Il fait froid aujourd'hui

Ok, i admit. This shocking orange/lime green template is a bit too much for me, but damnit, somehow i think it would do me good. I just have a good feeling about it.

Three interesting happenings, some are just silly. I had a really early morning meeting, so i headed off to school after i grudgingly woke myself up (this verb by the way is always reflexive en français, and i completely get that!). As i was driving, i saw this grey/black dog on a leash, just that it was not a dog, but a tiny bear! Seriously! And i live very close to downtown of a very big city, so the chances of a roaming rural bear is slim to none. I am pretty sure of it although i confess i was kinda half-asleep.

And then coming back home, i saw a datsun fairlady! Whoa? I thought they were extinct! Those of you who don't know me, i have a thing for cars. What can i say, i have to turn my head when i see a beautiful form, car-wise. But fortunately for me it doesn't go any deeper than the form, much like an artist's appreciation for a beautiful woman. Meaning, i don't feel a need to experience them. Hehe, like i can even if i wanted to!

And then i met someone who might one day end up being related to me. Lots to take in. Unsettling, in a way. All in all, i liked him. He is one of those genuine ones. That's good news.

With the conference behind me, i can devote more time to other stuff, like french. So i went to the french lab today and listened to the tapes. Although, a particular voice on the tape :-P always makes me not pay attention to les tâches. Hmm. I wonder if one can make themselves fall in love? Wish one could. Then i would make myself fall in love with my prof. That relationship has great potential for success. He is a mature guy for one, although he drives a motorcycle and wears leather pants at times. Can anyone say Ross? haha, hopefully he never lands on this blog or i may just lose my status of l'étudiante favori. Nah! Anyway, he has a child's smile and i can see his soul, which is the important thing. Perhaps some day?

The conference was a great success. The attendees want more of these, the grantor wants to raise our funding and use our work as a system-wide model. I always think it's funny how the attendees always dote on me, men and women alike, and why not, I can chat with equal ease with a little baby or a vice-chancellor of an educational system and make them feel equally at ease. It helps that i am equally adept at singing a lullaby or delivering a speech, and that i am great at bringing diverse people together and making them listen to each other. Huh, I guess j'ai de la chance en général. Except when it comes to picking the right men. Am i right, mr. jones?

LOL.
