Nothing new really

I dont have anything new to report really. I just thought I would write and let you all know that I am still alive. I am just trying to struggle through classes and its not all that easy. Sociolinguistics, when taught in French, can get kinda confusing. And in my Francophonie litt class, we are reading an adapted version of Shakespeares " The Tempest" . So its like Shakespeare...but in french. Gives me a giant headache if you really want to know. Anyway. Trying to figure out Prague (whats new right) and my bag situation between the end of the program on Dec 20th and when I come home Jan 6th. All these travel things are really difficult. Its not really the get up and go type of things people lead you to believe about Europe. Its actually a lot of planning. And when you dont have internet at your apartment...well that makes it even harder to figure out because I have limited time and funds to do so. Someday everything will be settled. Just sitting around watching the exchange rate change everyday and having a daily heartattack. And someone pointed out today that pulling all my money out of my American bank account and putting it in the French one I have isnt really helping the American economy too much now is it? Whatever. The economy hates me and I hate the economy. Mostly because I dont understand it. Isnt that always how it goes though... Anyway yeah might have to buy a big ol' hiking-like backpack and be one of those crazy looking people travelling from town to town. We'll see. I dont even know what I am doing tomorrow. Jade goes to Munich tomorrow for October Fest and Ill be all alone in the apartment with my German roommate who cleans like there is no tomorrow and you wouldnt want your apartment to be messy at the end of the world now would you? But it just makes it uncomfortable when you put something down and they MOVE it and then I cant FIND it. Life is rough I know. Internet soon? Anyone anyone? Please, France, Please? Just do something on time; just this once?
