Where does the sun rise?

So Saturday, as I was sitting in the café posting my last entry the weather outside began to look a little crappy… dark skies, a brisk wind, the temperature started to fall and you could just smell rain. So the group of us that had accumulated as usual at Café Cozy decided to head out. Juli, Tessa, Caroline and myself headed to Champion (French Kroger’s) to pick up some stuff for dinner last night. Since Bernard was at a party with his girlfriend and told me he wasn’t coming home I decided to invite a few friends over for a meal and to watch rugby. It ended up being the four of us plus Olivier, who’s an actual French person who we are friends with, who ended up having dinner. We made some killer crêpes starting off with some ham, cheese and egg crepes, followed by some dessert crepes with Nutella. We also bought some munchies and Olivier brought a couple bottles of cider which just made the crepes that much better. After cooking up a storm we settled down to watch the rugby match which ended up being quite the blow out. Either way, it was a lot of fun and we enjoyed ourselves. After the match was over we watched French music videos for a while then everyone went their ways.

I’ve really started to give some thought to staying for 9 months, but the more I think about it the more I realize that it just would not be a good idea as far as my “K” career would go. If I stayed 9 months than I would most certainly have to overload one of the quarters my senior year which would end up having to be senior year spring… something that I want to try and avoid at all costs, if senioritis in college is half as bad as it was in high school I’m going to want the lightest class load that I can possible have. As much as I think I would like to stay for the year and possibly into the summer I think I’m going to have to go home for spring quarter and who knows maybe come back for the summer with an internship or something.
I watched 300 today for like the 20th time or something but its just such a good movie and being that it was crappy today it was a movie day for sure. Here’s a few quotes that I enjoy:

(Leonidas and his 300 are marching when they run into the Arcadians who are numbering much more than 300)
Daxos: We heard Sparta was on the warpath and we were eager to join forces.
Leonidas: If it is blood you seek, you are welcome to join us.
D: But you bring only this handful of soldiers, against Xerxes? I see I was wrong to expect Sparta’s commitment to at least much our own.
L: Doesn’t it? You. What is your job?
Arcadian Soldier: I’m a potter…sir.
L: And you, Arcadian. What’s your profession?
AS: Sculptor, sir.
L: Sculptor… And you?
AS: Blacksmith.
L: Spartans! What is your profession?
Spartan Soldiers: A ou A ou A ou
L : You see, old friend. I brought more soldiers than you did.

Xerxes: Consider the fate of your women.
Leonidas: Clearly you don’t know our women, I might as well have marched them up here judging on what I’ve seen so far.

Xerxes: Your Athenian rivals will kneel at your feet…if you will but kneel at mine.
Leonidas: You are generous…as you are divine…O king of kings. Such an offer only a madman would refuse. But the uh… idea of kneeling.. well its… You see slaughtering all those men of yours has uh, well its left a nasty cramp in my leg..so kneeling will be hard for me.
Leonidas: Men ready your breakfast, and eat hearty for tonight… we dine in hell.

That is all for today.. Much love and miss you all
