Tori's French Culture Blog

Here's another video of me speaking in French! This time I'm discussing my daily routine.

I know that we have simliar things like meal breaks and such, but the French just seem to have more leisure time. Military time is not very common where I'm from.

I usually eat dinner after band class then I go back up to my suite to do homework for awhile. I usually call it quits on homework around 7:30-8pm. Around this time, I put on my pajamas and play on my phone some or embroider. My boyfriend usually calls around this time...
