Faits divers #1: Wee, I learned a new word today!!!!!

I slept well last night, much better than the night before

...where I passed out at midnight before beginning my paper and after being on-and-off asleep, wrote it b/w 5 and 7:30 in the morning before starting my 9-17:30 school day (the military time's to make subtraction easier, how many hours is that? That's right, 8.5. Nothing several cappucinos and a Coke can't fix!)

As I said, much better than the night before. When I woke up, I was all like, hmm...that's a lot more sirens than I usually hear. Then I went back to sleep again.

Even though class was at 10:45, I found a way to be late. As I sped right in front of the Place de Clichy metro stop, I glanced at the line of white vans with the blue sirens blaring and making a fuss as they cut through the roundabout west to the boulevard des Batignolles.

"Damn, that's a lot of CRS vans..."

As everyone knows, the CRS are the most brutal of French riot police. Makes you wonder where they were headed, must be a pretty big deal if they have the sirens on...

Very pretty morning, all in all. Good times.
