Day 17: Pau, France

I am so sore it is ridiculous.  Basically everything between my neck and my toes is sore.  I am sticking to chess from now on.

This morning, I woke up early and went straight to Laura's dorm room.  We worked on literature homework.  Then, we went to our phonetics session, to discuss with the computer, the ideal pronunciation of French words.  While I was waiting, for Laura's individual session, I got a Kit Kat.  In France, they loook and taste almost the same, except the chocolate is definitely of a higher quality.

I prefere this packaging.

After, we worked on literature homework, and were able to finish by 13 h 00.  we went to lunch and then watched some episodes of Arrested Development.  It turns out that this show is really, really funny. After we went to class.  It was great.

Laura's present.

If you think my gift looks like an old umbrella handle, you are right.  I have been using it to roll out knots and massage my muscles.  It works really well for this.  I will probably try to keep this thing for a long time.  I have been using it pretty much constantly today.  There are muscles on my back that are so sore, they just feel like giant bruises.  Also, my ankles hurt--especially the one I sprained in high school.

After class was trumpet and dinner.  I am slowly getting better at trumpet.  I am hoping for a breakthrough day soon.  Hehe i know it's coming.  Just one more day...
