well, i do believe there is a french club here. i just happen to be the somewhat anti-social type. rather, it was easy to be in various spread-myself-thin organizations in college, and i just haven't gotten around to it in the real world. (and although i have done my share, i think i've fallen a little short of my november 2004 resolution to do anything and everything in my power to fight our president simply because i haven't joined any clubs.)

i've been fortunate enough to study in europe through a couple of programs: one, during one summer in high school - a seven week home stay with a family in france, plus classes, and we weren't allowed to speak a word of english the entire time. the other, my alma mater has a campus in luxembourg, so i did a semester abroad and spent every weekend in a different country. fortunately, i didn't have to learn luxembourgish because the people speak mostly french.

funny about languages, isn't it? i've never learned a third language, but i definitely believe it would be hard to keep them straight. i've tried to communicate with people who know 5 and 6 languages, and it gets tough! the best part about learning french, though, was that it helped me understand english so much better - even grammar.

i had the biggest crush on australia when i was growing up. tell me about life in the great big Oz, please.

So the Habs won today---they must have cheated.
