News!

Good news! The Arab World professor doesn't hate America. He turned out to be very nice and even told Tessa and me that we could do our presentation in English. We of course politely declined. Then he asked us why we wanted to take the class and told us that he thought there were simply lots of misunderstandings betwwen the Arab wolrd and America. We of course politely (and enthusiastically) agreed. Tessa was even quick thinking enough to throw in a comment on how much we hate George Bush. Good thinking Tessa!

Bad news! John Edwards dropped out. Hopefully this just means that he has a secret aliance with Obama to become his VP...

Good news! Sarkozy got married! Surprisingly, French people are actually very blasé about the whole thing. I think they're tired of reading about him and his life.

Bad news! The wifi at my host parents house is still broken. And the wireless at school is unreliable. And I'm currently out of NPR podcasts.

Good news! My host family and I made donuts yesterday. They aren't actually donuts but are instead tiny pieces of dough that are lightly fried. More like sweet corn chips really. They're for mardi gras. We also made crepes Saturday night. My host parents let me try to flip one of them

Bad news! I am bad at flipping and the crepe went flying across the kitchen.

EDIT: FANTASTIC NEWS! THE WIFI AT HOME IS WORKING AGAIN! YAY!
