Quelles nouvelles! D'abord, je vais voyager en Espagne demain. Barcelone, j'arrive! Faites attention! En plus, je vais passer presque trois jours là-bas, et je suis impatient à commencer. Quoi d'autre... heir soir j'ai fini mes reservations pour voyager à Prague avec une amie qui s'appelle Ivey. J'avais peur de voyager tout seul, et grace à dieu elle partira le même jour que moi, donc tout va bien. Aussi, ce matin j'ai découvert que mon professeur d'écrit ne sera pas là la semaine prochaine. Quelle chance! Maintenant je raterai seulement deux cours le jeudi prochaine. Choueeeeeeeete! -------------------------- en anglais I have news! First, I am going to Spain tomorrow. Barcelona here I come! Look out! What's more, I will spend almost three days there, and I can't wait. What else... last night I finalized my travel plans ... read more

so my camera broke last night. it is now obsolete once again - the display doesn't work. it is now just a regular camera. i cant use the zoom or change the flash or set a timer or frame pictures before i take them or look at them and delete them if they suck. this is pretty much horrible timing because i haven't even begun travelling yet. at the end of the month i go to barcelona. very much looking foward to that. the next weekend i think a bunch of anglophones are going to prague. i don't have class friday and that wednesday is a holiday, so i would only miss one day of class if i went weds-sun. then nov 9-12 i go to paris. should be good. wish my camera worked...... read more

I would be remiss if I didn't quickly take the time to properly recount the interesting food I have had the misfortune to encounter over the last 48 hours. For lunch tuesday, I went to Resto U with my friend Julia (from Kansas). She got something resembling chicken from the poultry line. It looked okay, but in the process of eating it she dicovered at least 2 hairs of notable length and thickness. Yum. I, being the brave soul I am, went to the viande line for the first time. my french was good enough to avoid the cow tongue, but I think I ended up eating some bizzare mélange of beef that was masquerading as salsbury steak. It could have been worse - and that evening it was. When I got to Mimi's apartment, she ... read more

http://knox.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2005389&id=62600040&l=17e24 bonjour encore tout le monde! i figured out how to post my pictures all in one place and still let people who don't use facebook be able to see them. cool huh? semester classes at the cla start today. i haven't decided which ones exactly i want to take yet. i think i will go to most of them this week and guage based on the professors. technically it is possible for me to have class only mardi-jeudi (tues-thurs), which would be awesome for travelling but it would suck to have all my courses bunched together like that. you know the more i think about it, it is a damn shame i have to take any courses at all. hélas, c'est la vie! looks like the bears are still winning. they will probably lose their ... read more

well, the second week of cours intensifs is passing quickly. starting next monday i will be in 2 semestriel courses, which i have yet to choose. mais ce n'est pas grave. je crois que ce soir en le cours de la belle région de Franche-Comté nous allons decouvrir qui peut suivre quel cours, en quel niveau, etc... it is raining again today. i made up an expression to describe the weather in besançon: il fait merde. instead of il fait beau (it's beautiful outside) or il fait du vent (it's windy), i say il fait merde. i hope you follow. i'm still trying to learn the guitar, very slowly at that. i dont remember if i mentioned it or not but Sam lent me his. I need to see if i can find a beginners book ... read more

So webmail at Knox is down. Big surprise! Fortunately I have finally learned my blog password so I can still write on here. I tried to post some pictures on here yesterday but it told me they were too small. I have never heard of such a thing. Classes here are going well. I made a friend from Ethiopia. Thankfully her english is better than her french, so we have 2 ways to communicate. Unfortunately, she is going home in a week. I think I am going to some cuban concert tonight with some Knox kids. Jeudi is apparently a big night for college age kids to sortir. Last night I hit it a little hard with Sam, the program assistant, Guillaume, and sam's friend Nasim. We made good buddies with a guy from Ireland and ... read more
