Spring is in the air!

Hey all, its finally warming up here in the Alps. People are still going skiing and such because the snow still sticks around high up on the peaks. The sun has everyone in a good mood and the students are striking (they say for political reasons but i think its to enjoy the sunshine = ) The main concern is a new law called the CPE. According to the CPE, an employer has the right to fire an employee who is younger than 26 during the first 2 years of their employment without a reason. Villepin (the premier ministre) hoped that this law would increase the number of young people being hired. What he didnt bargain for however what the strong reaction he would experience form the youth. Road blocks, protests, boycotts, etc have occured nationwide.
Time is ticking for me as i have about 2 months left in France. Im trying to think of everything i need to do and see before my time is up. For example today i tried a chausson aux pommes or an apple slipper which is like an apple turnover. Tres bon! In addition to getting everything in, Im job searching for summer. Ideally, ill find something interesting in Madison dealing with public health. I received another offer to stay in France another year to teach in a military academy. The director needs someone to teach english at this resortish school complete with swimming pool and tennis courts near a big city. So it would be more interesting that here UGINE POP 7000.... I would like to continue to speak french but i dont think i can handle french people for another year. Im going to sit on this one and think.. Hope everyone is doing well, take care.
