Bien fait

When I woke up this morning, I could almost hear panic bells going off. The last lecture for the analyse numerique, a subject I'm taking here was scheduled for this morning and the test is already on wednesday. But that's not the jist of the story. The point is, I haven't gone to a single lecture for the almost one week it was being held. The subject has 10 hours lecture under its name, and today was the last two hours, and voila, i was sleeping in my room for the first 30 minutes of that last two hours. Good thing javier told me there was a break after the 1st hour. At least I could just squeeze in when everyone's out to go for a break. So there, out of the 10 hours lecture for that subject, I only attended 1 hour, plus the 2-hour lab work last friday. There's supposed to be a laboratory later in the same subject - the last one, but it has a conflict with my other lab in icam 1, so i might not attend it either.

Anyway, that was my first time to oversleep here in france. And why did i oversleep? Because I slept at 6am thinking I can get up in time for the class. Tsk2. No, I haven't been studying, although I should have been. I was busy checking out plane ticket rates around europe so that I can go on vacation. hehe. It's amazing from a Filipino point of view. Plane tickets in the Philippines cost a fortune, while here, with 40-70 euros, you can purchase two-way plane tickets to different countries already! And take note, the really plane ticket price is only around 20 euros (there was even a 1 euro ticket to cologne, no kidding). What brings up the prices are the airport taxes, etc. which often than not are more expensive than the actual ticket. Hehe. But there, I have to plan my vacation early - at least a month before I go so that I can get ticket prices at such low prices. I want to go to Barcelona, Athens, Berlin, Venice, etc. I don't know which one to go to first and I don't have anyone to go with yet!

Athens (hehe, this is my favorite) anyone?
