No, I don't know what "forbidden" means

I definitely thought today was the 1st of September all day long and so when my tram card didn't work this morning I got really irritated, because OBVIOUSLY the machine hadn't broken...the tram people just hadn't put my payment for September on.

As a person with greater intelligence, you understand that today is the 31 of August, and September probably is indeed on my card, just that the week that I purchased may have run out.

Today after class I went with the 3 other anthropology German girls (and Oskar, but I don't think he does anthropology so idk why he was there...?) to the Victoire campus to find a secretary -- all aptly named Secretariat -- and ask if we could pretty please register for classes.  The building doesn't open until tomorrow, and we have a field trip all day to the Musee Aquitaine so we are going to go together on Wednesday morning.

As it turns out, absolutely zero people have the same information.  One girl got an email that she had to bring her birth certificate, but no one else did.  Two people have information for the French class.  I'm the only person that knows our mobility coordinator is gone all year.  It's like Clue in real life.  We had no idea where the building was for registration at all, so we wandered about this big stone campus for a smidge until we found it.  Then once you went up the stairs, they had a sign that said you couldn't go down them...?  We went down them anyways and were just going to pretend we didn't know what "interdit" (forbidden) meant.  Or a big red circle with a white line going through it.  No idea.

After the campus-y bit we went out for lunch.  I went with Liza to the chwarma place which was amazing but I wasn't loud enough so I accidentally got fries in my chich taouk.  The other people got bagels.

Then I came home and took a shower because it's like 10000000 (~90) degrees out here.  It's absolutely awful if you're outside for any amount of time.  If you're inside and stay inside it's pretty okay in here with my window open.

Now I'm searching out insurance and registration information.  I haven't heard back from my coordinator about classes, so I'm hoping I get an answer from her by Wednesday so I can give it to the administrative people.

We found out about sports and stuff today in class.  I didn't listen super well because I don't know a lot of sports words, but she gave us all the links for the information so we can do it ourselves.  But it looks as though I would have to go down to Montaigne or Pessac to take any classes, and you have to pay for them anyways so I will make a decision later I think.
