[Insert pretentious name here]

Well, first off I will apologize for not posting for so long. I have a couple things on the go, but I am not yet sure whether I will post them or not as they are on a more personal level. And I have become re-addicted to a computer game. (surprise, surprise!) Speaking of addiction, it happens to me too easily, especially with computer games. I find a new game, am obsessed with it for 1-2 months, play it non-stop, then grow bored with it and stop playing. I am trying to moniter my usage of this game so this doesn't happen yet again, but as you can probably guess, it isn't working out too well. :D

Francois-Xavier (F-X or FOXY HAHAHA) arrives on Saturday. In case you didn't already know FOXY (teehee) is my twin for the Canada-France exchange I am involved in. He will be here for approx. 3 months, until November. I leave for Meylan, France, which is just outside of Grenoble in Febuary until March. Now this Febuary-March thing is kind of bothering me. Especially choosing whether I should have my French class first or second semester. Here are the pros and cons of taking French first or second semester. :D (I guess you can just figure out the second semester pros and cons as they will just be first semester ones switched :D)

First Semester Pros:

Improves my french skills so I will have less trouble adjusting to the language while in France.

First Semester Cons: Takes away an easy class in a semester where I will be missing 3 months of classes. (Classes in France do not count.)

It may come down to a coin toss :D.

Nick finally left for Austria on his rotary exchange, and also finally escaped the British Airways strike in which he was caught in. He has since arrived at his new home/castle (which is bigger than he thought...more on that later!) and has left for his German language camp. We have not heard from him since London. (Again, another surprise :D) We all miss you already Nick! For example, I turned on the TV, and there was "Dave the Barbarian" but I just as quickly turned it off, because it's just not the same without someone to laugh with.

So Nick's castle. It appears that it is huge, and that his family also owns a mountain, on which is the ruins from the first castle! The chapel is still intact from the first church! (I'm so jealous!!!!! :()

Thus ends the random thoughts.

P.S. Birthday in t-minus 4 days!!!!!!
