sorry its been...two months My computer broke

Hello americans and others living in the maybe American, probably western, maybe english speaking world of high speed internet and dominos pizza (but who are we kidding, pizza hut is so much more greasy and delicious) How is life? How is my life, you ask? My life is not too bad. My most recent large tragedies were the "Dickinson hates me and decided to schedule all of the classes that I have ever wanted to take during the same two timeslots" tragedy, which led me to be pissed off for several days, and the "power went off while I was alone in the apartment so i couldn't find my keys and had to spend the night there all by myself in the scary darkness" tragedy, which was also not too bad because the power came back on at eleven pm, after i had spent several hours reading on the porch by the light of my cell phone and being nibbled by misquitoes, and then i watched the style channel until three in the morning which was wonderful and trashy. Other recent occurences with me include a recurring dream about burritos and a slightly increased tolerance for being 'la blanched.' At some point today I really very much hope to be able to pick up a brand new acer netbook from Amb. Garvey, but I have no real way of contacting her, sadly. Wish me luck.
Until la prochaine fois (oh, ps, i can sort of speak french now, or at least I pretend I can)
