When we got to Ted and Christina's apartment I helped make a salad, and then everyone seemed to show up at once. I met two French students from Ireland. Their names are Laura and Sandra. (I WILL GO TO IRELAND SOMEDAY, GOSH DARN-IT!) There were 18 of us at the potluck. I didn't get to try my bread, but I heard it was good. This will give me an excuse to make more.
I am literally exhausted from trying to carry on a conversation(s) in French. I am zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZ.
I now understand why Esther told me to fast from eating food before church potlucks. I AM SO FULL :S .

I was having a lonesome moment for home when I got back, and so I talked to mom and dad on the phone for 2 hours and 1 minute. I also got mt package in the mail while I was talking to them! (SO EXCITING!) My foot file, tea and Advil cold and sinus have arrived safely to me. I am now drinking honey bush tea (I have become kind of addicted to it, thanks to Andrew Campbell), and also I am eating breakfast cracker. It is kind of like a grown-up baby cracker. (!) I am feeling a bit better today, besides the occasional feverish feeling. OK, that's all.
Well if you don't get to Ireland before we go to pick you up...we'll have to have some sort of stop there! I want to go to Dublin too! I also want to go to Greece. Hmm...how will we make it all happen. Was so nice to hear your voice and to chat with you. You'll have your sad moments but we'll help you through them.
