well, its friday. enough french lessons for one week, im burned out. today i had to give a presentation on life in the US of A...in front of the class, in french!! mon dieu! but i muddled through somehow, and everyone seemed to really enjoy it, seems the Swedes in particular are enamored with America. the french of course, are not so crazy about us yanks. you wouldn't believe the misconceptions my professeur had!! i think i dispelled them, she even said she forgot i was American, thought i was Swiss or Italian at first, which is a high compliment for the frenchies. i reassured her that the loud jerky american guy in our class the week previous was also thought of as a loud jerky guy in the states as well!
