Revelation

While talking to Dan tonight using an international calling card from my favorite beachside phone booth – I had a revelation. We realized that I would be home in exactly 3 weeks (21 days) meaning that I have been here for 40 days thus far – since I am here a total of 61 days. Yes, I counted before I left.
Anyway, it dawned on me that 40 days is the same amount of time as Lent… which THEN got me thinking even further. During Lent this year I gave up bread & cheese, but had Dan with me by my side throughout that time. Now, though, during this pseudo-Lent (40 days as of today), I have unlimited bread & cheese, but I don’t have Dan.
How come I can’t have BREAD & CHEESE & DAN all at the same time?! These are only 3 of my favorite things!! Oh well. Just thought that was interesting.

USA! USA! USA!


Luckily, this doesn’t apply to me – as I’ll be watching it in real time at a much more reasonable hour (live on tv @ 8:30PM over here in France).
Also, I’m strongly considering / pretty much most definitely going to wear my American flag t-shirt tonight…and probably every other time the U.S. plays this World Cup. I packed and brought it with me solely for the purpose of wearing it on my flight home to the U.S. after 9 weeks abroad since it falls on the 4th of July — only the most patriotic day to return home to the states. However, now that World Cup fever is beginning to hit – I may have to whip out the stars and stripes slightly sooner than expected.
This is what my shirt looks like.

Irony

French strikes on every form of travel during our program’s “travel weekend.” Ah, France.

So…in regard to my LAST post…let’s just change it to, “I hope to be at the French Open” (and so does the 80euros I spent on my awesome ticket).
Currently I am camped out in Nice airport – and am so far on my second delay of the day. I HOPE there aren’t any other delays. Dear god, I hope there aren’t any others.

Lo, Hearts Behold

Well, that failed. I logged into our techy little online site for about 5min before my French internet said, “Non!” Sorry, Jeb and Mrs. Davis. You know I was there in spirit.
