France is awesome. This place makes me laugh so much.
I started classes on Monday which is a joke cos so far I've no idea what's going on, where anything is or what I'm supposed to be doing. I *think* I'm taking French - English translation, English-French translation, French Civilisation as viewed through the media, something called Comprehension Expression (which is basically learning how to speak English...), French poetry in the 16th century and Literature, Myths and Art in Europe. Doesn't that sound like a barrel of fun? Luckily I'm in classes with a bunch of friends so we all sit and giggled at our incompetence and then go and drink copious amounts of coffee.
I tried to book my train tickets home last night, but it wouldn't let me get the Eurostar one online cos my card wasn't a Visa, Mastercard or American Express. I just want to get this done before the prices start getting too expensive. Shall have to call the Mother and get her to do it for me.
My mates are forcing me into taking hiphop dance classes. I'm trying my hardest to resist. Small, white Scots girls are not supposed to dance hiphop, it's a well known fact. I'd rather play tennis, but nobody else wants to and I'm not keen on going alone cos I know I wouldn't understand what to do. Some things just need to be done in a group.
On a really really random note, I found the best song lyric in the world the other day. From the song 'Dance Dance' by Fall Out Boy:
"I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me"
Damn, I love that so much. I know how he feels.
I badly want to move out of halls after Christmas. I got into trouble for taking a shower after 10pm the other week and then again for having people 'talking too loudly' in my bedroom at 11pm. It's insane. Plus, communal showers and toilets gross me out and the lack of a freezer/washing machine/iron/TV/living room/decent internet access is really pissing me off.
Aye, and am I the only one who thinks that this month's Clarion and Globe should not have included negative reviews from the Festival? That was unfair. The guys are loved over here and there are only a handful of bad reviews amongst hundreds of great ones. If we want to increase the show's popularity and get it back in the public's mind again, surely we have to concentrate on the positive?
It's nice to see that the scrapbooks went down well though.

I agree Kirstyn - I don't think it's fair and let's face it, we're all fans so we aren't interested in reading them. There's always going to be people who won't like the show but we want to hear the positive because let's face it, this was our special magazine.
*Steps off soap box* Sorry I get carried away sometimes (stop it Tim!)
