Yesterday was a bit of a frustrating day, trying to sort more paper work, introducing myself at my second lycée, to-ing and fro-ing between the 2 schools. There is a crossover between the timetables of the two schools, certain teachers who want me in their classes in the same period, and it's hard to get folks to agree about who gets me when. Also, I had a bit of a headache and got frustrated and lonely and homesick. Things improved slightly when I came back to the flat and my nice flatmate (Ronald) suggested I take a siesta. In the evening in the evening we both went to do a big food shop, we caught the bus to a BIG supermarket just outside town. We had a bit of hassle getting back because the bus times were badly marked and we ended up having to take a taxi with another stranded lad (a nice Pakistani chap who works as a cook in a Brasserie next to the Truffe Noir in town). Ronald doesn't know how to cook at all so last night I taught him how to make a simple meal, and we had a glass of wine [edit, 19h07: he's going to cook himself this evening :) ]. Our cupboards are full AND I found out that Brive has a Lidl (I <3 Lidl) much closer than the other shop, so the day ended well.
Today, I didn't have classes. I planned to try and FINALLY sort my banking, complete the last of my (current) paperwork, do my laundry, explore town a bit (at last!) and try to find a basketball team.
I walked all around town several times.
I still don't have a bank account. (Although I did manage to book a rendez-vous with Mr Banker for tomorrow morning.)
I spent a fair amount of time trying to sort out the timetable mess, without much success, I forgot that schools have a half day on Wednesdays. Blargh.
I did have an ice-cream this afternoon, which vastly improved the overall enjoyment of the day.
I also managed to sleep past the boarding house bell :D and I got to use my pigeon hole :) AND I met the lady who's in charge of the laundry, who is a total honey.
I'll do my laundry tomorrow. Right after I've been to the bank, and sorted my papers...
