I asked the guy at reception how to turn on my light. He told me there was a light switch as soon as you walk into the door. There is...but it's hidden underneath a ledge at the back of the bookshelf. What??? Anyway, my light still doesn't work because...I don't know. I think either the light is dead, or the switch itself is dangerous. When I flip it to on (?) it makes a big crack of electrical sound so I think it's kind of dodgy... Also, the heater is not a heater. It does not heat. My room is cold and I am forced to use the itchy and irritating blankets when I sleep.
I have pretty much decided on what classes I want to take here. I have different sets to choose from in case I can't do some classes (so then I would do the other ones I decided on). I need to go and see my Departmental Tutor because I still haven't seen him. He is apparently only in on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. And even then it is 50 mins at the most. So I have to wait until Wednesday afternoon so I can see if I can do those classes. I have no idea how I would find out where these classes are or what room, let alone when classes actually begin. They may have began already, but typical France, I still no nothing more about it than before I even chose to study French at uni :/
Tonight there is a kind of party at a bar. I do not know where this is and nor do the people I met know. Nor the time :/ I know at least one of them is going with people from her cité but I don't know where that is either and she doesn't know when she is leaving. I'll probably end up not going because France just irritates me so I'm not really in the mood to go drink and I am not gonna walk about the streets in the cold looking like a tourist and not finding the place by myself. I tried texting Cherry but she hasn't text back so...I don't know what she is going or not.
It's not the easiest thing to meet people in this place. The accomm is basically a long corridor with rooms with doors that are all closed. I don't see anyone walking about them often, I don't know if people stay in their rooms or are all out or what. All I know is that for the whole day yesterday some idiots were playing music on their guitars in the room above me really loud and not all that great. And then when they finally stopped at about midnight, someone was playing a TV or something or jsut talking very loudly. So in all - CROUS is noisy. So anyway, I thought that maybe the best way to meet someone is to hang about in the small kitchen at the end of the corridor and quasi- cooking until someone comes in. How sad is this. But I might try it later.
I don't care about keeping up with learning French anymore. Not at all. I hate France and if I had the choice to live here for free I would not take it. This whole year abroad is going so slowly, I just want to go back to Birmingham so I can get on and finish my degree. The novelty of living abroad has very much worn off now.
And if I am denied entry into my final year for French then I really will cut someone.
Thanks France for giving me less interest in my degree.
