Um so I have been tres lazy with these posts. But let's see lots has happened. These are the things I have done/seen/learned in the last few days. I will do a list form because.. it is easier than making sentences (I do not make many sentences in English these days so you will have to give me a petit break)

• abolition of slavery memorial
• printing museum
• planetarium (a l'oeil= at eye = for free)
• if you wanted to know, the word for supernova in French is the same as in English. has been very helpful knowledge for me thus far. 
• a man blowing fire at a jeune fille. don't worry she survived. 
• tried to pick classes. didn't really work because the European system is wack and chaotic
• played frisbee with some French boyzz. literally only two French boys because people don't play frisbee in Europe pretty much ever
• successfully "faire la bise" without spazzing out. "faire la bise" = kissing strangers you meet on their cheeks instead of just saying hi/shaking hands/awkwardly waving
• received awkward looks for wearing shorts while jogging. apparently this is a weird thing to do
• received awkward looks for smiling too much at strangers. I must work on my chilly French demeanor
• received many blank stares. "euuhh vut ees eet that you are atryinguh to sayyee?"
• a Francaise singing BB King 
• had a picnic next to a castle. casual. 
• actually it wasn't really that casual we were way too excited. there was a group high-five
• the french word for tipsy is joyeux
• became joyeux entirely too early this saturday. typical americaine move. but it was vaut la peine (= worth it)
• the french use the same word for the little plate that goes under a cup of coffee and for the rings around a planet. because cafe is that important, bien sur.
• the word merde (shit) was invented by a man from Nantes
• yep.
• I myself have also invented a lot of words since I've been here. but none of them have been picked up by the rest of the frenchies unfortunately. 
• ate a kebab it was awesome
• got into the highest level french class ! 
• this means I have to choose between having a 9am grammar class or having Fridays off
• difficile... 
• two expressions for hangover: geule de bois = mouth of wood. mal a la cheveux = bad hair
• took the night bus and did not see Harry Potter
• planning a trip to Oktoberfest
• became not sick anymore!

Okay I think that is just about it. I will post pictures of Nantes soon. I went on an epic journey around the ville taking pictures of pretty much everything. But there is still more. I enjoy pictures more than words so expect lots more pictures aussitot!
