French Program

The French program is purty good because it involves stuff that we like to do like blogger. I think we like blogger because we spend alot of time on BEBO and MYSPACE. I also like the photoshop because we make funny pics and they taught us alot of useful info that we can use for web design or just to mess around with photos of people. All in all i think the French program is a good interactive program. GOOD JOB MATT, ALIX, AND FX. Oh FX taught me how to make BOOBS (eww!!!!) bigger.
