Not much has been going on here. I have today off because it is a holiday. It is actually the anniversary of the end of WWII in Europe. It is also raining today, so I haven’t been up to too much. Maybe tomorrow the weather will be nicer, so I can do something.
The presidential elections were held in France on Sunday, and yesterday in my schools all anyone could talk about was the new president. Nicolas Sarkozy won the election, but from what I have gathered this area was much more in support of Segolene Royal, the Socialist candidate. French people are more open about their politics, and they love to talk about them, even the kids. I don't know how many kids asked me who I voted for. I had to explain to them that I can’t vote in France. Then they all had to tell me who they wanted to win. I don't remember being that interested in politics when I was 9 or 10 years old!
Also on Sunday we went to see “Spider-Man 3.” I thought it was pretty good. It was really happy because I found that I could understand it easily. There were even parts where I wouldn’t even realize they were speaking French! It is exciting to see how I have progressed in the last 7 months! I have seen other movies in French here, but I think this was the easiest to understand yet.
Yesterday I went to get my hair done. I really needed a trim because I hadn’t had it cut since the beginning of January, but I was a little nervous about getting it cut in France. I have seen some disturbing hair styles since I have been here.
Sarah and I decided to just go get it done, so we made appointments at Atmosp’Hair. (It still makes me smile every time I say it.) The French love to put English words in wherever they can. In the end I think my hair looks all right. It is a little shorter and choppier than I would have liked, but it could have been worse. I could have come out with the ever-popular European mullet!!
Also I have updated my Web site with the pictures from Barcelona, Rome and Venice so check it out when you have the time.
