Yesterday we finally got our student ID cards for the University of Pau, and I put 20 euros on mine so that I can use it in the school vending machines. I never have change. That's the only place I know to find a good espresso... And yea, they're little tiny cups and they cost 40 cents but I don't think that's horribly priced.
We got half the day off today because it's a Sports Day on campus where a bunch of different activities were giving demonstrations. We went to where they had a tightrope walking demonstration and then they would let you walk on the rope. Why do we not have this at BSU...? It was really cool. (I should have tried it. I don't know why I didn't. I watched Catalina try it though.)
(I'm about to talk about food again...) There's this place on campus called La Vague (the wave) where you can go for lunch and it costs 3,05 euros and they give you a lot of good food, it's a really good value. You get an entree plate, and then you can also take a dessert (which is usually yogurt or a little thing of grapes or something like that) and a side (which is usually a little thing of shredded carrots, or couscous, or a hard-boiled egg, or something simple like that). Yesterday for our entree plate we had some decent raviolis and a big pile of green beans, today they had dark meat turkey cooked in some sort of red sauce (it was good) and steamed potatoes. Actually they typically have two different choices for entree plates. Yesterday along with the raviolis they also had some kind of fish with sauce, and along with green beans they had plain penne pasta. You can have either green beans, penne pasta, or a little of both (for example). I've been pretty happy with most of the stuff I've gotten from there.
Jennifer and I need to go buy tickets to Paris now that we have our class schedules... We're not going to be able to leave until probably 6pm... It's going to be no fun.
I could really go for some of that pizza we had in San Sebastian. I don't suppose they deliver this far....
