A short entry…

...because I don’t have much time before my next class.

Things I don’t understand about France/French:

1.) pigeons that sound like crows (they caw)
2.) parking lots that you have to drive over a curb to get into - isn’t that awfully rough on your car?
3.) students that leap to their feet any time a teacher or other adult walks into the room
4.) milk that can be stored at room temperature until it’s opened (it tastes disgusting)
5.) gendered nouns that don’t agree with the gender of the subject of the sentence.  For instance : “il entre dans sa chambre” (he goes into his feminine room)

More information as time allows.  I have a meeting/audition for the viola teacher at the music conservatory tomorrow afternoon, and I’ll let everyone know as soon as I can thereafter if I am allowed into the orchestra.  It will actually kinda suck if I can, though, because rehearsals are on Saturday afternoons from 2-4 p.m.  This means that if anyone comes to visit (like Aunt Suse), I’ll either have to skip a rehearsal or miss out on time with them.
