News from Indiana: a cow almost got ran over by a careless tractor driver who was going 12 mph in a 5 mph zone! Both the cow and the driver will have to go through intensive therapy because of the traumatism caused by the incident. The weather is still in the 30C/90F degrees, which, in my humble opinion is WAY too much for september! I made a great chocolate cake but since I am socially handicapped, I have to eat it all by myself, which causes my stomach to experience some serious heartburn… My students are driving me crazy but what’s new? My teachers are too, and there’s nothing new there either… I have decided (for the 200th time) that I am NOT meant for academic life, stress, pressure, and intense competition. Hence the chocolate cake, it helps in case of serious depression! Listening to Video Killed the Radio Star does too. And to the Brahms’ violin concerto. Yesterday I watched Todo Sobre Mi Madre again, which really isn’t the best movie to watch if you are already depressed, but it’s really a GREAT movie, watch it if you haven’t, and watch it again if you have, it’s All About My Mother in English. Makes me wanna go work in Spain. Maybe I will, it’s far enough from Switzerland and at the same time close enough… Now I’m listening to Puntos Cardinales, makes me miss Guillermo even more than usual, and makes me wanna go live in Spain even more! I LOVE Spanish, goodness gracious, I must have been a spanish cat in my previous life!! Ohhhhh… it smells like rain!!! Could it be possible?????? I believe I might have a virus on my computer, which I doubt, but I’m scanning my entire computer for a virus and it’s taking HOURS! Isn’t this entry completely random? I like that! I feel random these days. I read about sociolinguistics, eat chocolate cake, miss my family terribly, buy music online, read about parking lot and dormitories budget problems, bake lemon tarte, read Health magazine, go to class here and there, chat online with Bruno and Fabio, write articles about I’m not sure what, work on my webpages (you should go see my new website for my next semester’s 106i section, forget to pay my bills, listen to People Are Strange by the Doors (they knew me?), eat blue cheese and tuna sandwitches, wonder what my friends all over the world are doing and don’t write them because I’m just lazy, teach from time to time, paint my nails and un-paint them right after, call home every day to try and speak with mon chouchou de Nils, read Pigs in Heaven (amazing book!), wonder if my students have understood the concept of « doing homework, » curse night and day because of Purdue’s parking problems… now, isn’t THAT a random life?? Bailamos…

Hey my friend! Your website looks great! How’s the new semester going? I bet its nice to be teaching international students, but I’m sure it has its challenges as well. I miss you, my friend! I still don’t have my computer set up yet so I’m emailing from work (at lunch). It is so wierd not to be teaching anything whatsoever! I don’t even know how the ELC is going or if things have changed much since Dr. Anderson became in charge (self reflections, anyone?). I gotta get back to work. Take care and enjoy the Swiss chocolate
