"En Francais! Maintenant!"

My French class is incredibly difficult for me to be in. Not that the work is hard, because it isnt - it's all simple conjugations and such right now. It's just that I cannot understand what the teacher is saying! My comprehension is tres... poor.

I talked with Gerard, my Egyptian roommate, for 4 hours yesterday. We talked about everything, from schools to economy to religion to the meaning of life. Quite engaging. And then we got in trouble for talking too loud, too late. This is the downside of having a 52 year old yoga instructor named Lucy for a landlady/roommate.
