Vocab: con - ass
(I'm getting into the "familiar" French these days, you know, I've reached that point in my relationship with the language.)
So, top of the list is, of course, to study for and take my Art History final this Tuesday, but let's forget that item. It seems only fair that a journey that began with a stack of lists should end with the List to End All Lists (comprising some of my own ideas, some of Angèle's ideas, and some of your ideas). Behold.
The Nantes Bucket List: A Mélange of Ideas, French and American (in no particular order except an arbitrary one)
- Issue an Edict
- Go to a Discothèque (boite de nuit)
- Visit the Machines de l'Ile (comrades of the Elephant)
- Go swimming in the Place Royal fountain
- Go bus-hopping
- Soirée costard/robe de soirée dans un endroit incongrue (Trans: Classy dress for dinner at a relatively un-classy restaurant)
- Shop at the Christmas Market and take photos of the decorations
- Buy a striped shirt and a beret while laughing French-ly
- Ne pas respecter les bonnes manières à table (Trans: I think this one is clear...time to toss all my etiquette training to the wind)
- Take a photo of that violin guy
- Try absinthe
- Replicate Rimbaudian debauchery
- Learn a Georges Brassens song
- Get tea at La Cigale (a classy restaurant across from the Opera at Place Graslin)
- Placer le mot "levres" une vingtaine de fois au cours d'un repas (Trans: Say the word "lips" at least twenty times over the course of a meal)
- Try escargot
- Go on a mooning spree (definitely not my idea...)
- Free hugs in Place Royal!
- Fill the rest of my notebook
Well, it's a hefty list, but I think I can do it (at least, most of it...). Expect more frequent posting from here on out...it'll be like a live stream of my progress!
