Gold Star for Marion

On my host sister Marion's third attempt, she passed her driver's test! Pretty much every French kid fails at least once, and its not uncommon to fail four or five times (and each time you take the test you need to pay an ton of money). Then she promptly went and got a ticket- on her first day. She went to her math tutor and parked in a spot that she thought was illegal, but her dad said it wasn't, so, as a trusting daugher, she followed his instructions. She was right. Now she has to pay either 11 or 33€.

Today is my 100th day in France! Time is flying.
