hell of a day!

+The doodler said that's MOI after drinking Coke+
I had the most tiring and awful day today! I woke up this morning feeling enthusiastic and looking forward to gym session. I ate my breakfast, took my shower, logged on to the internet for a bit, packed all my gym gear and also my school stuffs. My class wasn't until 14h today. Came out of my studio to find out that the skies were grey and it was raining. I tried to be optimistic and didn't let the bad weather get in my way. However, my day started to get crappy when I reached the tram stop.

Started with getting my credit card stuck in the TWISTO machine while I was trying to recharge my tram pass. I had to call its office and waited for five minutes under the pouring rain for the maintenance guy to come. When he did, the tram I've been waiting for for the past 10 minutes had left and I still couldn't recharge my tram pass. At least he got my credit card out of the machine and was nice enough to wish me 'Bonne Journée' even though my day of merde was just about to start. And, I had to wait for another 20 minutes for the next tram.

I got on the next tram, and headed straight to gym. I had a good time at gym, though. Today was my third session. Also, with Laurent, the only male coach there. Oh, for your information, the gym that I go to is specially reserved for women, which is a good thing for me, as I don't feel comfortable having guys watching me working out. LOL. And, if you want to know, he's quite a hunk! He looks like a latino, dark haired, tanned skin and VERY sexy body. =) I managed to do two rounds of exercises instead of one. I took another shower after that and only then, my muscles started to ache! I was fine after the first and second session. I didn't feel a thing. But today, after the third one, all my body parts feel as if they're going to fall off. I think I might have overstrained the muscles since I worked out three days in a row. And now, I think they're telling me to stop, or to take it easy, if not they're going to go on strike. Yeah, I probably have developed French muscles since I live here for the past few years. That's why they have French mentality : go on strike whenever you're not satisfied with your employer or even the government (in my case, the brain or to be specific, MOI), you still get paid, nonetheless!

Anyways, after I was done with gym, I thought of taking the tram since it had started to rain quite heavily. Unfortunately, I had to wait another 20 minutes for the tram and I didn't have 20 minutes to spare because it was almost 13h. So, I decided to walk to centre ville, and to Subway to grab a sandwich for lunch. Luckily, there weren't many people queuing up, probably because of the weather. I took my lunch with me and walked to TWISTO to recharge my tram pass (yes, I still haven't got it recharged). At TWISTO, I was told that I have to renew my contract every year which means I have to pay 19€ to get my card working. So, in total, I had to pay 45€, October fare + contract renewal. *blergh*

By this time, it was already quarter past 13h. I took the tram to campus because it was raining very heavily. When I arrived at campus, my hair, which I blow-dried after my shower at the gym, was dripping wet! I took my lunch into Bâtiment de Lettres, find a seat and gobbled it up as quickly as I could. After 15 minutes, I went upstairs and waited for my Mandarin prof to arrive. Class started 5 minutes later. And guess what? I couldn't concentrate in class! I was really tired and my body was aching partout! I was sleepy and a bit lost in class. I couldn't wait to go home.

After class, I went straight to la gare, bought my ticket home and waited until 16h46 for the train. I was lucky I got a place as soon as I boarded the train. I couldn't sleep on the train because it was a bit uncomfortable with my body aching and all, so I read a book. I arrived in Cherbourg before 18h and got home a bit after. At the moment I'm writing this post, I'm exhausted! All day seemed to be wasted on waiting, as well as bad weather which made things worse. Quelle journée de merde! I guess I'm going to hit the bed early tonight. So, until then, toodles!~
