I had trouble falling asleep last night because everytime I started to doze off, I would realize that I was thinking in French without meaning to. So, I would get excited and wake myself up.
Class is becoming more and more fun. There's a ping pong table in the garden and people play during our breaks. Inside the classroom, we're doing a different version of "ping pong", which I prefer much more. I could do this every day for the rest of my life.
During the lab, there was an exercise that was kind of easy, I thought, and after awhile, The Voice interrupted and started asking me questions a bit more complex (at least I think that's what happened, I could be totally wrong, maybe I was answering everything completely wrong and he was trying to correct me!). Anyway, I finally had a day when I could concentrate in the lab and then it was all thrown out the window as I stumbled through the rest of The Voice's questions.
I looked up the phrase for "flustered" yesterday and the french don't describe the feeling with just one word, but instead use a very pretty phrase. To be flustered is "faire perdre la tete", which translated, is "to lose your head".
We have a dinner tonight. Our "cruise director" (which really isn't a fair description, he's also a very good and serious professor) is in a band and will be playing for us after the dinner. Of course, this has caused much excitement in the class. Half of the class went last night and the other half is going tonight. Some of the girls who went last night will be coming back tonight so they can watch him play again.
