Almost Made It....

I have 3 days of class left - 2 RER tix/day.....been using the half-price tickets even though you have to be a kid or have a card that qualifies you. Today I got stopped by the police. Fortunately I'd been rehearsing my speech for just this occasion.
I'm a student, here's my student card. No, it's no good. But don't students get discounts? No, it's no good. Hmmm, not a great conversationalist. You pay 25 euros. Uh, ok, how do I do that? (as I'm on the train platform, no ATM) Do you take cards? Yes. Dammito! Then another one of the 15 police comes over, they have an exchange in which I catch that I'm American and I've given a lame excuse. :D BUT, the outcome: You go buy another ticket and no fine. YAY!!! Only now I have 7 tickets that I can't use, and I have 6 more times to ride the train. That's 10 euros! Oh well, better than 25.

My greatest strength is seeing the best in you. My greatest weakness is remembering the best in you.

Don't think for a minute that my lack of posts means I've forgotten all of you....I miss you all like crazy, including the one I 'yoinked' the title for this blog from.
