Another day down.

Last night, I made my first call to the US. I called my dad on his cell phone to wish him a happy birthday. My phone card only gave me 17 minutes, so we didn't get to talk for that long, but I got to hear a little about the flood and sandbagging and all that.

This morning I straightened my hair. I haven't done that for a long time, either, and I realized how longg my hair has gotten! It's getting close to the length it was when I donated it last year! I might have to try getting a haircut in French. haha. That scares me a little, though. I'll probably make a mistake and tell the Coiffure I want it all shaved off or somethingg. hahaa!

First class of the day was Histoire/Géographie. That went alright. We finished up talking about different regions and then got some homework for next week. It's just a map that you have to color and label, so I'm actually able to do this correctly! haha!

After that I had French. We got our DS exams back and I got a "C'est bien" on top! We graded them ourselves, though, and I had mine set up totally weird, so I didn't get to find out my mark :/. I had just a couple errors as far as grammar and syntax went so, in my opinion, I did pretty good!

Mathhh was next. I understood nothing. I tried to follow the notes the teacher was writing on the board, but I eventually lost intrest. Mary threw a piece of eraser at me, and I threw it back, but missed, so I tried again with paper. This time, though, I didn't realize the teacher was looking and he saw me. Hahaha woops! He just told us, "Eh! Stop this instant!" He says that a lot, though, so it didn't bother me a whole lot. I just felt stupid for not paying attention before chucking the paper. Haha.

Last class of the day was Anglais Complementaire. UGH. Today we looked at an ad about drinking and driving. He asked some people if the image was a photo. Everyone said yes, including me. He said "I don't believe it is" and I blurted out "I DO." hahahaha! I back-talked to that guy! hahaha! He irritates me so much. He didn't catch what I said though, and I tried to cover it up by saying "What is it, then?" He told us it was a PICTURE, not a PHOTO. It had been created on the computer. (It was a broken wine glass as a stick shift in a car.) That really pissed me off. What a dumb question. Anyway, when he would ask us questions about what the ad was portraying or whatever, I would automatically want to reply in French. I feel as if no one would understand me when I talk in English and it is just weird! Talking in English feels foreign.

I thought it was a "B" week, so I told my host mom to pick me up at 6 (because I would have had French again at the end of the day). I ate lunch with Sabrina and then we hung out in the CPI for a while. Everyone was preparing for their CPE presentations. There were people presenting all day today and tomorrow. CPE is a component of the Bac. The students worked together in groups on a bigg project on a topic of their choice. They had to create visual aids and a speech and basically an entire lesson on their topic. Their speeches were memorized (I believe), and each student had to talk for TEN MINUTES. I listened to Mathilde, Kelly, and Jane practice their speech while Sabrina and Sherley polished up their powerpoint. Marion and her group members were in the CDI as well. They did their project on tornadoes. Sabrina's was on Nuclear energy and Mathilde's was on Cloning. It was really interesting. Did you know the FDA in the US is okay with us eating cloned meat?!! I seriously think I'm going to go vegitarian. That is disgusting.

Anyway, Sabrina presented her project at 3:30, so during that time I went on Facebook!! :D! I spent quite a bit of time on there, and then Justine, Gaeta, and Nicolas came into the CDI. I joined them at a table and talked with them for a while. When Sabrina returned, I helped her figure out a topic for her English Concourse. She wanted to do something with Native Americans, so I suggested Sacagawea. We found a little information on the internet and then it was time to go.

When I got home after school, I ate a snack and talked to Pierre a little.
Now I'm going to go help him with some texte thing. haha. I dunno, but he asked me for help, so BYE!
