I am certainly not an "on time" kind of person. That's actually too putting it lightly! If you tell me to be there at 6 o'clock sharp. . . expect me to show up at around 6:15 (optimistically). So, being the American MORMON that I am, this isn't usually too much of a problem. Buses in America say they'll be there at about 5:40-ish. Not at 5:40 exact. Well. . .this in not so much the case in France! The French are incredibly timely. Everyone know when somethings happening and how to get there. Most are even able leave at absolutely the last minute and still stroll into where ever they need to be and take a seat literally two seconds before it starts.
I looked at my bus schedule to see what time in the morning I'd need to be there in the morning and it told me 7:13! I thought "huh. . .that's kind of weirdly specific"! But sure enough just as l look as my phone to see it says "7:13" the bus pulls up! It's right on time! Every. Single. Day.
Still being Miranda, I tend to be late for my Seminary class every Friday! But this last Friday I was surprised to look at the clock and see that we'd arrived early. So I stroll in and hang out in the foyer and wait for other people to walk in, but after a couple of minute I decide to go wait in the class room. I look in and everyone's already in there and they've started!!! I COME EARLY AND I'M STILL LATE!?
Maybe this is a good opportunity for me to learn not just French but how to be on time to things! Oh life experiences. . . how i love and hate you at the same time!
