Went to campus today to get some forms for all the "Reading and Conference" classes that I'll be taking next year. Looked at the "Summer Term Office Hours" listing. By my name it says "By appointment only" and then under "office" it lists "Lyon, France." Yeah, I'm gone.

Fondue tonight. So good, so bad for Gina. But hey, it's mostly French. Then McMinamin's with Jen and Jen's boyfriend Sean. Lots of beer and tater tots (which we could hardly eat, due to the fondue). Lots of fun.

This morning, after actually figuring out what had happened (thanks NBC), I had to go through the process of figuring out why channels were airing "regis and kelly" and "the View" instead of covering actual news that matters. For once. Apparently, re-hashed "hot topics" are more important than learning about what's actually going on in the real world. Way to go, other major networks.

People, my mom still thinks the new blog should be called "An Amish Girl in France." Please try and prove her wrong (Colonel Mustard, in the kitchen, with the candlestick. Can you prove me wrong?)
