Long Time, No...Anything, really

Firstly, the country of France, perhaps all of Europe exists in a different time frequency. Much like radio frequency, this means the undulations of the "time waves" is different, in this situation: sped up. As a result of this entirely proven scientific phenomenon, time passes more quickly here. I think it's because I'm living in the future now (except if you live far enough East of me. Time must be even faster for you guys!).

I have a lot of things to say, and I'm going to try and do most of it without going and finding emails and copy/pasting the stuff for everyone else. Here we go!

J'ai beaucoup des choses pour dire et je vais essayer faire ca sans cherche dans les emails j'ai deja ecrire. Allons-y! (note, that was terrible french)

What kind of things do you want to know about? I've been meaning to say this for a while: it was like the second week, I had 6 different cakes in 9 days. It was awesome.

Qu'est-ce que vous voulez savoir? J'ai voulu dire quelque chose depuis longtemps: c'etait la seconde semain, je crois, j'ai goute 6 gateaux differents dans 9 jours. C'etait tres chouette. (by the way, I'm using my lappy, and I'm too lazy to use accents)

I bought pants, they're really cool. I wore a tie and the only one who said something was some authority member guy, but he wasn't really nice in general. And a CD, but it's Mika, which isn't French but whatever.

J'ai achete des pantalons, ils sont tres genials. J'ai porte une cravate et le seul person qui dit quelque chose etait un homme d'autorite, mais il n'a pas ete sympatique. Et un Cd, mais c'est Mika et c'est pas francais mais c'est pas grave.

Clippit from an email (I'm getting lazy):
They don't have substitute teachers in most French schools. When a teacher doesn't show, class is canceled and either replaced by another class if that teacher is available or all the kids go to "permanence." "Permanence" is a giant room full of seats where you just sit, be quiet and work for what should be your hour long class. I thought it was pretty cool, and I still kind of do, but it's happened like 5 times this week. Also, all my afternoon classes were canceled yesterday because there was this "regulations" thing we did. It was about 10 students and 3 teachers and it was supposed to be a dialogue about how to make the class better (i.e.: how to make the students behave better). I guess it was the first time it's ever happened. Oh, and every now and again, random authority members of the school (intimidating graying men in nice suits) come into the class and talk to us about stuff. Today I think it was about how the class doesn't take Histoire des Religions seriously. Which they don't. At all.

Oh la vache, je ne veux pas traduire ca, c'est trop dure. Donc, je ne vais pas. Desole.

Okay, that's all for now, maybe more later

Okay, c'est tout pour maintenant, peut-etre plus plus tard.

A bientot!
