hips don't lie

bon jour all!
So pretty much I love my French class. Everyone is so funny and nice. They are mostly all better than I am at French which is hard but good for me (better than the other way around). The funny thing is that most of the kids speak Spanish so when I don't know a word sometimes I revert to Spanish and last year in my French class that was just more confusing for the person I was talking with. But here since they speak Spanish it's perfect (perhaps not so good for our French though...). Oh and today was so great because I had my first argument in French!! We were talking about music and I said that I loved Shakira and this other kid said he used to like her but that he thought she had sold out. Well then this girl Maria and I (nearly) attacked him! We just kept going off on how great her music is and what a good person she is. Unfortunately, when I'm arguing in French I am easily flustered and
so my grammar serverly deteriorates but I would say it's always worth it to attempt to defend Shakira's honor, regardless of the language.

For the past two days our teacher has been out sick so we've had a sub who I absolutely love. She is really energetic and focuses a lot on pronunciation which is really helpful for me since I frequently butcher their language:)

Tonight, the girls and I, and Claire's old roommate Jenna are having a classy night. We're all going to dress up super fancy and go to the Queen Elizabeth Hotel bar which is where john lennon and yoko had their famous bed-in. Hopefully that should be really fun. And then tomorrow I want to get on the metro and take it to some cool neighborhood and then just spend the day wandering back to the hotel. I might even pick up a few things along the way...

Well now I'm off to make a yummy sandwich,
au revoir!
