It seems as though there are going to be train strikes on Thursday -- the day my mom and sister get in to the Nice airport. So what does that mean? They'd probably have to either figure out the bus themselves (with all their luggage) or pay over 60 Euros for a taxi to Antibes.
But instead, my school is having an afternoon field trip for the CE2 classes to go the the movie theaters, while the CM1s are going to see The Golden Compass in the afternoon -- which, by the way, I totally pegged Nicole Kidman to play in when I read the book for my children's lit class three years ago. So, my afternoon classes are canceled! They offered to take me along and I really wanted to say yes (as well as the students, they really wanted me to say yes too) but then it occurred to me: I can go to Nice and meet my mom and sister at the airport!
Then we can all take the bus back and only spend about 8 Euros total. Plus, they'd have two more hands to help out with the luggage. Not a bad deal. AND I'm not working in the afternoon, so we get to hang out or I get to stay downtown while they sleep, or something like that.
It's also now occurring to me, if the CE2 classes are going in the morning, does that mean those classes might be canceled too? If so, then I get the entire day off! We'll have to see how it goes on Thursday...
Another way in which I struck gold today involves more American t.v. I guess after Grey's Anatomy put out its two-part series, it kind of stopped being available on Limewire. So Aimee sent me to this website that hosts hundreds and hundreds of t.v. shows in their entirety. The latest Grey's was finally released and I've been trying for days to download it. The other night it took me two hours to load about 30 percent of the episode. In short, I've probably watched Episode 10 in fragments about six times, but only about 75 percent of the episode.
So today it linked me to YouTube, where I found the very same episodes instantly! I didn't have to wait for them to load. Thus, I finally got to see the end of the most recent Grey's as well as the second-to-latest Private Practice.
There are some things being in France makes me miss :) Otherwise, once I start losing more weight (i.e. stop eating so much) I'll be perfectly content.
MY FAMILY'S COMING IN TWO DAYS!!!

I remember reading that book in high school, not realizing it was such a huge deal. It was a great book but WOW do you have to have an imagination to read it for fun!
