That time of year again

Tomorrow is the first day of school. WOW. Am i ready? I really have no clue. I'm still nervous about the French aspect of the classes but besides that i think i can do this. I have 2 books (there's a story behind this), some school supplies and newly dyed hair. My hair is super dark, it's crazy. Marc likes it though.

So Saturday we go to the farmers market to get yummy veggies and garlic then we head off to downtown Montreal to get some books. We get downtown and figure out the right way to go and as we are walking.....i fall. I fall in front of people, right off of St.Catherines street. The <em>humiliation!.</em> My knee is scraped, as well as my elbow and my 30$ flip flops are broken. GREAT. I am now stuck on the wrong end of St.Catherines street with broken shoes and blood everywhere. So we walk...well i kinda stumble along trying to not loose my flip flops. We are on the end of St.Catherines that have all the gross looking strip clubs, and bars. No pharmacies, no shoe stores. I just came down here to get some text books and i am on the hunt for shoes. We walk, and walk and walk and we finally find an Aldo. I hate Aldo, their prices are crazy and even though they carry size 11 shoes they rarely fit right. But i'm desperate for shoes. We go in and i spend 40 minutes looking for a fucking pair of shoes that fit. O they have flip flops alright but in sizes 6 and 5. I find a pair of flats that aren't to bad and they are on a rack listed with 25$ prices so i go to the cash....no they cost over 50$. FUCK. I am not spending 50$ on shoes that aren't that nice. The cashier looks pissy but people who work in Aldo tend to always have issues with....everyone. So i am back on the hunt. I find another pair of flats that cost about 40$, they aren't that bad but they don't fit that good but i wanted to get out and go home.

We finally get to the bookstore and i had plans to get three text books but one is sold out. Fine. So i go through all that, and by now my baby toe is screaming in pain from the flats, just to get 2 text books. Was i ever happy to be home.

So that was the weekend, i have to go back to that bookstore this week and hopefully i will not fall.....hopefully.
