Internfluenza

I still wasn't feeling great today, but I went to work after a bit of a sleep in.  My two office-mates were worried about me, since I never arrive after 9:00am.  I guess I'm pretty accustomed to a non-flexible work schedule : P.  So many interns are sick, that people have taken to calling it "internfluenza".

Tonight at French Class, we played taboo, it was great fun!  I really appreciate the enthousiasm of our instructor and the effort she puts into putting the class together.  We do a lot of "role playing" (Alyica would HATE it), where we practice dialogue based on a particular scenario.  It can be kind of awkward, but it gets you outside of your comfort zone of only talking about things you know. 

One scenario was deciding how to re-arrange furniture in an apartement.  My character was supposedly interested in Feng Shui, and the other character wanted to have all the furniture on one side of the room to be able to practice dance.  I couldn't stop laughing, since my partner was this very serious Finnish guy who I really couldn't picture being really into dancing.   He is also the only person I have met so far in Geneva who cares at all about hockey.

Speaking of hockey, things are getting pretty exciting at the Olympics.  I am going to skip spinning to watch the women's gold medal game tomorrow night and try to catch the men's semi-final on Friday with some other Canadians at a glocals event.
