Things are lookin’ up. I’m almost done with my annotated
bibliography. I discovered that I was typing in font size 10, so when I scaled
it up I’ve got way more than he asked for. Now I just need to make sure that
I’m not doing quantity over quality. Next week, I begin to experiments! They’ve
got most of a paper written, but need a little bit more data on flow velocity
in this weird set up they have. It’s like a cylinder with an inverted cone on
the bottom, and it’s full of tiny marbles. They’re looking at how water flows
through it. Pretty sick, and I get to play with it.
I talked to some people at work! For entire minutes. We
discussed where Oregon was. Also, one dude said that they’d take me out on my
birthday. Not sure who he was talking about but mostly himself I think. How do
you get to know people?!?! The only ones that talk to me are the ones who want
to get into my pants. I guess you hook up with them and then they introduce you
to their friends, who become your friends. Damnit. I have the worst strategies.
The only other network I can think to exploit is the expat community, but I
don’t just want to be friends with expats. Fuck.
After work, I took a detour on my way home. I was intending
to go to an English bookstore (yeup, see above paragraph) but got distracted by
everything else. I’m definitely going to continue to explore the area of town
around the capitol. I wanna find where I was last time I was in Toulouse,
because it was also very nice, but so far no luck. This area I was in today has
a lot of tiny streets with all kinds of shop and restaurants. On sunny
afternoons like today everyone is out with their friends at bars. I eventually
meandered home and dropped off my computer. I went out again and crossed la
Garonne, but the other side of the river wasn’t as nice as my side.
Then I came home and ate salad and watched Asterix et Obelix
aux Jeux Olympiques. The sound quality isn’t very good because it’s just a file
and not a DVD, but if I watch it more than once I’ll pick up more of the
rapid-fire French comedy.
THE SUN IS COMPLETELY SET AND I AM NOT ASLEEP. FUCK YOU
JETLAG.
Also apparently the water-people play soccer tomorrow afternoon.
Down. But kinda too embarrassed to play. Oh but I want to. It’ll work out.
