Day 88: Pau, France

The French are dirty stinking cheaters.  You can't trust 'em.  More on that later.

Today was pretty good.  I woke up and did a little trumpet that went pretty well, and I had some breakfast and took a shower.  Class today went pretty well.  We learned something new which was exciting for me.  We discussed a new verb tense, plus-que-parfait.  This is really stupid.  It is basically an entire verb tense to explain things that happened before other stuff that already happened.  This led me to an important discovery.   The French are intentionally making their language harder than it needs to be, simply so they can watch people fail to speak it.  Maybe because the French military has never won any sort of war, battle, or engagement; or maybe because nobody really respect the French language any more, but the seem to be compensating for some other short coming by making French has difficult as they possibly can.  Whatever the reason, there is way to much "stuff" in the French language.  For lunch, I went to La Vague alone, but ran into Forrest and Angela, and then Rehana and Matt joined us well, and we had a pretty good lunch.

After class, I went home and practiced for a while, and had a pretty good session.  I sound terrible.  You would all LOL if you could hear me.  Unless you are my parents.  You guys would probably just be pissed that you spent like $4 million on trumpets and band and lessons and college and I sound like THIS.  Anyway I tried to go get crepes, and somehow, crepes turned into kebabs, which is what I had for dinner.

We had a nice sun set today.

I walked to get kebabs with Rehana, Erin, Courtney, and Jenny.  It is pretty chilly out, but it is not too bad.

We had relaly great kebab sandwiches and then went across the street to Le Garage.  Tonight was the Christmas Pub Quiz.  It was a quiz, about Christmas, in a pub.  We won a couple of prizes in the raffle part, but our team was not in the top three.  I'll tell you who WAS in the top 3.  FRENCH PEOPLE.  That's right.  French people.  Probably the same French people who realized we were American, and probably knew more about US pop culture than them, so why not copy our answers? It's cool.  I'm not mad.  It was actually a really fun night, and we all had a great time.
