1. I changed my math class. Now, instead of four hours per week, I have two. I just couldn't keep up with the regular math class. I was two years behind what they were learning and I could barely keep up, even when I copied Talia's notes. So I talked to the principal and switched into a math class that's two hours per week, and I'm told it's more applicable to life than the math I was doing before. We'll see what happens when I have the class next week.
2. I added two more classes to make up for my new hours of study hall. If I hadn't added them, I would have had an hour of etude, lunch, then three hours of etude after lunch, THEN my last class of the day, geography. That's lunacy, so the principal had me add Science Humaines and Formation Sociale. I'm not entirely sure what these classes are or what we're learning, but I think it'll be fun. I've never seen any of the kids before now, and they were so excited when they found out I'm an exchange student. It was like the first day of school all over again. The problem is that these classes are both two hours per week. I, however, have classes during the second hours, which are on Friday. So I'm only going to one of the hours every week. It's kind of confusing, and I'm going to miss loads of material, but I'm really only in those classes to fill time and continue learning French. So ça va.
3. My school has a rule, an actual rule, that states that you may NOT stand up and eat. You have to be sitting to eat. I found out today when I was talking to Talia and eating my sandwich, and the principal said, "Bon appetit, mais tu dois s'asseoir." (You have to sit down) I asked why, and she said because it's not healthy to stand and eat. It's a legitimate rule, not a joke. I've never been so flabbergasted in my life. Never.
The end.
