Number of weeks semester will be extended if the strike finishes any time soon: 6

Hours a day spent on facebook: up to 20

Bottles of wine consumed:…

French words learned: quite a lot actually, but most of them are things like “free range eggs” or “leek” or “corkscrew” or “hangover”

French words spoken per day: does “huh?” count as a french word?

Number of times “if I were a boy”, “liberta” and “poker face” play on the radio each hour: at least 3 times each

Clothes bought from H&M: approaching 20 items

Dvds watched: Impossible to count

Christina Aguilera “come on over baby” play count: 40

P.S. I just got a letter saying I’ve been upgraded from Sephora’s white Carte de Fidelité to their black one. This means I have spent 150 euros there. I wasn’t so much excited as ashamed.

Thanks. =)

P.S. Extending semester = yuck.

Also, we wanted to know how to say corkscrew in French, because we needed to borrow one - mind you, this was in early Feb... Still, how do you say corkscrew in French (for future reference)?

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that bouchon means cork or stopper or something to that effect.
