Military time

It has taken some getting used to, the switch to military time. I've changed the clock in my iPhone to reflect the change and I need to get used to using the outer dial on my watch (a tiny red hand on the blue face) rather than the regular hour hand, at least in the afternoon.

We found an Irish pub downtownish, not quite the nicest atmosphere but I wasn't too worried. Scotland's world cup qualifier was on (they won 2-0) and I was hoping to catch the England game. Sadly the game wasn't on, rugby instead. We wandered back home and just laid low, enjoyed a dinner and then went to the party for international and Erasmus students. Sadly we couldn't find any Americans, nor the canadians we had met yesterday. It was all a bit awkward, so Katie and I left. We should have made plans with te canadians in advance but it's fine. Katie's going to mass with some friends of a prof she knows back in the states, and I figure I'll go to mass at the big cathedral, get a look inside after it was closed earlier. [ended up going to mass with her at Trinity International Protestant church]

I wonder if France won... [note: 1-1 draw] I think Anelka and Malouda were both in the squad. They're both Chelsea players and that'd be the reason I'd watch. Someone said that England was up by 4 at half. Sounds like it went well. [note: liar!! They only won 2-1]

Katie mentioned class Monday and I had to laugh because I don't know when or where my French class is supposed to be. I had heard that there was a second welcome meeting for people in the political science school Monday, I'll have to find out about that Monday morning.

Otherwise all is well. I'll deal with a bank account Monday morning and hopefully have a phone by afternoon. I will miss the hunt for free weefee but it'll also be nice to be able to send updates live rather than "next time I happen to find free Internet" which is when this'll get posted. G'nite!

Almost forgot, soundtrack of the day: Vampire Weekend (nothing like the name suggests, YouTube Oxford Comma) and Last Shadow Puppets.
