Well, after two weeks and another weekend in Paris you would think that I had enough. However, due to a technical difficulty I am back in Paris again. What was the difficulty you ask? Last week I looked for a cheap last-minute ticket to Paris and found one for 35 euros. However, the computer pulled up tickets for this week and I did not notice the difference so I bought a non-refundable, non-reimboursable ticket for the 13th instead of the 6th, ooops. So, even though I could have saved myself the return fair I decided to come up one more time. It is the last time I can make it for a while and I do love Paris. Although I am very lazy so I really do not do any sightseeing. Not necesarry really since I have been to Paris twice before and have seen the sights. I am trying to be more Parisian and just have fun with Fred and friends.
Work is going, not going great, but going. I am at a plateau with some of the classes and the teachers do not really care to help me plan the lessons or control the class too much. I need to find some new ways to get through to the kids that do not drain the pocket too much. If you have any ideas I am all ears. The Rectorat likes games, songs, and things of this nature but it g can be more of a problem for some of my "rougher" classes in the ghetto of Lyon. I will keep you posted on how things go.
My love life. I really have not had time in the last month to meet anyone new and so I am still single. Sometimes it is irritating but I enjoy my freedom and I think that when I meet "her" or "la bonne" it will inevitably feel right I hope and everything will work out. As everyone knows I am not much of the one-night stand types so no juicy bits to reveal to you at this time.
Is anyone listening? I try to write something on this blog every week but I come to find that there are only a few people who actually post a comment. So, if you stop in let me know by leaving a comment for me to read. Just click on the comment button and it will provide a link . You do not have to sign-up for anything and it will show anonymous so you can just type your name in the text box.
Miss you all, have a beer over at the Saucer for me.

ugh, i'm sorry to hear that the students can be a hassle. it seems like sometimes controlling a classroom can be the most difficult part of teaching. how are your classes going? how about the french? awwww...you know how overseas romance works, right? you typically meet a wonderful, perfect, amazing person about 2 days before the flight back the states. its a dirty little game that cupid likes to play.
as for caya and i....we finally have a wedding date! we will be getting married july 10th. we will then be going to portugal/spain (perhaps morroco) with taryn and her husband. i know that you are planning on staying in europe for awhile, but we would love to have you at the wedding (or perhaps see you in spain).
keep posting to your blog, i love living vicariously through you (my life at uncc is far to boring. and the saucer is not nearly as wonderful in the winter when its too cold to sit outside).
You probably don't read your blog for comments anymore, but I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. I am going to be an assistant in Charleville-Meziere, near the Belgium border, and I am pumped. I want to say that you really "threw down" for turkey day. I will definitely continue on in the tradition when I am there.
Peace
