My lab coordinator was just so incredibly hilarious today that I feel the need to share with someone. One thing I love about Parisians is their vocabulary and expressions. I loved the lab lady because she was so outspoken and straightforward - I'm attracted by that kind of personality for some reason, although I don't think I'm like that.

To my lab partner, whom I later found to be a very unresponsive and lazy worker, she said: "Vous là-bas, vous avez l'air complètement septique alors c'est sur vous que je travaille.'' Later, when she was trying explain a concept to him, she says: ''Oui attends, vous me disez des choses mais je ne sais jamais si vous comprenez les bonnes.'' Plus, she was a super nice and helpful, so meeting her today made me happy.
