another day, another strike
France knows how to do it. Strike, that is. And it will continue for something like the next 15 days. Yes, most of the metro unions are on strike, as are major universities, postal workers, teachers, and even the tobacco shop owners. How does the country continue, one may ask? I for one have no idea. I just take the automated metro line. I'm pretty sheltered from it all actually. Except I have to walk a little longer to get to class. And there's more traffic in general. At least now I can burn off all those crepes.

That IS pretty crazy. But then again, it IS France. I read about it in the news and was like, man, they know how to make a statement. Apparently UMASS Amherst students are trying to do the same thing, although they just didn't go to class for two days and marched into the financial building and filled it up so much that the school closed the building temporarily. Then I'm sure they went out and rioted and drank lol.
So you must be excited about Mom coming to town!!! That should be a ton of fun.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
Love you!
