- The price of consumables here went up by 0,3% in April. Great.

- Grevistes(strikes, whats new).
Here is the list of sectors going on strike today: teachers, custom officers, financiers, culture (museums), hospital agents and practiciens, la poste (post office), France telecom, France 3, France meteo. (the list is slightly longer than this)

Viva la france.

- I did a brave thing today; I went to the board to present something. During solid mechanics class every week, the teacher will call students up to present tutorial questions. Today it was my turn.

Exchange students usually have a choice to do or pass. I decided to do it, just like all french students.

It was damn scary because I didn't really do the question before-hand; my hands were shaking as I wrote. Didn't turn out too bad, though I was a bit slow because I couldn't understand what the prof wanted me to write sometimes.
