I'm still here....

Hi Everyone!
No, I haven't fallen off the planet. I'm still here! Life has gotten nuts. I've started summer school! Yes, you heard me....summer school! Dave and I decided we needed to learn French more quickly than we were, so we are taking a summer French class. So...we are in class 4 nights a week for 3 hours each night, for 6 weeks! Can you imagine? Plus homework and lab time. We need 5 hours of lab time per week! And to top it off, I am taking a yoga class for 2 hours each morning. And amongst all of that, we do need to actually keep life going by working (go figure), and house chores, etc. So needless to say, we have absolutely no time left in our schedules for the fun things in life like making phone calls, seeing friends, and blogging.

In spite of being so busy, we are really, really enjoying our classes. My yoga teacher is so good that every time I walk out of class it's like I just got a massage. I was talking to another girl in the class and she said that when she walks out of there it's like she is walking on air. I've tried a lot of yoga in my life, and this is the first time I am truly enjoying it. Yippee!

And I our French teacher is really fabulous. She is so entertaining, but challenges us to our limit. I love that. I talked to her a bit about my fear of not being able to get along well in France because of my language capacities and she told me not to worry too much about it. She's from Paris and she says that even there now, everyone speaks English and as long as I am trying to learn, people will help. She really put my mind at ease.

And our classmates in the French class are terrific too. It's so much fun to meet people and find out why they would spend so many hours of thier summer in French class. Most of them have a true desire to learn the language, so we are all over-achievers. It makes the class very exciting.

Anyways, I just wanted to fill you in on why I stopped blogging. I'll say hi periodically over the next 6 weeks to keep you updated.
