A Short Note...

I think I've been here too long. The other day on the metro there was this girl sitting across from me who I kept finding myself thinking was quite weird but I couldn't figure out why she gave me this impression. All of a sudden I realized what it was, she was smiling! I couldn't believe that I now thought smiling people were weird, but apparently I do... what's going to happen to me when I get back to the States and people who I don't even know say hello to me? I'm going to think the whole country is insane!

Other than this, it's been a fairly quiet week so far. I've been working on finalizing the menu for the Thanksgiving Dinner I'm cooking on the 30th for my host mother, two of her friends and my friend Abbey. Tomorrow I'm returning to the American grocery store to purchase Libby's canned pumpkin and perhaps another goodie or two for personal enjoyment (mmmm peanut butter M&M's!) Well I'm off to Versailles on Friday and who knows what Saturday and Sunday... I'll try to write Sunday night!
