Is that French or Italian I Hear??

Well I had my other three classes today. It was a VERY VERY long day. I left the house at 8:10 and didn’t return until 6:20. My literature class seems like it will be a little dull – but maybe that will also translate into not too much work? One can hope! I think I will really learn a lot in my politics class about the EU – that is as long as I can understand my prof. He’s Italian, and French spoken with an Italian accent is about the most confusing thing my brain has ever heard!!! I felt like I was listening to someone speak in Italian except for the fact that a large percentage of the words sounded familiar. Hopefully I will grow accustomed to his accent and it won’t take quite so much brainpower to comprehend.

Other than that I spend my two two-hour breaks reading, mostly for class – a little of Harry Potter. I also got lunch at my favorite Boulangerie (a chicken panini) and I returned a couple of hours later for my first French éclair. It was coffee flavor and pretty yummy although a little too sweet and large for me.

I forgot to mention in my blog yesterday that I was once again asked for directions, this time in the shopping center in my suburb. I was wearing my bright yellow shirt, which is basically a large “I’m not French sign” considering everyone here wears neutral colors with the occasional shade of teal, eggplant or pale pink. Yet this lady stopped me and asked me where a store was. Luckily I had walked around the shopping center enough to have seen in before and was able to point her in the right direction. I should really get a start on my reading that needs to be done for Thursday, but I just don’t want to do anything tonight but read or watch a movie.
