It's a Good Day

So today rocked for the following reasons. I'll put them in order from exciting to excitingest (yes, I made up that word, but I'm an English major. I'm allowed to make up words and pretend they're real. seriously, what else is the major good for?*)

1. We talked about relationships in class today. As relationships are my forte as a future trashy romance novelist, I understood everything that was being said. I was actually able to talk about things. Which led to...


2. I talked in class so much today that my teacher (who formerly used me as the example for "timid") said, "Look at Meghan! She's speaking so much today! It's like she's a different person!" Only she said it in French because I'm taking a French class.


3. I met my roommate! I think I already mentioned she was from Spain. She doesn't really speak much English, but between French and Spanish we communicated really well. I was nice to have someone understand my mixture of French and Spanish. (I seriously can't help it if the Spanish words slip in. French and Spanish are like the same language only the French don't pronounce any of the letters. It's like "Let me take this long Spanish word that should be seven syllables and make it two.") She sympathized with my problem, saying that learning French had made her forget a lot of the English words she knows. She's from Madrid. She said there hasn't really been anyone in my room before because the other girl that was here left after three weeks last semester. I'm lasting longer than that.


4. I bought laundry stuff for my clothes. So now I can wash my clothes again! (Side note to all the horrified people thinking I haven't washed my clothes since I left a month ago: they were cleaned right before I left Tours two weeks ago.)


5. We're going to the Opera tomorrow, and I plan on fulfilling my dream of being kidnapped by the Phantom of the Opera who conveniently resembles Gerard Bulter:


6. This MADE my day: Christine, my bestest friend in the whole wide world (bestest is also totally a word), is coming to visit me this weekend! I get to see her on Friday!!!!!!!!!!! Yay life!

*Disclaimer: English majors are good for many jobs because they help you write better and many companies like when their employees can communicate well. English majors should not be considered burdens to society or be referred to as "the future unemployed people of America."
