This week...



...is filled with fun and embarrassing things.

--working with a bunch of giggling toddlers trying to make them speak English when all they do is yell the few words they know in Spanish and Italian (as you might sense, I disagree with someone's pedagogy...)

--trying to lead a circle game and getting my hair stuck on one of their low-hanging-not-so-cute art projects

--having the directrice (no less) disentangle me from the aforesaid predicament

--going to the chrism Mass at the cathedral (the first chrism Mass I've ever been to in English or French), hearing the excellent homily on the new evangelization and seeing my friends

--keeping a smile on my face even though my computer is dead and gone for good (here's hoping the next one lasts a bit longer and that I can still get all my files off)

Things I will miss...
--la bise...but you all already know that :) I just can't believe how much I like it
--the French and their truly awesome selves...there really isn't a better way to put that
--speaking french with my roommate, dictionary in hand
--little kids speaking French and their amazement that I can understand them (even after they've been speaking to me only in french for two whole days)


Since life is incredibly busy with the Germans leaving, holy week, école maternelle and computer problems, I shall wish you a joyeux pâques :)
