listersgirlI completely failed to make soup last night, which had been the plan. In fact, I failed to do anything whatsoever of usefulness. I'd like to blame it on lethargy after donating blood, but it was probably just laziness. I did manage to bring lunch again today (that's both days this week, so far!), but it was supposed to be dinner (with lunch being soup), so now I have nothing for dinner, unless I can manage to wait until I've made soup. Haha! Sure.
Had another semi-unpleasant but not terrible blood-donating experience. This time I got terribly nauseated after the needle came out, and ended up surrounded by nurses fanning me and giving me cold cloths. I am such a princess. I felt fine after a few minutes, though, and feel fine today, with none of the lingering dizziness and arm soreness of last time. My blood was faster, too.
And I had my first French class this morning! After almost no notice about when it was going to be -- they called yesterday afternoon to say that the class was starting this morning at 8. Which was not one of the "preferred" times I chose on my form. So much for my hopes to switch to a later shift. Anyway, the class was okay - the teacher seems a little undecided about what she's going to do, but that might have been because she was trying to assess where we all were, level-wise. It's a pretty typical mix -- a couple of people who are pretty good with the speaking but sound just like they're talking English, one who reads and comprehends fluently, but can't speak at all, one who is already struggling, and me (I'm the one who generally sounds lovely when reading, does all the exercises easily, but can't get any kind of complete sentences out of her mouth). This time I'm determined to retain what I learn. Determined!
And now, lunch is over so it's back to work for me. I swear, the CDs are multiplying behind my back.
