Going through the motions

Although I have done quite a bit since returning from my Toussaint break (almost a month ago), it doesn’t really feel like it.

I go to class, hang out with friends, etc…but thinking back on my past month, nothing really interesting comes to mind. I’ve had presentations for school and assignments to do. Boring. So maybe this post will be about my realisations thus far.

Realisations:

-I’ve eaten way too many French Kebabs and Tacos (tacos in France are just meat and french-fries in a tortilla-weird but good).

-I’ve drunk a lot of coffee (be it vending machine coffees or little shots of espresso).

-When I run out of food (and am too lazy/busy to go buy groceries) my diet consists of rice.

- The dog of choice in Grenoble is the German Shepherd. It is a bizarre day when I do not see at least 1.

-It’s a good thing I bought a transportation pass as I’ve been approached by les “controlleurs” at least 15 times and would now be homeless due to the sheer ticket fee.

- Apparently when it snows people use umbrellas. I saw 4 people yesterday using umbrellas to keep the snow off. Thought that was interesting.

-Don’t try to go to a non-fast food restaurant for dinner before 7 pm. Ain’t gonna happen.

-It isn’t a law to pick up your dog poo (I knew this already), but it still doesn’t make me less mad every day when I play hopscotch trying to avoid it on the sidewalk: today, rather unsuccessfully.

-French people have a very difficult time discerning English accents. I’ve been asked more times if I was British rather than (North) American.

-No matter how often I sweep the floor of my room, it's always dirty! I don't know how. Witchcraft.

- Wearing a white tank top and drinking red wine at a party is like playing Russian roulette.  No matter how many times you play the game, there is only one inevitable result.

So thats all I can think about at the moment, I'm sure I've realised plenty of other things that just don't come to mind right now.

God I'm bored.
