In Which Rayla Intentionally Wakes Up At A Reasonable Hour And Eats Some Tartines

I planned to wake up today at 9:30, so I diligently set my alarm. It went off, and I just kind of lay there but I heard literally no sounds, so I decided to go back to sleep, because presumably no one was awake. I woke myself up again at 10:15 and got up even though I still didn’t hear anyone. Breakfast was already laid out on the table, so I ate some tartines avec du beurre and tried reading the labels on some of the other food.

My watch has been doing this weird thing, beeping on every hour. I tried to turn it off but no matter which buttons I press it still beeps! This is very annoying and I cannot really explain it. I’ll have to go online and see if I can figure it out on Monday, because I really don’t like to be alerted as to every hour.

Did you know that they have Wii in France? I was playing MarioKart on the Wii with my host brother last night. And another little known fact about the French: they stay up way later than us. We usually eat dinner around eight or nine o’clock, and [everyone] stays up until midnight on the weekends.

My bus/metro route to school is pretty easy, but also pretty complicated. I have to take the 72 but from Auditoire (across the street from my house), to Henri Fréville. Then, I switch over to the metro (Rennes is so high-tech for having a metro, I love it) and go either to Sainte-Anne or République. If I get off the metro on Sainte-Anne, it’s a ten minute walk to school. If I go République, I switch to another bus (argh!), the #10, and get off on Duchesse Anne, which is around the corner from my school. I plan on taking the route through République tomorrow, because I really don’t know if I can remember the walk over from Sainte-Anne. Hopefully I won’t get lost.
