just smile and nod

tonight i ate dinner with mme jeanson, paul, and mme jeanson's parents. they spoke really quickly in french throughout pretty much the whole meal...i would pick up on parts, but not a lot (i think someone is getting married on the 6th of october, which they kept repeating and rolling their eyes at). then they would look at me and ask me a question really slowly, like i have some mental problem...which, i guess i do. my french is awful, and that's my mental problem.

i'm going to oktoberfest on friday. OHMIGOD!!! i can't wait to experience this once in a lifetime thing and to hang out with people i haven't seen in forever. actually, i'm excited just to hang around guys. there are NO MEN at aup and no good ones in this city. oh, of course i'm exaggerating. but i really do miss just hanging out with the guys...i get along really well with boys and usually always have a good time just kicking back. i haven't had that guy bond here...the pretty boys at aup hang out in cliquey groups, smoke a lot, and are assholes cuz they know they have their pick of the crop.

who needs to fall in love in france anyway? bah.
