Okay so my computer won't connect to the internet. Or it will, but it won't open any websites. Which is cool. But it's getting fixed on Monday, or hopefully, so that should be good. I'm using the computers at Reid Hall right now. Which sucks because they are teeeny tiny.

Anyway, I had a rendez-vous with the doctor this morning because everyone who wants to be allowed to stay in France for longer thatn three months has to go and be checked for weird diseases etc. So I waited forever and ever with Jenny, the teaching assistant who went with me, and then they took an x-ray of my lungs. Which I now have in my bag. Because I'm going to hang it on the wall when I go home and scare the crap out of my French people.

Unfortunately I was late getting back to Reid Hall after my appointment so I missed going to Breakfast in America, a diner on rue des Ecoles which (obviously) serves typical American breakfasts. Zut. But I have a meeting with Mwantuali this afternoon to discuss classes for next semester.

Also, Leah and I do not get to go to Christmas Land because apparently there is no Marche de Noel on mondays, which is when we bought the tickets for because we're smart like that. Oops. Oh well, we'll find the small outposts of Christmas Land in Paris.

And now I think I need to go buy a panini because I'm starving to death.

gah! they made us do that in greece too! and we ALL had to go and wait EONS UPON EONS in the sketchy greek hospital WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE. who smokes in a hospital? crazy greeks, thats who, because they don't give a whatsit about health because they love smoking. then we had to go into this scary room alone while some sketchy dude touched us and took xrays and we had to be naked and it was SO WEIRD and the moral of the story is i do not have tuberculosis.
