(Feb 14)
It's Valentines day... Happy Valentines to all the women I know, and will know. Je suis en mon habitte maintenant. Desole Je suis malade. I thought I was well enough to go out and party at the Discoteque. Apparently I under estimated the recurrence of my flu symptoms. Prior the the trip to the Erasmus Party, my fellow Americans (except Maggie, Lukas, Nancy, and Chris), two British and one German played the "Jackie Chan" drinking game next door in Trip's room, who newly got the room last week if I hadn't mentioned so already. I attempted to travel with them to "le Ramier," getting off Palais du Justice from Ligne B and walking across the Pont St. Michel bridge. The name of the event was "traffic light" and the game was for each person to wear a color (green=single, yellow=complicated, red=taken). The club would not let us in until 5 minutes later, so the others looked for more alcohol while Ryan and I decided to wait at the club entrance, until my throat started to feel worse. I headed back to the station, running across the gang by a bar. Giving my entrance ticket (which I bought from Camille yesterday) to Matt for Villy's entrance, I found that most of them were upset about my retreat. This made me feel a bit more upset especially with Lisa who I have seemed to notice is a bit annoyed by me. I have thought about it and this may be due to the fact that I seem to join the rest of the guys in poking fun at her. I have never intended to make fun of her that way. I went back to Promologis alone tormented by loneliness especially by the dozens of couples adoring each other in the train. Vive le France, que une ville adorant.
Waking up today was as hard as waking up yesterday. The dryness that occurs every morning is becoming irritating. The temperature in the room was to remain at 65 F/~18 C (room temp). At least nasal spray helps my nostril stay unclogged through the night... I struggled with Linear Algebra as usual. I found a pattern in my ways of understanding lectures that in each second half of each lecture, I seem to absorb more information than the first half.
At 1:00pm (Onze heure) Le club meilleur de INSA, club BEE, had brought out items left behind by previous study abroad students for us to take. There were all sorts available such as kitchenware, blankets, candles, all sorts of things including a cellphone and a bluetooth ear piece, although it need a charger to work. It was a relief for most of us since we planned to buy pots and pans from the Gypsy market.
I finally got my skype to work thanks to this French computer guy. Afterwards I somehow got a feeling that playing soccer would clear my flu. I was wrong... all I got was embarrassment in front of God and everybody by falling after trying to chase after a soccer ball giving me a small scraped bruise in the knee. I stupidly continued to play until it was time to take a shower and prepare for the Erasmus Cocktail hour at 5:30pm bringing together all the exchange students at INSA to meet each other and practice our French. At the end of that cocktail hour, I found pleasure talking to Pauline and Camille from BEE. +5 motivation points to learn French fast.
