Break in class = time for a little update.

So I'm here in the computer lab at ICN for the first time, and I am really struggling with the French keyboard. For comparison sakes check out these pictures and you will see my troubles.
French..
American..
If you are really interested in seeing the differences and didn't know you can make the image larger just click on it and it will blow up.
Anyway, we're learning today about European Union Identity, and I think I've taken the most amount of notes yet. German people can really talk and go on a tangent. Very stern, and straight to the point people (not to make generalizations, but that's what they've been saying about the German people here at school, so I think it warrents me the right to use it as well). The class starts again in 8 minutes, so I've got to make this somewhat fast..
After another somewhat decent dinner at the residences' cafeteria, I had another disappointing night watching the French futbal team fall apart and lose to the Italians. But that can be seen as a good thing for me, because now I will be less inclined to go out to a bar and spend 5€ (I was pretty excited to use the '€' key so I had to throw a price in there) on a pint of 1664. So thank you French team? But for real I was kind of upset over those events, they just played like shit and didn't deserve to move on.
Three minutes left, time for a quick update on this weekends plans. Confirmed, Justin and I are going to Trier, Germany this Friday. Not so confirmed, Justin, Paul, Jake, and of course the Royal I are planning to hit up Nancy, France on Saturday for a last minute excursion to what is supposed to be bigger and nicer than Metz. So those are the travel plans for the weekend, and final exploring of Metz will be conducted either tonight, tomorrow, or Sunday. Oh yeah, my program here ends this Friday and then we start our tripping through Europe. I'm not sure how ill be updating during that time, but I will assure you pictures will be taken.
Back to class.
