First Day of School!!!

I was quite excited this morning cos school is starting!!! Woke up at 730am... which is even earlier than in Singapore and walked to the restaurant. i was quite glad to see the Columbian and Miguel cos they are familiar... its funny how humans are seriously creatures of habit. In foreign land, once strangers meet, you tend to stick with each other for dear life.

Yeah so anyway, i forgot to take picture of the breakfast but it wasnt anything spectcular. Just bread, cheese, butter, jam, yoghurt and we can just press watever we want for drinks. I later realised that the rest of the gang are already eating together so we joined them too. After, we walked to the classroom for our first class.... well it wasnt actually a class... IT WAS A FREAKING TEST!! so that they can put us into different classes (actually only 2). There's a written and oral test. So of cos me, being the gan jiong spider, was semi freaking out. Cos i havent been taking french for the past 7 months and i didnt do revision of any kind before coming.... All i said was... "oh god please dun let my memory fail me"

And of cos it did... i forgot the most basic conjugation for present tense(!!!) and the best i could remember was passe compose (not even l'imparfait).... but i mean i crapped my way thru the test, hoping for the best. I mean even if i get posted to the lousier class i dun mind too, its a good chance for me to refresh anw.

After the test (ard 10am) we had break till 130pm so we all thought of going to do get student card. or at least thats what we suppose was supposed to happen. Th french administration, as usual, blur like fuck.... they were like "who are you pple?" and we were like "we are exchnage students and we want to collect out student card" and they were all like "d'accord, j'arrive tout suite" which mean i will be right back..... den one check with another, and another and another about what to do with us.... seriously i wanted to slap them in the fucking faces. Apparently the person in charge of the 3rd years is not around... i mean if you know students are coming, why the hell do u wanna take leave on that day right??? so irresponsible.

Luckily i am in my 4th year. so i could do (yeah it wasnt done yet) my student card.... take digital photo, fill some forms and was told to go pay 189 euros for my social security shit stuff before collecting. So by the time i finished all these it was already 12plus and the place i was supposed to go pay the money was closed for lunch already (!!) and wudnt be opened till 1pm and it closes for the day at 3pm. like wat the shit, might as well dun work la seriously.

Anyway this is what we ate for lunch.... quite good right... at first i tot we need to pay but we didnt. The german guy said "hey as long as i get to eat i dun care." which is quite true actually. But i think the bill will come with the monthly residence bill la... so yeah. its some beef thingy (i think) with long beans and super dry rice and some lasagne thingy (i think... i seriously duno what i am eating), bread, fromage and apricots!! it taste better than it looks actually. MY FIRST decent meal in days.

By the time we finish our meal there was no time to go the money. so we HOPED class wud finish before 3pm.... the prof was super nice and the language course went quite well... but of cos it ended at 330pm. so no student card and no personal internet access for today. So disappointing. but at least i got my restaurant card.... and i will be meeting derek to help me open bank acct on thursday afternoon since thats my only free time.

Anyway this is dinner,,,, some pork chop thingy with peas and potato, a pastry, some foie gras looking thing and yoghurt... so all is good. i am eating well. just need to settle ALLLLLL my admin things den i will rest in peace... literally. Ok now for homework!!!!
