When I got to school I was filled with a burst of excitement because I realized that a new week meant new students in our class! So we have a girl from China named Ge (pronounced Guh), a girl from Taiwan named Lesley, an older woman from Georgia named Susan, and a guy from Italy named Talos. Talos was obviously the most interesting new student... He looks exactly like an actor from a TV show I watch:
He does some sort of photography. Here's his bio: Talos's Bio Too bad he's 35.......... C'est la vie, non? Anyway, come lunch time my stomach was participating in the French lesson. I had a five euro bill but I wasn't sure if the vending machine would take that so I went to ask Laura if she had change for it. Over hearing me, Alice (the Neiman Marcus lady) told me that she would just give me money. I told her that I would be fine and she didn't have to, and she said "Oh please! I feel like you're one of my babies now!" :P So I was able to eat!
A big thanks to Steve and Greg for making my night, whoever you may be.
So I think I'll go cook some dinner now, and come back and tell you what I made, perhaps with a picture!
Alright, I'm back! I decided on Cordon Bleu and roasted potatoes. I was about to make a salad and then remembered that I either forgot to ask mom how to make salad dressing, or was zoning out while she was telling me how...
Anyway, here is the finished product!
Bon Appetit!!!

Thank you for the laughs and French lessons! I'm especially fond of your phonetic assistance! Though I must say I'm actually doing quite well with my pronunciations before I read the phonetic version! Next time please give your live entertainment French names sil vous plait, n'est pas? Etienne, Grégoire et Jon (http://french.about.com/od/culture/a/frenchnames_2.htm for future reference)!
