your daily news report straight from Angers

Breaking news from the Université d'Angers...the strike has been prolonged until at least March 29. Which means that of the 31 days in the month of March, students in Angers will have actually been in class for no more than 6 days.

Elsewhere in Angers, or rather, everywhere in Angers, the sun has also declared a strike, in refusing to show us its beautiful face for three days now. We'll see how long it can hold out, hopefully it's not quite as stubborn as French college students.

In sports, Mallory Piehl was once again victorious in Scrabble contests, yet held winless in poker battles against James Killick and Stephanie Bunch.

As for the economy, we've witnessed the return of amazingly low prices on the Multi-Vitamin juice at the Super U, stock up kids, it'll only last for so long, and you've got another boring week ahead of you. Also, Milka chocolate is being sold at season-low prices, go for the multi-pack, you'll inhale that Belgian goodness.

And in entertainment....haha, good luck. Finding entertainment in Angers is like finding a word that rhymes with orange. Equally impossible and fruitless endeavors.
