you're never going to believe this...

but my school has computers. haha...and i'm on them right now...

i met with Mme. Graham this morning for the first time and she seems nice so far. We also met one of the head admin guys & the Headmistress. There was a lot of "oui oui" and "bonjour." I hate this feeling of always being 3 steps on behind because I don't understand all of the language stuff. Nevertheless, I shall persevere until fluency...let's hope it's next week!

There is so much paperwork to fill out...it makes me want to be a black market English assistant...forget all this junk about "justificat de logement" and "proces-verbal d'installation", I just want to talk to some gullible children!

Also: Mom & Dad, for your trip to France, I think it would be helpful if you had International Driving Permits because there will be no car at the Griffith's home during the time you visit. This means I can't pick you up at the station unless we rent a car (which we'll probably have to do.) So anyway...it takes only like one afternoon and $10...

bye for now!

Hey Amy,
It's good to hear from you - I was thinking about you when I was making the wash piles and I thought - oh she has probably put in her school day already. It's good to hear that things are moving right along for you. I'm sure that you will catch on to the language right quick. You never did like not knowing what was going on!! Bill Martin told me that had spent a night at the Griffith's when he was in Europe with John Yordy. He seems to be quite interested in what you are doing. Well it is October and I need to get my act together for our trip. We may start shelling corn today - it all depends on when Kenny Sellers can come. Hope you have a good evening and let us know what the phone # is at the Griffith's so we can call you sometime. Dad thought that if we make arrangements with each other on ahead - then we shouldn't cause too many problems for other people. Last night he downloaded skype but that is all the farther we got.

That is really cool, do you have a lunch break with the computers and if so when. O and the Fwench seem to be rather nicebut your wanting to talk to gullible children may not be that good, they may talk faster and pronouce french words worse than the people you met already. What does it take to get an international driving permit and what all can you do with it?
