one roommate last year was fluent in French, and one was taking classes, so i picked up some just by living with them.
THIS YEAR, i’m living with a French girl! she delights in teaching me, she thinks it’s funny. and my other roommate from last year, still taking classes, is helping me with grammar and things that Berengere can’t explain in her slightly broken English :-)
so i’m learning a few words a day. i pick up languages pretty quickly, and i understand at least some of the rules. i just want to learn all the words i can! i have a pretty limited vocabulary right now… i know the colors, pickle, cake, chocolate, car, plane, boy, girl, cat, dog… stuff like that. hahaha. but it’s a start! :-D

i went camping this weekend and part of the fun was going to a waterfall (kent falls, connecticut) ... there was a trail , which we started hiking, but then adventurous friend #1 and i eschewed that plan (aka, eff that) and waded on in, and then clambered on up the rocks, all the way to the top! and we swam under the waterfall and jumped and splashed, and stood on the rocks and looked out over the whoooole waterfall (well what we could see, it goes around a bend) and felt like we were alone in the world and it was simply marvelous. and really cold. ahhh, life!
