suprises around every corner...

this country never ceases to amaze me...this morning i woke up to snow...snow, people!!! it's april!!! i couldn't help thinking about the book i just finished reading last night, the secret history (ok, i should say rereading since i read it just a few months ago...what can i say, i really liked it)...in the book they murder a friend and leave the body in the woods to be found but because of a freak april snow storm the body is buried and isn't found for nearly a week...don't worry, i'm not ruining any plot here, this is all explained in the first few pages...long story short - book: great, snow: weird....

i came up to school on my day off to check some emails...it's not uncommon to see packs of students standing in front of the school smoking marijuana before class or on their breaks...what i didn't expect to see was students sitting in their car, drinking beer at noon...and it looked like they had been there for a while based on the display of bottles surrounding the car...now, keep in mind, all of this is taking place not more than 10 feet from the entrance of the school...i can only imagine if the same thing happened outside an american highschool...i'm sure there'd be several local news reports, lots of angry parents, and probably a law suit or two...long story short - teenage drinking in america: all hell breaks loose, teenage drinking in france: eh....

alright, enough for today...natalie is off to lille in a bit to finally finish watching sex in the city season six (i've already seen it, miriam and carolyn haven't and i've really been enjoying torturing them by "accidentally" letting the "ending" slip)...i wish you all a fantastic weekend

gros bisous
