Spent most of French watching parts of movies. I want to see The Closet! I must find a good place to rent French movies...apparently I can somewhere in the library. I also want to see a lot of Audrey Tautoe's movies.
The rest of the class was spent trying to figure out the technology. All the boys except 2 went up to figure out the VCR and DVD player.
I was tempted to help...after all, my dad only had to explain the 3 remotes used in our downstairs theater once for me to get it...but too many people crowded around one TV can become its own problem.

So, I've started to read Walden. Thoreau and I do not agree on much. I also think if he were to *pop* come back to the land of the living in the modern day, he'd have a heart attack and die again.

THUNDERSTORM!

HAIL!!!!!!!!! It was well into the 70s this morning and there is HAIL outside! It looks like this before it hits my window:
