Another Friday the Thirteenth

And another good day!

Today when I got to school, there was a lady in a wedding dress walking around with a sign. Wendie explained to me that she was looking for a husband or something! hahaha! That was bizare!

It didn't start off wonderful, though. I had Latin at 8:00 this morning xP! I didn't even bother to take notes today. It was just a "wake up" class. Haha.

Next I had French! The teacher called on me todayyyy! It was really fun, though, because she articulated everything she said and it was an easy question: Who are the three characters in the play? I had to look, but I managed to answer alright. Haha, one of the names I completely butchered, but whatevs. She understood what I said!

We had an hour to chill before English. I spent that in the library talking with Wendie, Joy, and the Jeremies. Simon came up to me at one point and asked me for the conjugation of Etre in English. That was kind of amusing, although I did it wrong. Jeremy ended up correcting it for me. Hah. I've never done that before, I don't think.

English went well, I guess. I spoke more French to Sabrina and Joy than English, though! haha! We just went over a worksheet and stuff, nothing too interesting.

There were three hours between the end of English and my next class. I went with Joy and Alicia into town for the first hour. We stopped at a patisserie and I got a chocolate donut :)))! That was delish. We went to some other place and sat down to eat and talk. Then around 12:30 or so, we headed back to the school. The doors didn't open 'til one, so we hung around outside and talked some more. I really am getting good with my french. I seriously can talk like I would back home. It's so nice! I really missed joking around with people. You have no idea how quiet I was for a while. It was scary. Haha. Lately I have been able to keep up with conversation better, too. I followed almost the entire thing at lunch today, and was only lost for a tiny bit! That was super cool.

When the doors finally did open, I went and found Sabrina. She was in the CDI (library) working on her French homework. After she finished, we went and ate lunch with Marion, Laureen, Virginie, and today Claire, Valentine, and her boyfriend as well. That was fun.

After lunch, we hung out and talked in the foyer. I talked with Marine, who I haven't really spoken with much before. She's really nice, though. I got her MSN, so I talked with her again a little while ago. Jeremy, her, and I went up to English, round two, just before 3. This time, we had to write an apology letter. It was from a daughter who had left home after a huge fight with her mom. I translated a million phrases in that class. It was kind of fun helping out like that. I felt smart for the first time in a while! hahaha!

After English was Parcours. I guess I am in the class with all the smart people (I don't know HOW that worked out), but today the topic was Spanish. Since I don't take Spanish, I went with the other class and went over some French material. The teacher mainly talked for the first hour. Then we had a short break, and the second hour, I explained how our school works. Joy had asked me, so I drew a little diagram with the required courses, then the electives, and explained them. My teacher came over to see what I was doing, and so I explained it again. We talked for a good fifteen minutes or more. She's really nice. To be honest, all of my teachers have been great. Not one of them has been a jerk about how little I get done in class or how terrible my homework is.

Finally, the day was over. I took the bus home with Vincent, because my host mom was at the funeral for that one lady. That went alright. When I got home, I ate a small snack of bread and orange juice and then hopped on the computer. Now, Pierre and I are going to add more songs to his MP3 player (and mine!).
:)

Talk to you later!
