The Watergate Scandal and a Refined Accent....

My host mom is holding a sale at her (our) house of clothes that her friend made herself, so today and tomorrow there are lots of random people here. Which is strange...especially when everyone is like "oh you're young, why are you here?" and I'm like "uhh...i live here..." haha but that's okay. 

So I have relatively exciting news. So I was talking with my host mom's friend today (explaining to her the Watergate scandal because there was a special program on TV about Kissinger and Nixon) and she's like "wow you explained that really well" and I said thank you and then she said "you have a refined accent, it's very pretty" which is about as high of a compliment as you can get from a French person!!! YAY ME! Well that's pretty much all that's happened. I have a midterm in French lit tomorrow that I hope I'll do well on, but I've been having trouble paying attention in the class because my teacher goes off on random tangents that has nothing to do with French Writers -- well on occasion, but for the most part, not so much. Anyway I'll probably write again this weekend! I miss you all!
