And off to
school again. Somehow the bus we usually take took quite long to get to the
city center, so we missed our tram and ended up coming 20 minutes late (which
was very embarrassing, since there were about 20 of us). We had quite an
interesting lecture about oxygen as a poison and in the afternoon went to visit
an institute here in Angers
called IRIS.
Oh, I
forgot to fill you in on our lunch. I chose some sausages again (yes, I miss
pickles so much I eat sausages just to get one tiny one for lunch), a dry
chicken and pasta with a tomato sauce and an apple tart. K. asked me if I was
on a yellow diet since all of the food I had was yellow, but before you start
to turn green, that was after I already ate the sausages. If they were yellow,
I don’t think I’d have wolfed them down the way I did…
The visit to IRIS was cool, I
switched my place with K. so that I could go to the genetics workshop and he
could go to the immunology one. We visited the labs, saw the equipment they use
(since they analyze a lot of samples, they have some machines we don’t have in
my lab), listened to a short lecture and had an interesting discussion about
ethics in genome sequencing. In the evening, I proceeded to buy out the local
H&M store (but seriously, how awesome are the things I found there?) - the
coat was 15 E, the skirts 15 and 10 E, the scarf 5 E, the cardigan 7 E and the
jacket was 15 E. Then I got a small box of 7 macarons in a nearby patisserie
and since they were really good, I think I’ll be coming back for a bigger box
to bring back home.
Then I finally decided to go
to a shoe shop I’d wanted to go to ever since I found it’s webpage back home.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have the shoes I originally came there for and the
second pair I wanted to get was kinda weird, the straps were all wrinkly and
looked pretty ugly when on my feet. So I only got a pair of ultra-cute black
ballet flats I really needed to buy. On my way, the sole of my current shoe
broke and it actually chafed my foot so it started bleeding. So right after
buying the shoes (and a cute rose-shaped keychain) I changed into them and
threw the broken ones away.
I hurried
to the Carrefour supermarket to get some food and then missed a buy and went
with the next one. It somehow didn’t stop at the station I was supposed to get
off at so I ended up being taken someplace crazy and unable to follow my way
back. I spotted a young mother with her daughter and asked her for directions
and believe it or not, she was so nice that she took me to the students’ dorms
in her car. So I at least gave the keychain I got to her daughter, because she
totally saved my life. Since coming back, I’ve been writing this diary,
watching Ullzang shidae and liquidating macarons. Yum! ^____^
Yours truly
