yes we can & yes we did!

Salut!

Yesterday was the inauguration of our 44th president. Though I am in France, I was able to watch it on television (granted, it was a poorly translated to French version of the inauguration, but nonetheless, I saw it) and found it incredibly moving. I can taste the hope & inspiration my country has even from across the ocean!

This guy is goin' far:

(and what a cutie he is!)

Talk about joyful journeys...just look at the joy seen here...could they be any happier? :



This picture was taken from www.lemonde.fr, and I love it because it shows the political leaders of both the countries I am "living in" at the moment...

"Que Dieu vous bénisse et bénisse les Etats-Unis d'Amérique"


In other news, during this time of change, I too am changing -- my class schedule! The French University system needs work (i.e. both the classes I had this week were cancelled for no reason, there is no organization whatsoever...), and I'm struggling trying to pick classes. Time heals all, I keep telling myself. I have two weeks to officially decide, but as for now, I don't have any classes scheduled on Mondays or Fridays. Four-day weekends every weekend??! C'est pas mal. 

That's all for now.  I have to go do something about this strange craving I've had all day...literally, this is all I want right now:



Until next time,
feel joyfully fine,
MG
