Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have consumed...GIBLETS. From a chicken. Confit, but still unmistakably giblets. So far I have been good about trying everything Corine prepares, even if it does come from the sea (yuck), and usually everything ends up okay. Not tonight, dear friends, not tonight. I worked my way through as much of it as I could. But horrible images of Dad trying to get me to eat turkey giblets at Thanksgiving overwhelmed me and I just couldn't finish. The taste wasn't really too bad, it was just strong and, uh, giblet-y. But I fought the good fight. Even if my stomach feels a little violated.
But that's probably the most eventful thing today. Just classes all day. I did have my first experience with a French pharmacy...I had to get re-wetting drops that I could put in while wearing contacts--called "larmes artificielles (artificial tears). The guy was very nice and humored my broken French quite well. And they were cheap, which I like.
Tomorrow is Tuesday so my classes don't start until 11:00. So tonight I'm just basically going to do some homework and just chill a little. The heat during the day really saps the ambition and wears you out. But I am getting used to it. And good news: my sunburn has mostly faded and I now officially have something like a tan. Hooray!
Love and miss you all,
Nat
