September 6th

This afternoon was spent at the beach boardwalk of Le Havre, however the morning was spent in a meeting for LSH, license science humaines, majors meaning moi. That meeting was incredibly dull, all of us were struggling to write all the information down without falling asleep. My friend Kate was especially distressed since most of the classes she had signed up to take were apparently wrong; either the level was wrong or the course was cancelled. Well under that situation she somewhat whispered, "fuck," to me. Unfortunately, we always forget this, many people in the room could speak English and happened to hear her. All of them were of course the administrators and our teacher Erich, but they all laughed so no harm was done. It was pretty funny. Like I mentioned earlier in the afternoon we went to the beach which was amazing. The weather was absolutely perfect; sunshine, soft breeze, and fluffy clouds. Kate and I ate lunch apart from our regular group since they wanted to go to a cheap burger stand that was a good distance away. Instead, and I know that this meal is not health at all, I had the "meilleur frites dans la ville", or the best fries in town. They were the second best fries I've ever had in my life, the best were in Edinburgh Scotland. Kate and I ate with Fergus, the Irish boy, by the oceanic view. Fergus also had the best fries in town, however he had them in his hot dog. It was weird, but that's what they gave him when he ordered, "a hot-dag with frays please." I'm pretty sure that a hot dog with french fries in the bun is part of the American dream. Later that night Kate and I tried the pool facility near our dorm. It was a fantastic pool system. They have I believe eleven pools in total and we were able to swim in most of them. We're going to purchase a membership soon, about 30 euros for six months, since it is so close to our dorm and swimming feels great on sore feet. Hopefully the pool will become an everyday thing, as for the moment the thing I need the most is dish detergent for all four pieces of my kitchenware.
