I can't remember when I wrote these but anything called "Strasbourg Diary ##" was written when I didn't have interent access.
Yesterday I was going to go into university to see if I had lessons, but in the end I didn't because I wouldn't have had any and I would have wasted another 3 Euros. Instead I just stayed in my room and did various things on my computer. I also didn't go because, as I was about to get ready, I noticed it was snowing outside, so I made an excuse for myself. A few minutes later though it had stopped snowing. But throughout the day there were little snowflakes just floating through the air slowly. Not heavy enough to set on the ground.
I am becoming more annoyed about the strike. I have had no lessons since I have been here which is just under a month. I am also very annoyed that I still do not have an internet connection in my room. It is supposed to take under 7 days. It has been longer than that. I have tried connecting before as it says you can sometimes do, but I can't even find a connection to the network most times, let alone keep it for more than 5 minutes. I am wondering if the lack of progress is also due to the strikes, or if it is because they had sent a form back that I forgot to date (there were two forms).
I have flights booked to go home. I am going on Saturday 28th February, and returning to Strasbourg Sunday 8th of March. I am not skipping term as you may think (not that it matters much anyway with no classes) but it is spring break. I also will take that chance to finish my essays for Birmingham which need to be in March 20th at the latest, and I will have access to resources i.e. internet, and I might try and stay at a friend's for a night in Birmingham so I can use the library at uni. Other perks of England include having a hot meal that is not McDonalds and being able to cook something, having people to talk to, television, being able to switch on a light when it is dark and not French.
