Liam Smiles
So, Liam is one month old today, and smiled for the first time (that it wasn't just gas, that is). He's been practicing all day. That grin just makes me all gushy just looking at it, thus turning me into a lame gushy dad, but oh well. It's my right.
My French oral exam is Wednesday, and then I am finished with French. I 'borrowed' a few French novels from school (apparently, according to my teacher, they "have plenty and won't miss a few - no one reads them anyway"), including the French version of Lord of the Flies, a novel by Emile Zola (I almost ran away from it, but my teacher says I am definitely ready for it), and a translation of Ivanhoe. They will allow me to practice after the course is done, I hope.
We finished Harry Potter yesterday, which was totally satisfying, no matter what anyone says. You can't judge a series by plot inconsistencies or unanswered questions (see the Dark Tower series).
