All I have wanted all day today is a pain au chocalat. It's this French pastry. It's pretty much a croisant with chocolate inside, and it is sooooooo good. I was sitting in math class today and the idea of eating a pain au chocolat just came to me.
And it sounded delicious.
I think I would be absolutely, completely, as satisfied as I could possible be with my day if I just had one.
Thinking about pain au chocolat makes me think about my friend Elisabeth, from Austria. She's wicked cool. We're friends on facebook, but I really miss her. I only knew her for four weeks, but I feel as though we really connected as friends for those four weeks. I think we would be really good friends...if it wasn't for the fact that she lives on the other side of the ocean...But, still, sometimes I wonder if she misses me as much as I miss her. I told her to visit me if she ever comes to the U.S., but I remember asking her and our other friend who was German, if they thought any of us would ever see each other again after we all went our separate ways, back to our separate countries. They both said no. I was all ready to be say, "YEAH!!! WE WILL TOTALLY SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!" BUT NOOOOO. They just said, "I doubt we'll ever see each other again." That just made me really depressed, and I thought they were being a bit cynical. Although I guess it's realistic.
But anyway. Elisabeth speaks English so well. It's so incredible. I mean, she speaks English better than I speak French, plus she speaks French almost as good as I do, she speaks Spanish, she speaks German as her native language, and she can read, write, and understand Latin. I just think that's so amazing. She thought it was nothing! We really start foreign languages way too late here. I don't mean to sound like a pretentious snob or something, talking about how sophisticated Europe is, but we really should start learning foreign languages earlier. It makes so much more sense. I have this enthuisiasm for learning languages. I wish I could learn every single language. Which is impossible really, and half the languages I would probably never even have an opportunity to use, BUT STILL. It would be sweet.
Anyway, this is awfully long.
