What happened today:

I was able to move up to a higher class level, but only had a half day of classes. I went with Jessica, who lives in the dorms also and is in my class (also moving up a level) to a restaurant and had wine and did our homework, with coffee after. At one point we were the only people in the restaurant, and we talked with the server (owner?) for awhile, he was very nice and eccentric. He told us we were funny in french, or maybe that our french was funny, and called us "petites americaines". Also, I accidentally ate veal. They never tell us what we are eating at the school cafeteria, until someone asked and was told "cows, little cows". It tasted just like chicken, and I continued to eat it, but something about eating babies doesn't feel right to me. Tonight, after dinner, a few of us are getting a ride to the Carrefore, which is kind of the Walmart of France. Apparently it is amazing. It is about 15 minutes outside of Angers due to city ordinances to avoid the ruin of small businesses. France is so smart.
