Studying in my neighbour's flat across the hall yesterday was pretty awesome... I think the way university is for me right now is a pile of homework and assignment bricks piled up as time goes by, but there are always cracks in between, stuffed with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and random tufts of pink cotton candy that make it really fun. It's a good mix (although I'd prefer that they lay off the bricks for a while), and there's always something to be discovered, to laugh about, to explore. I haven't laughed as much during normal times than during my "study evenings" ..
So yesterday we were speaking bits of French 'cause my friend had a French exam coming up, which reminded me of J'Explore last summer =( My Torontoian friend was telling me about something that happened during Nuit Blanche in Toronto last year, and the friend we were having teach us French to told me that "J'ai fait nuit blanche" means to pull an all-nighter!
Revelation!!!! It totally makes sense now, because Nuit Blanche goes till really really late (supposedly some kind of art exhibition festival) and also I suppose that the translation "white night" is like treating the "night" as if it's the (white) day-time = all-nighter!
Randoms.
Je suis bouleversée= really really confused
Je suis perdu(e)= I'm lost (physically, or as in "I'm lost in the conversation")
chaussures= used in France French
souliers= muchly a Quebecois word, as with "char" for car rather than "auto"
