I totally forgot it was St. Patrick’s Day until just now!

And ironically, I wore green today! hahahahaha! What are the chances of that?!

Today I got to school, went up to my Latin class, and NO ONE was in the hall waiting. In fact, there was no one on that floor at all! I went downstairs and wandered around the yard until I found a couple people from my class. They told me we didn't have class today. I have no idea why, but the important part was that I didn't have to sleep through a Latin class today. Hah.

Instead, I hung out in the yard with Sabrina and Virginie for a little while. It was another nice day and I didn't wear my coat today! All I had over my shirt was my Columbia sweatshirt, and I was comfortable. I think it reached 60°F again :D! I love the weather here, although I can see the summer getting really hot :/. After a while, though, we decided to go up to one of the empty classrooms to hang out. Joy, Wendie, and Valentine were in there, too. We all hung out and talked for a while. Sabrina had the second semester grades for the entire class. Like I said, here that's not really a private thing. I couldn't resist checking it out. My name was on the list, but I hadn't a single grade! Haha, I really didn't do any work to hand in the first couple weeks, so that's probably why. Although I did do an oral presentation in English, so I should have had a grade for that, but oh well. I don't really care.

At 9:00, I had French. We notes on the book we read over break. Sabrina taught me how to format them "right" (they set their notes up different). That is all I remember. Hah, sorry. I was (and still am!) really tired!

After French, I had two hours of History. I had a quiz today to start out with! It was 20 points and I for sure got 3! Hahaha! There is a good chance I got a little more than that, though. I answered all but 3 questions. After that, we just talked and took notes. We did a short worksheet, too. I had to answer a question today, and I didn't know how to say "1,4" so I just said "un" then made a comma with my finger in the air and then said "quatre" haha! Unfortunately, that was the wrong answer anyway, so that was a lot more trouble than necessary. Oh wellll, I learned that a comma in French is called a "vigale" (or something like that).

Next, I had an hour of Ed. Civiq. Juridiq. Soc. which is something like government, I thinkkk. I only have it on B weeks, so this is my second time around. It's in the same room as history, so that kind of sucked sitting in there for 3 hours straight. We talked about the 5 French Republic a little bit today, and then did a worksheet.

FINALLY it was lunch time. I this was my only break of the day; just one hour for lunch. Laureen was gone today, so it was just Sabrina, Virginie, Marion, and I at the table. I had rice with a beef sauce and then strawberry yogurt and a dark chocolate pie. :)

After lunch was TPS with the history teacher. This class normally goes for 2 hours, but everyone has already finished their projects, so only one hour was used on practicing presentations. The students have to present their projects in front of an admin next week. Any points over 10 go toward extra points on the Bac. So for example if you got a 13, you would get 3 points toward the Bac, but if you got a 9, you wouldn't get any points. Most of the people didn't practice a whole lot though, and instead there was a lot of conversation. After I wrote Jaeda a letter, I joined in on that, too. Haha. The second hour of class was spent on MORE history! I really don't mind history, but three hours of it in one day is a little much.

I ended the day with a second French class. We went over the book some more, and in the beginning, Sabrina and I just talked a lot. Then my teacher asked me a question. She asked what state New Orleans was in. I honestly could not remember for a little while! She thought I didn't understand her question, so she rephrased it, spoke slower, and then said, "State," in English. hahaha! It finally came to me and I was able to answer, "Louisianna!" Lol. I spent the rest of the class copying Sabrina's notes (and talking a little :P).

School was over at 5 for me today. After my host mom picked me up, we stopped at Grandma's house to visit. Grandma forgot who I was exactly, and asked where I came from and how long I was staying. About five or ten minutes later, she asked the same questions again... and again. haha! We didn't stay too long, and after we left, my host mom and I went grocery shopping. SHE BOUGHT PEANUT BUTTER! For those of you who don't know, that's an American thing and is about as popular here as Nutella is in the States. It only comes in little containers and Skippy is the only brand. We got a few other things as well, and then checked out.

When we got home, Samuel (Annick's son) was there visiting with Pierre. After unloading the groceries, we talked for a while and then he left. My host mom has a meeting tonight (and every night this week), so Pierre and I are chillin' out. He's watching cartoons on TV, so I thought I'd hop on the computer for a bit. I can only take so many cartoons, lol, and he's got an entire schedule planned out. When my host mom is home, she makes him change it to something else for me, but I usually can't comprehend much anyway, so there really is no point.

That's pretty much it for today!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
