What a buggy day!
So like this one time I heard this guy say that Japanese people fold origami cranes for every good day they have and I was all psh ok I never have bad days so I guess I should fold one every day!
And it's true. I really don't have bad days. I was going to end this story by saying "except today" but then I realized that even today was good, despite how hard it was at points.
I kept getting lost driving around today and it was so buggy b/c I knew where I was in relation to where I needed to be, but I just couldn't get there b/c the roads here are dumb. Ok they're not dumb, but they're barely marked and it makes navigating so much more difficult. I was on the interstate and I realized quite late that I needed to get over and I went to do it and cut someone off whoopppssss. It was dumb of me, but it was fine. Well this rly level headed guy speeds up to get next to me, veers into my lane and slams on his brakes to...teach me a lesson? Get back at me? Prove he has a babydick? I couldn't help but laugh. I mean, really? God Europeans are such aggressive drivers! And crappy ones. There are always cars parked in the street so you have to swerve around them through narrow passageways before the oncoming car decides it's his turn. It doesn't take long to get used to it all, but it's so dangerous ugh.
Anyway, another stressor today was my French Foreign Language placement exam. I was not worried at all b/c I felt confident in my conversational skills the last couple days. I went to the grocery and called the school to find out when the test was and even kinda got a joke on the radio, so what should I worry about? I wasn't even worried after I finished the test, but boy could I have done better! It's to be expected since that knowledge has been lying dormant for 2 years, but I was very disappointed in myself. I was placed in level B1. Above B1 is B2, then C1 and C2. (There are As but I haven't been in A level since 2006) I finished in C2 last time and I'm back down to pretty much the lowest I could be. I'm so annoyed. I really want to apply myself and hopefully they'll move me up and I can learn something. The teachers I had crushes on didn't seem to be there today, but it was odd hours for them anyway. The admin lady w/ long gray braids was there, though. She's so cool.
I've really got to find some way to get motivated here. This is really a hard time for this family and I'm here to help them get things in order. I need to be more productive in a day and STOP PLAYING games online. They're so addictive thoughhhh...I think the key is to make a plan, so you can be like "hey what's on my to do list" and you're never like "hm what can I do now?" and just play games b/c they're easy and fun and wonderful time sucks.
Welp nearly 1am, gotta be up bright and early. Night y'all!
