My new house!

I live in a new house! A real house - not an apartment. I even have my own bedroom. Have a look-see:
I also have this cute little bookshelf, so that now all of my books can see the light of day:Credit goes to my beautiful mom for helping me get moved in and organized. You are the greatest!

I also have a new job teaching French 101. My class is great - I love my students, I love teaching, I love making a fool of myself to pull a good Bonjour, comment ça va? out of a frightened Freshman. The job takes a lot of work, but it's always those things we invest the most in that we get the most out of, right?

Anyway, I get to do all kinds of silly things for my job, like make pictures on Microsoft Paint (which I haven't had any excuse to do since 7th grade...). Last week we learned how to talk about nationalities and professions. Here's the evidence:
"Il est président.""Il est mexicain."

Plus 9 other equally ridiculous images. I had so much fun. Love love love my job.
