sharing wine with my professor

i just played with the title for a minute or two, writing and deleting, writing again. i'm pretty anti-informative title for my blog. i like for it to be something that'll catch your eye or that will make you go, "huh?" like a confused puppy.

there are SO many cute puppies here. it must be puppy season, because i see a new one every day.

i'm so easily distracted. that's probably why i've been in the computer lab for an hour now, but haven't done anything more than look at headlines for my comm paper. i have to research/write about something having to do with media globalization. hellooooo huge, sweeping topic. i don't want to look at something that says globalization is bad, because i generally think it's a good thing. i like that we're all super connected and i like googling my name and finding some embarrassing column i wrote for the nexus. i like that i can find out about anything i want in the click of the mouse and tap-tap-tap of the keyboard. i suppose i could do something on blogs again, but i already did that...i SHOULD expand my horizons. but then again, it's be easy to recycle some of my info from my blog paper, and it'd lighten my load...bah. we'll see. i'll have to decide by friday.

last night i went to dinner with my french class. it turned out to just be 6 of us + our prof, so i guess that's not really the "class" so much as a handful. anyway, i thought it was gonna be awk and not very fun...we were supposed to speak in french the whole tim. and besides, i'm not really good friends with anyone in my class, so i wouldn't have anyone to really talk to/i'd have to make stupid small talk the whole time.

FALSE. i had an absolutely fabulous time. i got to the restaurant at 7 and didn't get home till 11:30. i didn't even notice how quickly time passed. i had a delish meal and we shared 2 bottles of wine between all of us. OH and i enjoyed my first french créme brulée (i think that's how you put the accents on that). we spoke very little french because we got caught up in conversations that were far too complicated for our elementary french. it was refreshing talking to new people and getting to know their stories. i get high off meeting new people. that's a new requirement for whatever i decide to do when i grow up...i must do something where i get to talk to different, fascinating people all the time. that, and playing with kids. can i combine those?
