Long time no post

I haven't posted in a long time... probably because nothing really interesting has happened in my life. I'm just going to school and hanging out with friends. Nothing big.

I did get to meet the baby of one of my best friends. Her name is Charlotte and she's pretty much the most adorable thing ever. She is almost two months old and is such a happy baby. She was very content sleeping in my arms with my soft sweater. This only made my "baby fever" even more intense. Scheisse. I want one.

I'm on a total mission to find Charlotte a baby comb/brush

for her full head of hair (which so has a red tint to it)!

I also started my teaching gig for the semester. I teach English to native Spanish speakers. The woman I am teaching is named Maria. She is 21 and is married with a 3-year-old daughter. She has only been in the US for about a year and is a cook at a restaurant. She is trying so hard to be successful here but is having trouble because she has no one to help her learn the language. Talk about a hard life... I hope I can help her out!

AND... I got an A on both my first French test and our French recording we had to make of us speaking French. I guess I just totally rock at foreign languages! :)

Oh and I'm in desperate need for a traveling buddy. I need to travel somewhere fun this summer... I was supposed to go to Puerto Rico since my parents and I were skipping out on Europe (*tear*), but now my parents are skipping out on PR too. I HAVE TO TRAVEL! I'll seriously be sick if I don't. No joke. I'm a restless soul that can't stand to be in one place for a long time. 2 years is waaaaay past my breaking point. So travel with me! Liz! Andrea! Christina! Allison! Anyone! I'm up for anything!

OBAMA!

Yesssss. Finally. Barack Obama is now officially the president of the United States. And holy crap does he have a huge job ahead of him. As for George W. Bush, I will kind of miss him. Sure, he didn't exactly make the best decisions 90% of the time, but I won't criticize since there is no way I could do any better than he did. And I'll sure miss his funny little sayings and actions (like the time he tried to open that locked door in China - HAHA).

Mr. President, please fix the effing economy. I'd like my dad to have a job. Thank you.

En el gimnasio con Erik Estrada...

Since I've already posted what my French lessons have been like, I figured I'd let you see some videos we watched in my Spanish Phonetics class. Pretty much I'm trying NOT to sound like this guy...

One Semester of Spanish: Love Song

2nd Semester of Spanish: Spanish Love Song

..... I think this guy is pretty talented. And he's making me look for an excuse to tell someone "Yo tengo sangría y un pequeño perro para tí." ("I have sangria and a little dog for you" for all you Gringos)


And on another note, WHY IS IT SO EFFING COLD?! Seriously, it's not supposed to be 18 degrees when I head to campus for class... and I'm in the south. What happened to Hot-lanta (I hate that nickname for ATL) and all that??

Alien Encounter??

CLICK TO MAKE IT BIGGER!! (For the full effect of giant UFO) :)

Ok, don't think I'm crazy, but I swear I saw a UFO today. No joke. I was driving home from my sister's house and I just glanced up into the sky and saw someting that was REALLY flat and long with 3 lights on it. I mean it was HUGE!! I thought it could have been a weird plane (with the air reserve base nearby), but I've never seen a plane that big. If it was something with the ARB, they should so send this thing overseas in Iraq. This would scare the SHEISSE out of our enemies and the war would be game over.

I figured I should draw my own rendition of what I saw. Notice the position in which I'm being beamed up to the "ship". Two words: anal probe. (I know I wasn't actually beamed up by the UFO-that-was-probably-a-plane, but that would have been awesome).

Parlez-Vous Français?

I just got back to my apartment after attending my first ever French class. I have always loved French; the way it sounds, the country it comes from. But I'm a Spanish major...

As for my performance in this morning's class?? Just call me Joey Tribbiani...

Je m'appelle Claude. Je te floop flee.

What? That's not me... what are you talking about?

Ok. I'm getting a bit pissy because my internet isn't working right. However, it is working well enough to show me the embarrassing pictures of me from Katie's wedding... oh joy.

Bill Kaulitz with dreads?? Oh no...

I hate looking at paparazzi pictures of celebrities on vacation, but I couldn't help it with this one...

Bill Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel got little dreads in his hair while on vacation in Spain. I'm beginning to think he's gone crazy.

Am I lame for freaking out so much? Oh I hate them... I miss his old hair. And he is TOO SKINNY! EAT SOMETHING! AND NO MORE TATTOOS!!
