Yesterday we ate dinner at my apartment, which I hate doing, because its not very clean there. But we were about to eat, and this guy Mike was sitting in the kitchen, and all of the sudden he pulls a brown, soft-looking banana out of his pocket. He had a banana in his pocket all day long. Hahahaha. Yea, he does some other weird things that don't make any sense, but that has definitely been the best.
My roomate is still communist, but I don't know any other details. I tried to do some research on communism in France, but my search didn't come up with much. I'll have to try a bit harder. If all else fails, I think I will just ask her about it. Maybe I can find out what her name is in the process. Yep, good idea.
Here's another weird thing: all of my teachers wear their clothes multiple days in a row. I noticed it last week with my 'lingua' teacher, who wore the same shirt, pants and shoes on both Thursday and Friday. Then she wore the same dress and accessories yesterday and today, and so did our 'orale' teacher. And my 'cultura' teacher wore the same thing today that she wore last Thursday. So, I asked this Hungarian kid named Mate (in Italian, so it took a minute for us to communicate), and he said that people do things like that in Hungary as well. Or, at least I think thats what he said, or thats what he said, but he may not have understood my question. Anyway, thats just a funny cultural quirk that I thought was interesting. I think I will ask Luke or Harinder about it... whoever I see first.
Umbria Jazz continues to be amazing every night. Last night there were some awesome black ladies from Mississipi singing their little hearts out, and I guess after I went to bed there were some guys playing some blues that included a washboard and an accordion. I'm really sad that I missed them, but it sounds like they're playing again sometime this week.
Today we had all three of our classes. I understood everything that we talked about in our first class (lingua), but then the next four hours went by, and I'm not entirely sure what exactly we learned about. I think it had something to do with true love and this 80 year old man, and then marriage in Italy, with some questions about marriage in America, and then divorce and how long it takes to get divorced and then I think we may have talked about how much it costs to live in certain cities in different countries. Then in 'cultura' class, we learned about Perugia, but I don't really know what we were supposed to learn, because there was lots of new vocabulary. So yea, yikes bikes is probably the best way I can describe my day of learning/ not knowing whats going on. I think it was partially because we had to be at school at 8:00am, which just sucks because it takes at least 20 minutes to walk there.
Well, I think thats all for now. I'm sorry I don't have any more updates on French Communism/ my hardcore roommate. Someday, we will all know her name, and we will be much more content.
Ci vediamo... in a few months actually, so... ciao!
