Hello all!
So...the French teachers are on strike today meaning that there is hardly anyone here. But they kind of neglected to tell me that they were on strike, so I showed up to class this morning and there was no one there. Oh well. There are probably 10 teachers here today and scattered handfuls of students. My second class had 4 students. We ended up watching a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. I have two classes this afternoon and I hope they will be there, just so that today will not be a total waste. Anyways, the important part about today is that I got my carte de sejour!!! (my visa). I'm no longer an illegal alien...I'm a legal alien! But unfortunately it expires in February, so I have to renew it at the end of January. Grrr...French government... Anyhoo, that is one burden off my mind. So, praise God that I didn't have any problems during the visa process! I've been hearing horror stories from the other assistants. I also won two auctions on ebay!! I feel like such a cheater cuz I'm awake over here when the bidding closes while America is sleeping...so easy to swoop in and get something in the last 30 seconds...bwahahaha!!! Ebay is exciting...I should stay off of it for a while... That's all for now...I have class starting...

Hehe, those Euros and their strikes. Being legal is always spiffy too. That's sorta weird though, it only lasts, what 3 or 4 months?
Just remember the hidden cost of e-baying from France is in the shipping, hehe. Well, unless it's from within France I suppose...
Taylor! I wasn't born yesterday! I've been using ebay for years! And I just bought stuff from China with free shipping!!
Dang, that's pretty nice, how'd you manage that? Honestly, I haven't used it much myself, so I'm a bit of an online shipping newbie. I just remember checking out the cost of shipping anything other than priority mail outside the U.S. a couple months ago and being somewhat... alarmed..., heh. Kind of ironic since I've spent a fair bit of time living outside of the country, but what can I say? I live under a rock. ;p
Might change though, I went browsing the other day just for fun, and discovered that I could probably put together any period outfit I wanted from almost anywhere for a relatively modest fee; spiffiness!
