Turns out, student protestors are really damn annoying.
I'm about to get my own personal billy club if the anti-CPE riots don't stop. Read, er, this if you think a CPE is a Crappy Parisian Excuse to protest.
There's rumors of us holding a vote as to whether to "go on strike" from school next week.
( Wait..students can go on strike...from school? Bad ass! Should've done that in middle school)
The vast majority of uni's in France haven't been in school for 2 months or so.
As nice as that may seem, this is bordering on absurd. Damn socialists.
I may be turning slightly conservative with age, but I just don't care. Goodnight.
Oh!
And a pic-y from Dublin from St. Patrick's Day with Keith! Rest are on el facebooko.
See, 'cause in Dublin, when they gather in large masses they drink and dance and sing a lot. Bless their hearts.

"The jobs law, passed by the legislature this month takes effect next month and will allow employers to fire workers younger than 26 years old in the first two years of employment without giving a reason."
I have a different opinion concerning the protests in Paris. Above quote is from the article on CBCNews and it's the reason, why I think the young french have every reason to protest. This is capitalism gone too far in my opinion. Getting fired without a reason within the first two years of work? Where are the employess' rights in this? Can You imagine living in Paris, beeing forced to pay Your rent, when everything may seem fine at work on friday and monday You're suddenly unemployed? Doesn't seem fair to me.
France needs to wake up and realize it needs a more flexible job market.
Sky high unemployment rates are at least partially due to the fact that employers can't fire their (under performing) employees.
Again, call me a heartless capitalist, but France needs to wake up and keep the CPE.
