[This entry is written on scrap paper]

Bonjour! J’ai oublie’ mon saque avec Anouschka’s friend (I left my bag with Anouschka’s friend) so I don’t have my notebook. It’s Saturday here and we’ve been with Nathalie all day at the mall. Hier (yesterday) we ate steak n’ stuff outside with all of Anouschka’s friends. It was the big joke when everyone knew I lusted after Rachelle [sic] so when she came home everyone giggled.

Christine said that here they say “In the pocket” (“C’est dans la poche”) if you want something (or someone) that feels the same way. I talked with her a little while and she loves (the band) Screeching Weasel. C’est mon groupe favorite! We went to a big discoteque last night and it was cool! Just like a big rave! We talked with Anoushka’s friend Francois all night and he is so cool! I love the French language and I understand it so much more already. We’ll see what happens tonight- I have no idea yet! Drinking?! Problamon! /

It’s 3:10am and we just got done talking to Anoushka’s mom about shit en Francais. Rachelle [sic] was supposed to be home at 1:00am but she isn’t home yet. I feel bad for her mom and I guess I should be mad at Rachelle [sic] but I can’t. I know it’s only because I like her so fucking much.

Tara the photogenic trooper!

Christine

After I wrote the stuff above I went downstairs and watched T.V. with Rachelle but nothing was on so I asked her if she wanted to listen to some music. She said “Oui” so we went into Anouschka’s room and listened to Screeching Weasel and Sloppy Seconds and read Anouschka’s yearbook from Appleton East last year. She est so cool to talk to but I still wanted to jump her right there.

Then we went to Christine’s house and ate and watched a movie {It was 'Dirty Dancing' en Francais}. After that we came back here and chatted with Anouschka’s mom.

I can’t wait to talk to Rachelle [sic] tomorrow!
