FINALLY have internet in my room ...

... no thanks to French administration! But the technician finally did make it here today and I have a brand new socket and the right cable and everything is fine!

I only updated a couple of days ago, but one of the funniest things I have ever seen happened in my lecture this morning. Some guy's mobile went off, and the lecturer stopped and said "Ah, j'entends un portable!" and then she said that whoever it was had to own up. So the guy put his hand up, he was right at the front ... he's also an Erasmus student, I don't know where he's from but he speaks English mostly. THEN the lecturer said "the rule is: if your phone goes off, you have to sing." Everyone started clapping and cheering and everything, and I don't think the guy understood at first what she was saying, but eventually he did and he got up, put his baseball cap on ... and sang possibly the best song he ever could have sung in those circumstances ...






I don't know what you heard about me
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfucking P-I-M-P!


ACTUALLY hilarious. We went over to congratulate him at the end, it made my day.

My timetable's changed as well - I was meant to have a horribly long day yesterday, but I decided to change one of my modules. I was going to do "Histoire du droit familial," but it's a masters module. We're allowed to do modules from any year apart from first year, but even the third year ones are difficult, so I've decided not to make life any harder for myself by attempting to do a masters one! If I'm going to do that, I'll do it in the second semester when my French is better. So instead I'm doing "Histoire des institutions juridiques" which is a second year module. The others have already been to one lecture (I have to copy up the notes at some point) and said it was OK. So the modules I'm doing are:
Droit civil (civil law)
Droit pénal (criminal law)
Droit constitutionnel européen (European constitutional law ... basically EU law)
Droit international public (international public law)
Histoire des institutions juridiques (history of legal institutions)
Libertés fondamentales (fundamental rights)

I've had lectures for all so far except international public and institutions juridiques, and so far none of them have been a complete disaster! *Touch wood*.

Anyway, this was just a short post, mainly to share my joy at the 50 Cent guy, I'm now going to go and play on my brand new room internet!! :D
