Snow! and other sundry items

Yes, it's snowing! I'm very excited. It actually sleeted for a few minutes yesterday but this has been going on for an hour now and it's actually staying on the ground. It's going to be miserable going out these days.

BUT, I'm going to be back in Santa Rosa for a non-white xmas! I bought my ticket last night and I'll be arriving Thursday, Dec. 22 around 8:30pm. Offers to pick me up at the airport are welcome :)

I'll be around through Dec. 31 and hopefully will be able to sneak some champagne onto the plane. I'm not going to pay $5 for their crap! Sigh ...

What else since last time ... made it a relatively early evening last night -- caught the last metro! My Irish friend James came over for dinner at the cafeteria because we're both lazy and where else can you get a steak and fries for 3.20? And no dishes! After a beer or two we went off to a club Claire had told me about and checked out a funk band. The club was nice, kinda lounge-ish, but it felt empty. The tables just weren't as packed together as I'm accustomed to. We didn't stay long though. Just two guys having a beer, enjoying the funk covers, but too exhausted to go wild or whatever we should have done if we were real party animals.

Friday during the day I actually went to my 'Political Issues' (Enjeux politiques) class for once but fell asleep halfway through. But I did take some decent notes! I missed that last two lectures because the first one was just so bad that I couldn't be bothered to go back. Can't remember if I've mentioned it here before but the guy is some famous, important philosopher and knows what he's talking about, but he's a horrible professor. He sits behind a desk and speaks with hardly any emotion or variation in tone. His sentences are really long and he goes off on all these tangents and it's hard to figure out when he gets back to the main point. It was less bad yesterday but I was so happy when it was done.

Today, I really should be doing all sorts of stuff instead of taking pictures of snow and updating my blog. So I guess I'll go do that instead. Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

See you soon!
