so i expected to be off work today at around 11.30 with time to spare, getting lunch with some folks after heading back to the visitor center and filling out my timesheet.

little did i know i was going to get recruited by pamelaia, the tour coordinator, to give a tour to a family of four.

now that doesn't sound too bad; it's another two hours i get paid for, but it was a hard two hours, considering i had to speak to them in french the whole time. now, mind you, i haven't spoken french in close to two years -- the only time i really speak french here at cal is when i'm drunk with david or whenever there's covert operations going on -- so it was a bit of a "journey" giving the whole tour in french.

ladies and gentlemen, i will be the first to admit, my french really sucked.

they were rather nice about it, though; the dad actually acted as a translator for some words i couldn't pull. but i think i did well considering the circumstances; you just have to frenchify everything in the first place anyway. (anthropologie, biologie, mathematique, blah blah blah.)

lesson learned today: brush up on your foreign languages, because you never know when you'll give a tour for people.

in other more exciting news: the lot is going to see harold and kumar go to white castle today, which should prove to be very hilarious. i can't wait to see shereen, and of course, hang out with the four funnest people ever. we haven't done that in a long, long time.

much busy things to occupy myself within the next few weeks, spearheading into the first day of classes here at cal.

speaking of which, i have to register for the rest of my classes later this afternoon! i almost forgot my telebears is today!

the dilemma really is, should i take fourteen or seventeen units next fall?

sigh. lunch with jon, errands to run, and meeting up with the kiddie-kids. should be a good day.

yowza!
