Okay, I'm feeling stressed.
My friend who is defending her doctoral thesis in Paris today said that she should know by 5PM or so, Paris time, if she was awarded her doctorate. 5PM is 1700 hours. 1700 in France is 1100 here, or 11AM. Its now 3 PM. Not a word. If she didn't get it, she'll be devastated.
Trump is destroying the ideals of my country, and normal people are supporting it. Not just the bigots and racists, but normal people. And there's not a fucking thing that I can do to stop it. The GOP won't. And the Democrats can't do squat until they are in office, in two months. I swear, I just want to get the hell out of this country. Never thought I'd feel that way. Never thought we'd be this stupid, this incompentant.
The girl who stayed with us last year confirms she is coming to this area in December. She says she will stop by our house Not stay, but stop by. Because the reason for the visit is this guy she met while she was living here.
My French aural comprehension sucks. My Italian comprehension is nonexistent.
Makes me wish I drank.

Learning a language can be easier for some than others. If you are motivated give it your all and do not give up. I think we fail to realize that many people do not get involved in politics at their own risk and that many people have to work very hard to make their votes count. The good will win...I am patient.
I wish that I had your confidence.
