I can't remember when I wrote these but anything called "Strasbourg Diary ##" was written when I didn't have interent access.
I finally got a straight answer from the Lettres department today. I was asking about taking a certain course and if it would clash with another class I wanted to take. She was like, blah blah blah blah blah no you can't - unless you are Erasmus and then you can do blah. And I was like....I am Erasmus. And then she continued to explain things in detail for a few minutes and then added "but if you are Erasmus you can do whatever you like". So basically, I can choose whatever I feel like. But somehow now I have to try and register with the actual German department too.
So about my classes. I had a hard time trying to work this out, and I still haven't worked it out either. You would think that I would be given at least some help or information about how to do it. Not that it matters anyway, as the teachers are on strike (at least most of the 'french' ones are). So in the almost 4 weeks that I have been here, I have had 1 hour of classes - which was German. The one class that I had was the one cours that I was the most unsure about if I was even allowed to do.
I still haven't met any French people! It's too scary to talk to them by myself. When classes kind of 'start' though I am sure I will get to know some people. I talked a little last week with some people who were waiting for the same cancelled class as me but that's about it.
Apart from that, on Wednesday I happened to come across some internationals as I was going to go home, and got invited to go ice skating with them that evening. It was great! I hadn't been in ages but at least I didn't fall over! But I did tear my glove on the wall...And I still failed to get their phone numbers into my phone! So I am kind of still cut off, all lonely in my accommodation which none of them live right at the end of a tram line up north with no internet yet.
