My First Love

As many of you know, a temporary lapse of judgment has led me to take a course in beginning Chinese this semester. While I know how important this class will be for my future in the business world, it has caused me to momentarily abandon my first true love...la langue francaise.

And oh how I adore everything French. Culture et couture. La joie de vivre. The urgency et vitesse with which love and move fluidly through life. And all of it is reflected beautifully in every aspect of their language. I adore the way that there are so many instances in which you can't even really translate some French into English without completely losing some of the meaning. . .it is the most spectacular language in the world and I would love nothing more than to speak it each and every day. So au revoir le Chinois et vive la francais!!! Or at least after this semester. . .
