Well, I guess it's not so typical. My alarm clock refused to wake me up, once again. Fail. Missed 50 minutes of French. Fail. Slipped and fell in the shower. Fail. My landlord proceeded to enter just as I was about to walk out of the bathroom after showering. Fail. Paid 950 euros worth of rent. Fail. Overall, bad morning.
After French, Kat and I went to SNCF [a travel agency, I guess you can call it], picked up a carte 12-25, picked up my tickets for Saint Malo, and proceeded to Grenelle. Talked to Mathieu, the head of the film department [I think?] explained a situation, he let us take the camera out over Easter weekend. Success! Went to Amex. Wrote my Ethnography review for "Control Room," had a sandwich, headed to museum class. The museum was Musée de Quai Branly. Pretty cool. Modern and just really lacked any kind of French appeal. Made me feel like I was in the states again. Saw some traditional garb and figurines/statues, and left early. EXTREMELY early. Some people in my class show no interest in museums, but I do. I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon, but this chick was pushing me, so I left. Ugh. Never give in peer pressure. One rule in life. Had a coffee, had some cigarettes, headed to class.
In Ethnography, we watched some films, the first being Ihla de las Floras, I believe. Chaotic. I loved it. Second film was made by some guy...who was a guest speaker at our class.. don't know his name, nor the name of the film. Great film though. Moving. I was into it. Wanted to chat with him, he seemed awkward and my professor was with him, so I passed. I'm gonna regret this. It's okay. Anyhow, ran to Amex to find Sofia once again hyperventilating about something unimportant and Bree ignoring. Took the subway home. Took off my jacket today! It's beautiful outside. I never want to leave Paris if this weather keeps up.
Going to meet a girl I knew back in high school. Have to wake up at 5am tomorrow. I hope my alarm goes off this time. Pictures and Updates. As always.
