mes excuses

Sorry I haven't been writing much. I've been trying to concentrate on my application essays....

I managed to slice my finger open opening a can on Saturday and I've been going around with big impressive bandages on it. Not that I've been waiting, but I find it funny no one has mentioned it, even though my entire right hand is now stained bright red-pink from iodine abuse. Now if someone at your work was walking around with a big bandage on, you'd ask what happened, right? Just as a matter of conversation. I'm not offended...I'm just wondering if there's some French conversational rule about not mentioning such things. I'll keep you posted.

Vocabulaire:
Montfortière- hot air balloon
Saute élastique- bungee jumping
taboulée- tabouleh
éosine-iodine
aïe!- ouch!

Life lessons: If the ring breaks off of your can, use the can opener. Don't try to pry it open with a knife. Not without wearing leather work gloves.
