Oh mon Diue, c'est un écureuil!

Translation: Oh my God, it's a squirrel!


And boy do squirrels pop up often in my life! I guess my obsession with squirrel came about on January 21st when Paige (visit her blog at: http://koolbeanzz.blogspot.com) came up to me in gym class and hugged me while proclaiming to the world, "Happy Squirrel Aprreciation Day!" Ever since then I have had a strange fixation with the Sciuridae family. They are officialy my new favorite animals (along with lynxes and wolves). Especially in French class. If I were to pull out some of my French writing there always seems to be a squirrel somewhere in there...examples:

Practicing the Future tense: Quand je serai plus, j'acheterai un écureuil. (When I grow older I will buy a squirrel.)

Environment Unit: I wrote about how it is important to protect our forest because many squirrels live in them.

Car Unit: I accidently ran over a phone and (while sobbing) I had to call an ambulence.

Career Unit: Je voudrais être vétérinaire écureuil (I would like to be a squirrel veterinarian).


and I'm sure I'vre written about them in many other minor homeworks. I actually yelled out in joy when I saw this is one of the class assignment we were (are, technically...) doing in class today. It's actually what brought about this post today. Go nuts with it:

Tammy et Bette ragardent la télé.Soudain, leur programme péféré est interrompu et un commentatuer announce: (Tammy and Better are watching television. Suddenly, their favorite program is interreupted and a commentator announces:)


"Une tornade vient de s'abattre sur Hubbard, Texas. Il y a plusiers victimes. Un tatou et un écureuil seraiend gravement blesss. Restez avec nous, nous devrions avoir plus de détails d'ici quelques secondes..." ("A tornado has just struck in Hubbard, Texas. Allegedly, there are several casualties. An armadillo and squirrel seem to be seriously wounded. Stay with us, we should have more details in a few seconds...")

They are so adorable. =]
 Not to mention how I encountered a squirrel this weekend when I was picking up a friend to go to the library (lol, how nerdy!) For some reason this squirrel wouldn't move no matter how close I inched the car! I had to back the car up and then drive around him/her! It was very funny how that squirrel was so persistent on perusing the floor for nuts! Squirrels. Are. Super. Amazing.



 Update you later,
