Day 101: Pau, France

101 sounds about as weird to me as 100 did.  I just can't really believe it has been so long since I arrived.

Today was pretty good.  I only had an hour of class, in the morning, and we spent it learning the subjunctive, which is some verb conjugation that does something.  I don't really get it.  I just know that you take the third person plural and take of the -ent and then use the regular -er verb endings except for if it is first or second person plural and then you use the endings from the imparfait(some other conjugation).  Who comes up with this stuff?

At 11:00, I met my "Langue & Acte" class for a rehearsal.  We along with the other two theater classes gave a performance attended by many of the international students.  We rehearsed(with two long breaks) until 3:30 when the performance started.  It was really good we got that much extra rehearsal, because it took up until the very end to get everything decent.

Our teacher made us this really great apple cake for one of our breaks.  It was tres good.

 The actual performance went pretty well.  We were the very first group, so it was really nice to be done early.  Some people were really nervous, but I was, weirdly, not very nervous at all. 

Here's Timi and me waiting to perform.  Timi is a lawyer from Nigeria.

Erin and Aaron.  And also Betty.

After we performed there were quite a few other skits and performances.  The two theater classes combined did about a dozen sketches, usually with just 2 or 3 people each.  Some of them were funny, and entertaining.  Others were not as good.  Overall, it was a pretty entertaining show. 

This girl did a flamenco dance. 

Some funny skit.

After the show, I went home for dinner, and to practice.  My practice session went pretty well.  I am feeling a lot better after my days off.  Hopefully, I can continue to improve.  Dinner ended up not being until close to 9:00.  We had this stuff that was like meat loaf, but it was all vegetables.  It was really good.  I was going to go out, but by the time I finished dinner, it was kinda late. 

It is completely weird that tomorrow is the final day of school.  I am pretty much done with everything.  It is pretty hard to believe.  Only 6 days left in Pau...
