Back to my life in France...OK, so I took that stupid test to see if I can get into a French class at the University of Paris. They give you your scores right away on the computer so you know how you did. I got 97 (out of 150) which means I can take a 1st year course if I want to. Which means I'll be in a class with a bunch of freshmen if I want to take a class. French freshmen? Are they any different than American freshmen? I guess I can take anything I want. Hey, what if I took an English class? That might be kind of hilarious! I'm gonna ask Madame Miraus if I can do that. She'll probably think I'm weird, but that's OK. The worst she can do is say no, which means I'll probably just end up taking another class at the center. Probably Econ, which I do not want to take, but I still have to take Micro if I want to get an International Business minor. How bad do I want that minor...?
I haven't even fully unpacked yet. I know! I'm so bad! My crap is all in a pile in my suitcase, or in a pile on my desk (school stuff) or in a pile on the floor (dirty clothes). I figure I can get some of my stuff rearranged this weekend.
Oh, I am soooooooo glad it's Friday! It's only been a week of class, but I'm already exhausted. Class times are so weird here. My grammar class meets four times a week (every day except Friday), Art history is my evening class Tuesday and Thursday, Monday and Wednesday I have Poli Sci and Friday I have Film. There's this really weird girl in my film class. I better not say much because she's like 2 computers away...she's not that bad. She might be cool. She's Finnish but she goes to Sarah Lawrence or something. Or Bryn Mawr? I can't remember. She's a film studies major. I don't get it. Don't they have film studies in Finland? Anyway, she is total Eurotrash. I know that's really mean, but she looks like an American trying to look like a European and she is European. Maybe if I went to Finland I'd understand.
Sarah is in one of my classes - Poli Sci. I guess that means I should start making more friends? There's one guy here who looks like Jason Stockridge. I'm pretty sure he's gay, but the resemblance is uncanny. I'm pretty sure my heart jumped when I saw him walk into the room the other day. He's tall and pretty built, and his hair is a great golden blond and he wears it in sort of an Elvis Presley bouffant style. His favorite color is purple (a total giveaway - not that I have gaydar or anything) and his name is Kevin. I will try to make friends or sneak pictures. He's from Missouri.
I can't really remember anyone else yet. I feel sort of stupid, because people I don't know know my name, but I think if I give it another few days, I'll be golden. I've never been really good with names. Oh, also, before I forget, one of the girls (Ellen?) looks exactly like Colin's ex-girlfriend. She's totally glam. I wonder what Missy's doing now? She was sort of way too good for Colin anyway (sorry, Colin! But you knew that!)

Well, I better quit and post again when I have real news.
