This is what I do when I'm bored:

I search the Internet.

Like today, I was looking through AngloInfo (I forgot how much I loved this site) hoping to find some people in need of dog/babysitters. Like how I just lumped young children and animals together in the same sentence? I promise, I'm responsible...

Anyways, I saw an ad for a group of people looking for a baseball/softball team in Antibes and Sophia Antipolis!!! Oh, oh oh, PICK ME. Didn't I just finish writing a post a few days ago about how much I miss softball?? I think they're reading my thoughts...

But I also decided to pass the last 30 minutes just clicking on any and every posting that caught my attention from the site. For example, there are a bunch of 20 year old girls looking for a drinking buddy. Not sure how desperate I am to meet new people.... There's a group of creative writers looking to get an informal club together and assign a topic to write on each week -- that's a post I definitely replied to. Supposedly someone up in Valbonne is offering Provencal cooking classes on the weekends. All really neat activities I never even thought about until now.

Then I started testing out the waters putting up my own ads. For example, if anyone has a second-hand bike they want to get rid of I'm willing to spend about 50 Euros or less to take it off their hands.

I could be getting a LOT of random (perhaps exciting) emails in the upcoming few days.

And I've also been getting pretty involved with my April travel plans. It's a little sad to think that's my last vacation here, but I've found flights from Nice to Munich, from Frankfurt to Madrid and then Madrid back to Marseilles for probably a total of 150 Euros all together. And since I have nice people willing to house me, I wouldn't have to spend a dime -- excuse me -- centime on housing.

Germany and Spain here I come baby! I just need to download a few more Spanish podcasts and get back into the groove before then. Wait, what groove, I only took 10 weeks of Spanish?!
