Deuxième

Okay, now I'm in the Centre's library. This is the first time I've been into the uptsairs portion. It's an open floor, basically an upstairs indoor porch or balcony without windows. you get up to it by a very narrow, incredibly steep spiral staircase. Not that I was measuring, but it felt like a single stair came up to about my knee. I'm currently trying to master a french keyboard. Can you believe it? The Q is where the A belongs, and vice versa. Outrageous. (BULLcrud, Kevin!)There are a ton of other improperly placed letters, too.

Really, though, I just switched it to English. Hah. Take that, French Keyboard. Now I only have to remember to doubly extend my left pinky when pressing the shift key.

I've finished my classes for the day, but should be doing homework. Especially considering part of it requires the library, which closes in the early evening. Caffeine will have to come first, though. It's astounding; despite sleeping between seven and eight hours every night, I'm still exhausted. I think I may have to try my first ever cappucino today. Apparently they're different here, but good. And they involve espresso. Loootttsss of espressssooo.

Madame replaced the jelly, so we had more for our 'continental breakfast' this morning! Raspberry. Even better than the fraise from before. Lunch was a portion of fromage pizza - thin crust, Italian style. We are near the border, after all. It was cheap, relatively tasty, and sufficiently filling. This may be on the menu more often.

We had pasta for dinner last night! I hadn't realized how much I had missed it. This pasta had REAL Roquefort in it, and we added Camembert. Real Roquefort is only made in a specific region of France, with milk from specific sheep that graze in certain pastures. The cheese can only be aged in certain caves because it requires a specific bacteria. Dinner tonight will be the leftovers cooked with some sort of vegetable. Madame has switched to an appetizer of pea soup ):P   I am missing the celery soup.

Classes this morning were French and more figure drawing with Melanie (in reverse order). Apparently this is Melanie's first modeling job. She's amazing, much better than any of the models we've had at school. She also looks exactly as one would picture a Frenchwoman, except she has pleasant facial expressions.

What a strange post, with random paragraphs about food.

A bientot!
