The Internet has been working really well. I can tell because I have not read too much in my book this week, but at least I am more in touch with everyone. I still don't have wireless, so I had to by a long Ethernet cord so I can go on the internet in my room instead of Sarah's. I had to stick the cord to the wall in the hallway with blue tack, so it looks really bad and it falls down sometimes but at least I can be in my own room now!!! Plus not too many people are going to be looking around the hallway in our apartment.
Yesterday we went to see "Babel" at the movie theater. It was another really good movie. I recommend it to everyone. It was in English, but they speak so many different languages in the movie that I had to read the French subtitles a lot. One of the teachers told us that it is good practice to watch movies, so we decided that we are going to try to see one every week. Although we haven't quite figured out how to tell if it will be in French or in English with subtitles until it starts. Even with the subtitles I am learning a lot.
I have also started tutoring a lady once a week on Mondays. Her name is Cathy, and she already speaks English really well. She wants to practice because her husband works for a car company, and it is likely that they will be moving to America within the next year or two. She is really nice, and it is nice to have an extra 15 euros every week...to pay for the laundry.
The roomies and I are going to visit Besancon this weekend. It was really pretty last week when I went there for my medical visit, but I didn't get to see much. They have a huge citadel, zoo and of course a cathedral. We are going to leave Saturday morning and then come back Sunday afternoon. It should be a good weekend. I just hope it doesn't rain too much.
Well, I guess I am off to fix some dinner.
Go MICHIGAN!!!
