Halting

So I took a big step and I called the Socialist Party member in charge of "equality of chances." My French is horrible and it was embarassing. If it was in English, it would go a little like this: "Hello, here Jennifer Miller who is student doctoral." Pretty bad, eh? Non! It was not as bad as my call to SOS Racisme, when I had the guy at reception spelling out an email 5 times (and I still don't think I have it written down correctly). I deserve it for being so smug.
