A Red Letter Day

Dear Friends,

Today Jane and another of our classmates gave a great presentation and lead an excellent discussion on the issue of whether or not there is extraterrestrial life.  They had done a lot of research, and Jane was very convincing that with over 200,000,000,000 solar systems in our galaxy and over 3,000,000,000,000 galaxies in the known universe.  It is improbable that there is not extraterrestrial life.  Everybody except one person was won over by Jane's argument.  It was a fun discussion and now Jane is finished with her presentations for the course.

In another first, the main course for lunch today was rabbit.  Neither of us had had rabbit before.  Now Jane is the only one who has not had rabbit.  It was quite good.  It appeared that we were served only legs, and they looked and tasted like a chicken leg.

Now that I hang my laundry outside when the sun is shining, carry my trash and recycling to the container on the corner, eat rabbit, shop every day in different stores for dinner, walk everywhere I go, etc.  I must be French except that my French is still really not that good.  We went to the movie at school tonight.  It was a romantic comedy, all in French without subtitles.  Fortunately, one of the instructors gave an explanation before the start and from time to time during the movie.  It was fun to watch, and I could follow it with the help, but I did not understand the dialogue.

Tonight was the last movie night.  Tomorrow is the last morning to watch the news together and the last presentation.  We have only two laboratories left.  It is getting quite sad as we face the end of school and all going our separate ways.  We are giving a party for our class on Thursday night.  We will have champagne etc. but it will be sad as well.

More later,
Jane and the Unabashed Liberal
