I thought this was funny.

This is an excerpt from my notes from an April meeting about studying abroad.  I was going over them today and couldn't stop shaking my head at my former (and, let's face it, present) self.  The bold bits are the comments I scribbled in the margins.

Women and Study Abroad
- French men can be more forward (Frenchmen y'all)
- follow your gut instincts and leave uncomfortable situations
- www.journeywoman.com 
FRENCH STREET GANGS <---this should not excite me...

Safety
- responsible for abiding by student laws
- avoid theft (FRENCH PICKPOCKETS!!!)
- keep a low profile

Note: Don't let Joyner drama cripple your Franciness


Anyway, I was amused as I read back over the notes.  I guess if I ever encounter a real French street gang I will be terribly put out if they don't have top hats.

I'm glad you laughed so hard, but I'm sorry things got so violent!

no no my dear. It was so well worth it.

You should that my computer did not fully load the icons, so yours reads: " Monparnassi MariusR Manlove" I know the Montparanassi-enne part got cut off, but that was the BEST mental image EVER.
