Au jour’d hui j suis alleé a la classe française avec mon amie, Amy. I took French for 4 years in high school, so today when attending French class with Amy, le professeur included me in the discussions and dialogue amongst the students. Not only did I feel pressure to recall long-forgotten French vocabulary, but even when asking for clarification in English, I had little additional comprehension because of their thick Aussie accents or slang.
Class was in Chatswood, so we spent a better part of an hour getting from and back to the apartment. We finished a bit of shopping just as all the school children were getting out of class for the day, so there was a train full of uniforms with us. I am on a mission… I would love to find the store that sells one of the school girl uniforms that I’m seeing all over Sydney: a pink dress with a Peter Pan collar and 6 burgundy buttons on the front. It’s very cute and I could easily wear it in Boston next spring. (Please refrain from making any school girl uniform comments that would embarrass me and my mum, who will likely be reading this too.)
Aussie Word of the Day: ellies = elephants (noticing a trend yet?)

You should look on ebay for the dress! Maybe someone might have one they don't need anymore! ps: I think you should take a picture of it, next time you see one.
