Six days to go

Well, Sarkozy is the next president of France. Can't say I'm terribly surprised. I hope that this doesn't set the tone for France during his presidency:

...several thousand of his opponents gathered about a mile away in the Place de la Bastille and the Place de la Republique, where they threw stones and bottles at police who fought back with tear gas and truncheons.

Four vehicles, including a bus, were set ablaze in Argenteuil, the immigrant district where Sarkozy made his infamous scum remark. There also were reports of scattered violence in Lyon, Nantes, Toulouse and Rennes.

Anyway, I'm leaving in six days. Yup. Gotta clean my room, buy a few souvenirs, visit a few places I haven't seen before, send another package of extra stuff home, and prepare to navigate the wilds of craigslist.

I had the final of my gender course today. Harder than I expected; hopefully I didn't fare too badly.
