I don't think I'll ever get used to the light switches in this country. Up is off and down is on. Still get it wrong 7 out of 10 times, in my own bathroom!!
Went into Paris yesterday after class (yes, on Saturday!). Met up with my friend Verena (German), had a beer with peach syrup, then went back to the apartment she's staying in. You have to go through a door, then a little alley (maybe 20 feet) into a courtyard, and then to the building where the apartment is. Pretty standard for france, but these courtyards can be so beautiful! We had dinner, then rode bikes down to the river and met with some friends. Everyone drinks in public here, and yes, I peed in a public park. As did a lot of others. Am almost French now, except the language issue.
Have been spending today trying to communicate with a group, very frustrating. One girl did all the work, then sent it to everyone. Unfortunately I was not at a computer during the day, and they had all divided the work before I had a chance to respond to the first email (22 by the time I checked my email!!!!) Now I've sent them some work and entirely revamped the power point as they like to put EVERYTHING on the slides and then just read them. Asked for input/opinions/disagreement, and everyone seems to have conveniently ignored the issue. Dorks.
Still need to write about the fun that was Italy, but first, Hotel Real Estate Finance problem sets, reading 10 chapters for the week, preparing 2 presentations, and 1 case study. Who says school isn't fun?!? ;o)
