this morning i opted to get a cup of coffee and enjoy a view of the bay as i polished my class syllabus instead of working at school. met a french guy and it made me want to move to france asap. while i have been contemplated working abroad in a few years the urge had remained below the surface until today when french became comforting. not sure why. one friend decided i fit the profile of a francophile and i wouldn't go that far. anyhow i managed to avoid enough distractions to complete my course syllabi and meet a few new people in teh process. including a few people from the south end row club and they tried to lure me into train to swim around alcatraz or at least come down and check out the club. i think i will soon i am interested in rowing and sailing right now but swimming in the bay when it's this cold. you never know. after my 2 hour coffee camp out i caught a glimpse of alcatraz on my way back to school and i have decided to train for a marathon on land first.
