"Okay everyone!", said Nathalie, our seminar leader. She's the one who keeps everything in check and, well, leads the seminar., telling us what we do, when we do it and all that other jazz. "Welcome to your second seminar. I hope you all had a nice and short travel." Nathalie was around 30, still kinda young, but she definitely lead a few...
Ahhh…this is the life, John thought as he was riding his Harley down a country road.

Your votes, comments and private feedback mean the world to me, so please leave them on the way out.
