okay, i seriously need someone to email me with some information about what the eff is going on over there with the election. last i heard (and i have very little access to media during the week and not really enough time online to search out the news) the conservatives were 10 points ahead. ?!?!?!?!?!?!
so one of you smart people please send me a little digest of what's going on.
not really much to add, sorry to say - we had a petit soireè last night and were allowed to speak english for once (not that we haven't been cheating like crazy anyway) but again today trying to speak only french. it's difficult to have a complex conversation about politics for example with such a limited vocabulary. we can get so far and then it's just frustrating and we'll lapse back into english. after trying to speak only french for a couple of hours it always amazes me how quickly we can make a point or tell a story in english.
i would prefer to speak french only, all the time, but i don't think that's possible - my roommates are pretty much total beginners and we always seem to lapse back into english at the end of the evening.
still, i feel like i'm already making progress and i think that after 3 more weeks i'll be pretty comfortable and hopefully able to understand television and radio and continue studying on my own.
