Gloomy Tuesday

I could barely get out of bed this morning with my alarm at 10:15. Today was as rainy and cold as ever in Paris, and I think the whole city was in a bad, lethargic mood. After my first class and a break, I had class from 4 p.m. to 8:30p.m. The last hour and a half was this super-intellectual bullshitter talking about "Sexualite et Mondialisation," and how women are defined and how men are searching for definition. NOT related AT ALL to "Problems in Contemporary French Society", the class I had to sit through this BS for. He also had a weird thing going on when he talked where only one of his eyes was open and he was looking at the floor the whole time, which was rather distracting. The people next to me were saying how clearly this topic needed to be explained by a woman, which didn't make sense to me at all. Are they so feminist that they really think that anything about gender studies, even if it applies to both sexes (which Sexuality clearly does) can't be taught by a man? Sometimes I hate sociologists. After the talk there was a legit cocktail party paid for by NYU, and I would have totally taken advantage of the free alcohol and desserts if I hadn't been so tired and with such a lame crowd (aka all the weirdos who came to voluntarily hear this talk).

Just trying to slog through this week...I keep feeling guilty that I'm not doing more touristy, exciting things, or even going out more. I just don't have the motivation or the energy. Or the money!
