French, Texas, and Jokes

Taking Spanish was forced on me in eighth grade, and at the time I thought it was fun to even being learning a new language. Little did I know, it was something common and not at all rare. Well the excitement wore off during my sophomore year in high school, this was aided by my Spanish teacher Mister Woolner. I hardly passed the course and thankfully I was done with my second language requirement. French was always an exciting concept, however the teacher at my high school was labeled as the worse language teacher of all. I was actually able to see this in action--once. Therefore when college came along I knew right away which language I would choose this time to fulfill my requirements. My first year of college is now complete and I now know the basics of one of Europe's oldest languages.

Texas use to make me think of steak, sun, and dust. However, I had more sun and steak on my recent cruise, than while I was in the state of Texas. Dust and tornadoes seem to be above Texas, but no where near the tiny island I am on. So what does Texas now make me think of? Religion, manners, and sweat. Starting with manners, or the lack there of, many Texans believe they have manners, however they never seem to notice others around them. In addition to their lack of manners, their strong belief in religion allows them to close their minds to anyone else's point of view or ideas, which to me, is a another way of having a lack in manners. Now to sweat, it has not been pleasant to walk outdoors and start sweating the second I am out of the door. All of these make me not really care to visit Texas ever again. This state does not have much to offer me anymore.

While on the carnival cruise ship, I was given many jokes to make me laugh. I received a healthy dose of laughter daily. Some of the Jokes from the past week, plus some are scenes/jokes from TV shows:

There were two muffins in an oven together. One muffin said to the other muffin, "Wow, it is hot in here!" and the other muffin said, "Oh my goodness!!!! A talking muffin!"

Well that is all for today--I think.
