Incoherent messages

Hi all,

If you're wondering why my last message stopped rather abruptly it's because the connection at this internet cafe isn't great. So I posted part of it, then before I could finish the connection went down for long enough that I decided to just leave. From now on when I update here I think I'll publish every paragraph to avoid losing paragraphs of text.

So last night when I got home I found a care package that Leah had sent me. It was nice sentiment but can I really eat 10 boxes of pocky sticks before I leave? I've been sharing with my housemates, friends, anyone who wants one, really. We'll see if I have to take any unfinished pockys with me back to Toronto.

Oh, guess what! Most of you don't care but I read a manga comic book and they have it here in French. They've published five volumes more than have been published in English. I was so excited - I'm such a nerd. Naturally I've already bought one and plan on getting the rest before I leave. I look at them as educational material.

So my plans for this week pretty much involve going to school and doing homework. Ooh, exciting. I want to go to Paris on Saturday so after I leave here (and pick up more manga) I'll probably head off to la gare (the train station) to see if I can buy a return ticket for Saturday.

School is going well. I enjoy it as much as one can enjoy school in the summer I suppose. That is to say that I'd rather be at the beach or in Paris but my competence in French is increasing while my proficiency in English decreases. ;) When I go back to Canada I'll just grunt and point when I want something. I suppose that's not all that different from before.

Hope you're all keeping cool. It's been brutally hot here but it's starting to cloud over and it's a little cooler. Oh air conditioning, how I miss you . . .
