Long day. Fun day. Tiring day.

Not nearly enough sleep, for a start, 'cause I'm stupid like that. Was supposed to get a phonecall from

livredor last night and, since I completely forgot about this, managed not to be in. Was very cross this morning when I got her message saying where were you. Thought about banging my head against the wall, opted for the pillow instead given that it was softer and made less noise, and felt sorry for myself. Obviously not even a remote tragedy except for the tiredness factor.

Katie swung by just before 8 so that we could grab something at a boulangerie and get to Raspail métro station by 8:30, when everyone was meeting there. (Yes, today was the trip to Fontainebleau, which I realize I've been spelling incorrectly.) I got another of those yummy brioche from the little boulangerie near Porte d'Orléans; they really are incredibly tasty.

( Part I: Barbizon )

At this point, things are starting to get vaguely fuzzy in my head, since I took a break from writing and went out to listen to music (on which more later!), so hopefully I'll get down all the important bits.

( Part II: Fontainebleau )

Dinner at the Cité (I managed to procure a steak that had actually been done medium rare, and it was relatively tasty, but not precisely what I wanted); following that I spent a bit of time writing the first part of this journal entry, and I tried signing up for a spoken French class next semester. There are only two sections, only one is in a time that I could do (and even then I'll have to miss the Friday class), and both are full. Grr. So I'm on the waiting list for one and hopefully they'll add another section in a time I can actually make. I can't let my French go that quickly, it'd be disastrous. And I can't do normal French 3, either, because that's 5 days a week and I am so not going to do an hour of French 3 every day AND an hour of German 1 every day. Undergraduate classes suck. That's all I can say. (OK, and so do I for not thinking of the spoken French option until today.)

( Part III: Fete de la Musique )

And that was my extensively long day. Tomorrow, I think, is going to be for playing all sorts of catch-up. I'll sleep very late (uh-huh, heard that one before!), wash my hair, do my homework, try and write my presentation on cheese for French.... yeah. Possibly I'll do that out in the sun. The last two items, at least. :) And then I'll go see Dogville in the evening, on the assumption that it had better be playing somewhere still, or I'll be majorly cross!
