There may be something there that wasn't there before...like a new blog post!  Haha sorry for going so long without writing :)  I do have some pretty good excuses: first, my internet went out for three days, then I got pretty sick (no worries, everything's fine now though), then I had to finally fill out my forms for my US university, then I had to figure out what to enroll in for next semester, oh right and I had a test that ended up being cancelled but I studied for it anyways.  Last but not least, my computer broke.  But now, everything's all good, except the test which will now be next week haha.  And speaking of tests...my "Language" professor decided to give us a pop-test yesterday.  Yep, we've had absolutely no grades at all this semester and out of the blue she springs an exam on us over stuff we've NEVER seen or done before.  I just laughed - I knew I was destined to fail.  I even went up to her after the class ended and said "I didn't understand this part of the test, what can I do to answer it?  I've left it blank for now."  She replied "Don't worry about it!"  WHAT???  Seriously, that's our only grade so far, and there are only 5 classes left.  Sometimes I miss good old US crazy difficulty, because at least I know what's coming haha.  

I had a lovely America night last Friday =)  I cooked fajitas (yes, I managed to find Mexican food here in France!) for myself, my American friend, and my French friend who studied abroad in America and thus is well-acquainted with Mexican food (or at least American Mexican food haha).  Even though he studied at OSU, I still cooked for him ;)  He brought chocolate, so it ended up being ok haha.  I can't hold it against him for studying there, how was he supposed to know that he picked the bad school in Oklahoma???  No offense to any Cowboys reading this, of course...just remember that OU's always better ;)  After dinner we went out to a bar and had a nice time drinking with a bunch of his friends, which meant I got to practice my French while under a little bit of the influence haha.  Granted, I only had 1 glass of wine, so I wasn't really impaired, but understanding everyone else in a loud bar with music blaring is quite a challenge.  I felt like a beast every time I responded without asking "Repeat, please?" or contributed to the conversation =)  Overall, I'd say it was a successful night out!

Today's Pi Day in America!  I have a nerdy confession to admit: this morning I became slightly depressed when I realized France will never have a Pi Day.  In France, as in most of Europe, they do the date day month year instead of month day year like Americans.  So 3/14 for Americans is 14/3 for the French.  3/14 therefore doesn't work since there is no 14th month, and 31/4 doesn't work either because April only has 30 days!  If only Leap Day was in April haha =)  I still went to the bakery to celebrate, because I'm a nerdy American!  Woohoo!

And now time to stop wasting time...I have 2 tests to study for and a 10-13 minute speech (in French of course) to prepare for next week!  Never mind the fact that the longest speech I've ever given IN ENGLISH was under 10 minutes....better start practicing haha =)  Definitely going to need a nice trip to the bakery next Thursday evening to celebrate!
