Day 48: Pau, France

Today was a great day.  Do you know why? Because it was Vendredi, and Vendredis are awesome.  I was gonna wake up early to practice, but that ended when I pulled the blanket an inch away from my torso, allowing several cubic millimeters of frigid air to enter my cocoon.  I decided to go with the I'll-just-hide-from-the-cold-under-the-covers-until-I-am-about-to-be-late-and-I-have-no-option-but-to-get-up approach.  It worked extraordinarily well when coupled with the I'm-just-going-to-put-my-watch-a-few-minutes-ahead-and-I'll-forget-when-I'm-tired-in-the-morning method of time keeping.  I got to class with at least 5 minutes to spare. 

This morning, in class, I took a two hour long exam.  It was really tiring and difficult.  I'm sure I failed, and I will probably be deported for doing so poorly.  After lunch, I went back to class.  It was cool, because my teacher had decided we had already worked enough today, so we didn't do much.  She also probably understood that her class was the only thing between us(except me) and fall break.  In this class, I also found the worst candy EVER:

Don't worry, Natalie, I am bringing you some back.

It is unreal how awful these things taste.  It is like a mix of PlayDoh and fart.  I will probably bring a few bags back and share them with everybody.  You're welcome.

After class, I went home and did an hour warm up.  It was good.  Then, I went BACK TO CLASS.  Yeah... It was terrible.  However, it went fairly quickly, and Prof. Teacher seemed pretty pleased with my presentation.  I talked about the reign of Henri II and how he was a great innovator it the repression of protestants. 

After class, I practiced a lot.  It was awesome.  Still terrible.  I have opera all day tomorrow.
