I don't care if you're closed, I will climb through the window

Friday was also a most irritating day as I once again attempted to get things done.

I did get my email from Orange, but the instructions were just to look at the website.  I tried to follow the instructions, which involved calling the company.  But then, apparently it doesn't work with my phone.

So I opened up a chat with some guy from Orange and asked for help.  He said I needed to go through a different process and that first I had to buy the new SIM card.  I was like "are you serious rn???"

I trucked my butt down to the Free store to buy my SIM card, but you have to buy it out of a vending machine thing, and I didn't want to do it myself, so I asked for help.  I had to take a number,and then when I went up to the man, he was like "do it at the machine" and I was like "can you help me?" and he was like "YOU DON'T READ FRENCH????!!!!!" and so I just agreed with him because please help me.

So we were going along and I was all ready to get my new SIM card, when he informs me that they are out of SIM cards and I need to do the whole process online and they will mail me one in 5 days.

And I was like "are you serious rn???" for the second time in one day, because I might as well just throw the godforsaken thing away and just not text anyone for the remainder of my time.

It was soooooo irritating.

Then I went to the University and asked the secretary woman about the German class and whether I can take French classes at the other campus.  She gave me the form for the German class and said I needed to go turn it in in Montaigne.  She also has no idea if I can take the French classes at the other campus.  I'm voting that I can, though it adds some struggle to my bus.

I got on the tram and took the 30 minute ride down to Pessac so I could see about the German class.  As it turns out, the class I want to take meets directly after my last class on Tuesday, so it would be really hard for me to get down there on time.  I asked the guy if that was a problem, and he didn't really know.  I have until the 21st to decide--and then worst comes to worst I'll just switch to Spanish which actually fits in my schedule.

WOULDN'T IT BE COOL IF ALL THE SCHEDULES WERE FINISHED/FINALIZED/IN THE SAME PLACE/ONLINE???   I think so.

I then went to see Anna at the Talence campus about her French classes.  They are apparently closed on Friday afternoons, but I just asked her my question through the window because I've had enough.

She did get someone to come unlock the door for me when it was clear that I don't care if I have to climb through a window to get some answers.

She says that I am registered for the French classes down at Talence but that she can't give me a schedule and I will have to go and get my level tested and take the first intro classes before I can actually get a schedule.  It's so frustrating.

However, it's not a problem with credits because she said they might not show up on my transcript from Victoire, but that someone would write me an attestation with my grade so I could actually get credit.

I bet the registering woman is really going to enjoy this.

Joke's on you, France:  I'm going to do whatever I want.  I would've done it on time if you weren't so late giving me information, so really this is your own fault.

Then I went to my favorite grocery store again and bought all the cleaners I need for my room (toilet, counter, laundry soap) and some chicken and some cheese and some more yogurt.  I will tell you, a mile from the tram stop to your apartment is wayyyy farther when you're hauling heavy soaps around.

After this, I went to try and buy a copy card but I forgot what store we went to before, so instead I bought onion rings.  They weren't American.
