OH YEAH!

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVEN! YOU'RE 22 SOOOO OLD!! WOOOOH! You think the 22 inches of snow that is expected is for your birthday?! Looks like everyone has  YOU to blame for the blizzard.


Oh and for the record, I was wrong twice. Courtney looked it up and there were 6 MILLION bodies in the tomb. Gross. Wow. Cool. Sick. Creepy. Awesome. Cramped. Party. A lot of emotions.

Last night the falafel was successful with Christine and not with Courtney, she liked the balls but didn't like all of the other stuff in it. It took forever to get in but then we finally got a table. When Torey got her falafel she accidentally said out loud "OH YEAH!" and the people there couldn't stop laughing. We will forever be the "OH YEAH!" girls. Apparently one of the staff there says it all the time. Is Christine praying or excited that she finished her falafel?

Courtney: F for Fail

Christine: Attempted A for A+

Today I had my most interesting class, marketing communication. I had an American Professor and it was cool learning about marketing since I am so used to learning about Finance and Accounting. The three hour classes actually aren't that bad. Each professor must give us a 15 minute break at the half mark. Since the second half of the class is shorter it tends to go by fast and a lot of professors let you out a few minutes early because they get so sick of teaching. Works for me, I'm sick of learning.

Alright, so I need to get a few language barrier issues off of my chest. I am an American, I sound like an American, I look like an American. American. You never know whether a person is going to speak English or not so you kind of have to hedge your bets on how you speak to them. I find that whenever I don't start off with "Par lay voo inglay?" or "Je na par le pa frances." (I spelled them the way you pronounce them) but rather I look up or ask Christine what to say in french and say it, they still respond to me in English. I am trying soooo hard! But they just don't get it. Real shot to the self esteem. Andddd another thing I want to get off my chest is how dumb it is when I say in french that I don't know how to speak french. Clearly I know how to say SOMETHING in french if I am saying it in french...ya dig?

Well, I think that is about it for now. Oh yeah, on our way back from falafel we found an UNREAL chocolate store. It could be deadly.

Word of the Day: Je pige que dalle. = I don't understand a word you're saying. (What goes through the French people's head when I attempt speaking to them in French)
