Last Night

Last night was much fun; I was able to get out of the house for once and stay over at Tracey's apartment. Here's a picture of Marianna (Columbian) with the boyfriend (French) of Erica (Swedish). I have quite the international connections.

Arlene (California) kept trying to get Owen (Kentucky) to smile, which he did only reluctantly. He's here with an entirely different program, since Louisville is the twin city of Montpellier, and they have some kind of exchange set up.



There's been a Telethon going on recently that's a huge deal here. It's like their one annual charity event. In every major city they have stages set up and televised things like crazy basketball, moto-cross racing, rappers, horses, you name it. They collect a lot of money and donate it to research.
I had no idea who this guy was, but people were going crazy trying to get pictures so I figured I might as well join the bandwagon. I asked someone who it was afterwards, and she babbled off some name as well as "on the television with a program called mumblemumble Witches". I managed to find what she was talking about (warning, in French). Apparently, he's the host of a show called "It's Not Witchcraft!", kind of a Bill Nye approach to simplifying science for teenagers. It's been going on since 1994 and still quite popular.

We went bowling today; more on that later.
