School Starts Tomorrow

Lets see some recent updates would be nice.

On Wednesday night I was back at movie night again. This time it was a japanese anime and I can't remember what it is called now. The movie itself was a bit strange but that can only be expected from watching animes. Afterwards "commodore Russia" and I went to Charly's. It turned out to be international night so people from all around the world were there. Apparently there was a wave a Tennesseeians that arrived here a few days ago so undoubtedly I will meet them at some point. I guess that Chambery has an exchange deal with Tennessee.

The following night I wound out being at a mini concert that was in a local bar. The music was pretty cool. It a had a nice folky sound to it that reminded me of living in a country town were life was just relaxed and full of good times.

Over the past week I have been trying out what it is like to been a an actually French college class. I have tried out courses such as 20th century Literature, Geography, History, and Heritage. They are a bit tough at times but I can still understand a lot of stuff that is going on in class. The next week I will try out a few more classes as well.

On Friday a new roommate arrived at our house. He is a guy from New Zealand and from what I can see so far he is a really chill and cool guy with a good sense of adventure. He already speaks a decent level of French so I can't talk in French and he will understand a lot of it. This is a good thing because I was afraid that I would only be able to communicate with him in English. I have too many opportunities speaking in English as it is. This doesn't really help with improving my French.

On Friday night I went to the cinema with my roommate. She has been asking me for awhile to go see a certain film with her so we finally went to go see it. It was a Chinese movie with an assassination plot spiced with a bit of tragic romance . The movie itself might be considered pornographic by some American standards. I was surprised that it was Chinese due to there censorship and the content in the movie. It seemed be fitting for French theaters. Something about romance-tragedies just reminds me of French films. When the film was done my roommate asked me if I like the film. I told her I was glad that it was finished, that was probably the best was to describe it.

Yesterday I took a little skiing trip at Motteret again. I was a bit disappointed, sad even, that everyone that I thought was going either didn't go or felt too sick to go. I wound up Skiing with a Italian friend and a met a few new people as well. The weather was a bit cold in the morning and we were basically skiing in the clouds so the visibility wasn't that great. Later it cleared up some where we could actually see where we were going. The snow was really nice because we spent pretty much most of the day skiing in demi-powder. It was the kind of choppy skied-over powder that is hard to ski on if you are not used to it. I loved it. Each round down the ski hill was another round of exercise. By the end of the day I was exhausted.

Well that's the news, tomorrow classes officially start for us so I will be glad to have some more French practice. Ciao.
