay-duz-enfants which means: I have two kids] but in French, if a word ends in a consonant and the next words begins in a vowel you connect those two words. so the way they were saying it sounded like they were saying I have twelve kids! [because what they sounded like was: J'ai douze enfants. It is quite difficult to understand but nonetheless] so it got to my turn to introduce myself so I said: My name is Grant, I'm 20 years old, and I do not have 12 kids!" So the professor asks how many kids I do have, so of course I say 0, but of course me being me, everyone was quiet after laughing at the first joke, I took the opportunity to say "atleast, I think.." then everyone started to die laughing - including the professor so that was really funny! Other than that - I decided to change my elective to learn about French culture rather than the business class. Unfortunetly, the class is just one step too much above my level. But that's ok! There's always next semester!
After school ended today, I went and deposited my first money into my "french" bank account, and I received my bank card as well! This is really good news because you can not do anything in France without a Bank Card. So I picked that up, then I ran over to the phone company, SFR, and finally bought my cell phone. This was even better news because this meant that I don't have to sit infront of the computer anymore to figure out my plans and then leave and hope everything falls into place. So this week has turned out to be really good!
