day #2

first of all:

h a p p y b i r t h d a y ,
N A T H A N I E L!!!

hope that you are having a good day celebrating two decades of amazingness! i'm sorry that there is no magical package in your mailbox for today but i'm sure that your crazy friends will have cooked something up for you!

my second day at school has been pretty good. my schedule is a lot like college: i only go when i have a class. so today i had classes at 11am and 3pm and after that, nothing. so it leaves me lots of time to read and explore and FILL OUT PAPERWORK. ugh, i hate paperwork and i have to go get this one thing fixed because it says my name is Martin Amy.

The kids have been super nice but I'm convinced that high schoolers don't change anywhere, and neither do librarains. They are kinda nosy and kinda pudgy...I wanted to laugh when I saw them.

The phone number at the Grif's house is: 03-85-80-10-07. I think you have to put 011 and 33 in front of that too. And leave out the first zero...lol...Everyone in the house speaks English so you can just ask for me and it won't be a problem!

(An intl driver's permit is $10 at a AAA office and lets you drive in another country. It's basically jsut a translation of your license which says that you're allowed to drive in your home country.)

It's been extremely windy and rainy today in Le Creusot, but thankfully people (Griffith's or teachers) have volunteered to give me rides so that I wouldn't be soaked.

Oh, and I had to talk about the Amish today because even the French news has picked up the horrid story. It seems so disturbing and odd. Let me know if you ever hear what the motive was...

Alrighty - off to fix this paperwork(ugh) and then to walk home: let's hope it doesn't rain!

much love,
amy
