Nope, Still Cold.

What has happened in between Monday and Wednesday? Answer: not much.

Remember when I embarrassed myself by confusing the sides of the bise? Well the other day when the same lady came back she goes,"Today we hug, yes?" I laughed and then we hugged. CULTURALLY AWARE! Err... something like that.

Everyone at school is getting sick. I haven't gone out or stayed up late so I thought the devil would skip over me for a cold. But nope, just throughout today alone my throat has gotten tickley and I've started coughing... NOOOO. So I went and found french Airbourne essentially and I eat about 2 oranges a day. Fingers crossed I can ward it off. Early bed for me tonight!

In other news, my teacher--the one who is super linguisticsy--told me that when I was reading out loud that the errors I made were stupid for my level and that I clearly wasn't paying enough attention. But... but...! Unfair. There goes that idea of needing to be humble again so I can get better. Sigh.

The other day I read Elle à Table for my homework. The cooking version of Elle. So that was fun and then I told the class all about how the French are admiring Miami's cuisine. They reported on news and politics, PUH-LEASE, I reported on food. I was going to tell them all about tea and the uses for it and stuff, but I figured Miami might be more interesting for them.

For lunch today, along with my healthy dairy products, I ate rice cakes with Nutella on them. I look so funny sitting in the cave for lunch, taking out an entire jar of Nutella from my lunch bag and then scooping it onto my rice cakes. Whatever, haters gonna hate, and I'm gonna enjoy my inexpensive lunches and Nutella.

Today, I thought I got on the wrong bus, but luckily it took me home, it just went a different route. And thank god, because it's still cold. 20 when I left this morning and 34 when I came home. Unacceptable. It's supposed to be cold until next Tuesday, ugh. My immune system can't hold off that long! I've been wearing tights and leggings under my jeans for about two weeks straight now and generally three sweaters a day. The IAU buildings don't understand the concept of heat, so we wear gloves, coats, and scarves in class. Cheers. Also today, I learned that someone is coming to the house to fix the heaters tomorrow. This means that the heaters have been broken--warm, but not functioning fully. Great. Excuse me while I wear three layers of clothes to bed.

And that's about the most interesting thing that's happened so far.
