I love and hate my grammar class (mostly love, but honestly, who likes class?). It's great because I actually do learn stuff, mostly connotations and phrases that I wasn't aware of that make me sound more like a francophone. On the other hand, we oftentimes go over grammar that I already know, and my teacher loves going over vowel sounds with us, specifically the difference between "u" and "ou." I can do it just fine when she just writes it on the board and asks me to say it, but once I have her repeating the sounds for me over and over I lose it. It's incredibly frustrating.

Ironically, though, I encountered someone today that I wanted to do the same thing to. The Genevans (and possibly French speakers in general, I'm not sure) have this fun way of saying "law" that sounds like "low," and it always takes me about 5 minutes to realize what they are actually trying to talk about. We went to the Uni Mail library today, and our guide was telling us about the droit (law) section and I wanted so badly to correct her. Unfortunately that's generally frowned upon.

Something that made me laugh today: when walking home from grocery shopping with my roommate, we saw a little boy on the side walk peeing onto a car. It was just too funny not to laugh at, because it's just so ridiculous! Everyone in Geneva is so uptight (in the best way, but still) and buttoned-up and formal and then there's this little boy, peeing onto a car in broad daylight. So hilarious!
