"Is England in Europe?"

"NON!"...at least according the instincts of the class I observed yesterday. Luckily, the teacher quickly corrected them and they all grew that much smarter. Anyhow, the observations went well, and I even passed by my school today when they were letting out, and the students recognized me and said "hello!" What cute little kids...

In other news, I've had a lot of time to walk around Nogent and see what it has to offer. The weather has been beautiful...at least after 12:00, once the sun comes out and warms up. In the mornings, it's so cold you almost need a winter coat and gloves, and then after lunch, you could wear shorts and a t-shirt and be quite comfortable.

Tomorrow is the big day of training, or "la formation". I will go to Chartres on Thurs. then Orleans of Friday to see what exactly I'm supposed to be doing here.
