day 10 - piiiiiimps

today was my first day of class!!!

im trying to write more frequently, cause i know its a bother to have to read long ass blogs all the time... well, my attention span is short as fuh at least. i had to wake up today at the buttcrack of dawn (730) to catch the bus at 8 to be in ballan mire by 9 for my first class. I MADE IT!! wow, it was so hard though. i kept wanting to fall back asleep, and i came close to a couple times...

i didnt really do much at all today though. it was mostly just a day of observation, seeing the different classes and what level each class is at. the worst classes were the 9th graders (in france, middle school goes from 6th-9th grade). and the 6th graders were so fuckin precious and enthusiastic about everything!! they asked me all kinds of questions like where i was from, if i had a tv in my house what i was afraid of, when my birthday was... but they didnt know too much english and im not really allowed to speak to them in french. they all asked me if i knew french. the 9th graders asked me cause they wanted to know how much they could get away with saying to me... for that reason, i told them all i was 24. busters. they were actually pretty annoying though. but its a challenge, and im always up for that. but i think ill be able to influence the younger kids easier. on another not, elvis presley is also in the french curriculum... not sure why.

i was at school all day, from 9 till 4, and then i caught a ride from a french, french teacher. shes going to be my carpool ride for the year. her name is claire, shes real purty, young, nice.

tonight im going to PIMPS! haha, everytime i say it i have to say it like, "Piiiiiiiyimps!" it was originally going to be me, francisco, his girlfriend alexandra, and the greek girl eleni, but alexandra is exhausted (i should be too cause i got up so damn early, AND i have class at 8am tomorrow morning) but whatev... i want to go out, and ive set my mind on it already. so im waiting on eleni right now and then we're going to walk down the street there. hopefully its ladies free tonight. i dont want to pay a damn cent! man... i got so spoiled in atlanta. im talkin, "on the street all the taxis [were] showin me love cause i shine like a princess in the middle of thugs, and at the club all the bouncers recognize my face, so while you standin in line we walk right into the place!" frreal. its s'cool. imma establish that same status here. i need some tome though. this is only my first night going out.

so lets get this party started right!!
