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.
