I'm Still Feeling Tired and Lazy.

It didn't help that I didn't get home til a little after midnight last night, either, but it was really fun, so I don't care. I went to a Bak Folk dance thing at the Salle de Fêtes in one of the neighboring towns and learned a lot of traditional French dances. It doesn't sound like something someone my age would be into, but it was fuuun! There were a lot of older people, but Simon, Antoine, Vincent, and Jocelyn were there as well. I tried a bunch of different dances, and actually did alright! There were a coupld dances that you switched partners for, and some of the older guys got really into it. One guy added a million twirls in and I seriously got dizzy and nearly fell over. Another guy turned me so fast that my feet came off the ground and I was flying! hahahaha! That guy kind of scared me!

This morning I got up kind of early (9:00) so that I could go on a walk around town with my host mom and some of her friends. They're currently working on the town's budget for the year, so that involved taking a walk and deciding what needs to be repaired, updated, cleaned, etc. On the walk, my host mom pointed out a hole in the sidewalk that was all roped off. She told me that in November they found 2 soldiers from the first World War down there! I guess an electritian was digging a hole and ran into a femur. They obviously then conducted a search and found two more femurs, which indicates that there were for sure 2 people there. They found some other stuff too, but I don't really remember it all. Anyway, that was big news in November.

Just before one, my host mom, Pierre, and I went to Annick's house for lunch! Luc was in town for the weekend, so he and Grandma were there, too. We hung out by the TV and ate crackers, nuts, and little ball things while we waited for the meal itself. Annick gave me a cookbook! It's got 50 entrees, 50 main dishes, and 50 desserts in it, as well as an intro on place settings, table decor, and how to put together the perfect meal. I was pretty excited about that! I really wanna cook, now! The pictures look soo yummy :)! When lunch was done, we ate a veggie pie thing, turkey slices, and potatoes. For dessert, Annick made a cake thing with a little trinket inside. Whoever finds the trinket in their slice gets to be king/queen for the day and wear a crown. It's usually a holiday that's celebrated in January, but since I missed out, Annick decided to recelebrate it today. I don't know if she planned it or not, but I was also the lucky finder of the angel. I got a crown and supposedly the angel will bring me good luck :D! The cake itself was delicious, too. ;)

After lunch, Annick showed me around her house. We went into her little garden in her backyard and she gave me some daffodils for spring! I made quite the haul today! Haha! We left shortly after that, and after putting the daffodils in a vase in my room, I started my homework. I have biology and French homework this weekend. The biology wouldn't be that bad since I've already studied the reproductive system a million times, except for the fact that I don't know what the questions on the worksheet want me to do exactly. I'll have to have my host mom help me after dinner, or if not, then I'll ask Sabrina tomorrow during a break. I managed to get a half page written for the first question of my French theme, too, but I don't understand the second question, so I'm going to need some help with that, too. Anyway, that's how I spent my afternoon. I didn't finish either of the two subjects, but I got a little bit done on each.

For dinner tonight, we're going to be eating crêpes! After that, I'm planning on finishing up my homework (or at least getting as far as I can) and then going to bed! I'm exhausteddd! The good thing about Monday is that I don't start 'til 10, so I get to sleep in a little :)

I hope you all had a great spring break!
I miss you!
