Another Wednesday, another French lesson (at six). I'm pretty bad at French.

In my class, I have the weakest grasp on a lot of the fundamentals, I've noticed, but I suspect that my pronunciation is better that of most of my classmates. I'm trying to figure if this somehow relates to my competence at my job, but I can't correlate pronunciation with any aspect of my job, so I shan't bother.

On the way home from French class I tried to get into the shoe store on Young street which is part of the only chain in the city that carries my size (16). They closed just as I arrived, at 8 PM. This city can be frustrating, sometimes, but I guess that comes with living in a city of this size.

After the non-shoe-shopping experience, I stopped at the Mazda dealership to ask whether there was anywhere that I could rent their AJAC "car of the year" award-winning cars. They told me that "Enterprise" has both the Mazda3 and Mazda6. They had one of the new hatchback Mazda6 models there. It looked good. If I ever find myself needing to lease a new car (not sure why this would happen) it would likely be that one, from everything I've read. So maybe I'll go rent one just to find out if they're as good as they seem on paper.
