Other things

Complaining aside, I’ve done a bunch of stuff since my last post. The last one before the last one, since I decided to separate this one into two. I went to Disneyland, went to Versailles, went kayaking at the fake beach, went to a few Polytech parties, went shopping unnecessarily (you know when you get home and wonder whether your new tutu and cowboy boots will go with your purple suspenders, then you take a step back and disown yourself?). Also, May marked the annual Joan of Arc festival in Orléans. Joan of Arc is pretty much the hero of everyone in France since she drove away the pommy bastards who were trying to invade back in medieval times. After she saved them, the French turned her over to the English, who burned her because she saw dead people who told her to do things. Essentially. So anyway, the festival was pretty good.. personally I was surpised at the number of nerds in Orléans who owned their own medieval costume and/or lute and/or vulture. When we went to see a light show on the Cathedral we were also surprised at the number of people who live here at all; apparently this is the only night they leave their homes all year.

Anyway I was going to write more stuff but I just realised I have not studied yet today, despite having two extremely difficult courses to teach myself within the next 3 days. Bye.
