I Slept In!

This morning, my ipod did not go off to wake me up. I looked at the alarm and realized I'd set it for 5:50 PM! Merde! My host mom came up about 10 to 7:00 and woke me up! I took a shower and got ready in 20 minutes! For me, that's pretty incredible. I thought I was going to miss the bus, so I didn't eat breakfast and instead grabbed some cookie things and breakfast bars to take with me. Hah, it was just like being in Fargo again. :P

Latin went by like normal; I tuned out after the first ten minutes of jibberish. I found out that the girl next to me has studied Latin for FIVE YEARS. Hah! I am on my SECOND year and I'm in a class with people who have been studying it for fiiiiive years! No wonder I feel like an idiot!

French was next. We read some story thing and then discussed it and took notes. Then we read a scene from a play. I really can't tell you any more than that. Lol.

The next two hours were spent in History. I understand that class again! We're talking about immigration and emigration within Europe. It's really interesting to learn it from this perspective, because we just learn about American immigration. I was the example, too. I emigrated from the Etats Unis and immigrated into Europe, for now. My teacher couldn't remember my name at first and had to ask me. It took three tries before she finally understood me. This happens with a lot of people, and it gets kind of frustrating. I try to say it with an accent, but I guess that needs some work. Haha. Normally one of my friends ends up saying my name for me.

My next class wasn't for a couple hours, so Sabrina, Bryan, and I went to the snack room and I bought something out of the vending machine. I think it was a chocolate waffle? Haha, it was good though, and I was starving! We talked to some other people until about one, when we met Marion, Virginie, and Laureen at the cafeteria for lunch! Today I had a croque monsieur, fries, yougurt, and some kind of pie thing. :) :)

After lunch, Sabrina, Bryan, and I went to TPE. The class worked on their projects. I think they are pretty close to done, because a lot of people are finishing up. Sabrina gave me her math to copy :P and then I worked on the history homework a little. It went pretty well. I talked to Sabrina and Shirly and also got a lot of work done.

Two hours later, I had French again. I handed in my Manon Lescaut paper and my teacher told me that it was great! haha! I think what she meant is that she was happy I tried, not that the paper itself looked great, because it didn't. It was really messy and written in pencil because I kept making a million mistakes. hahahaah! If another student were to turn that in, I think it would have been returned immediately. Lol! We talked a little more about the scene from the play we read earlier, took some notes, and the day was over at 5:00.

I talked to Alicia while I waited for my host mom. When I got home, I chilled with Pierre and Tequila a little in front of the TV and now I'm online. Not a whole lot to report.

au revoir!
vous me manquez!
