OMG!

I heard that you guys are having flood waters higher than 1997!!! I hope all of your houses are safe from the water and no dikes break this time! Someone should keep me updated. I don't really know a whole lot.

Anyway. My day wasn't overly fantastic today. I'm really tired, and if I don't get a good night's sleep soon, I'm going to start getting bitchy. I don't want that to happen, but we eat supper so lateeeee! It's like 9 by the time we're done! Then I go up to my room, get ready for bed, write in my journal, and don't get to sleep until 10 at the earliest. Then in the morning I have to wake up at 6 (normally)! I need a good 12 hour nap. haha. Maybe I'll take advantage of Wednesday afternoon.

I did get to sleep in a littttle today, though. My first class was Anglais Complementaire at 10. I had a quiz on Martin Luther King. That went pretty well. During the middle of it though, my teacher goes, "Is anyone finished yet?" No one was. He looks at me and says, "This is really easy, isn't it?" I didn't know how to answer that. I kind of felt like a jerk saying yes and an idiot saying no. If there were people in my class who were having a hard time with it, I didn't want to say it was a piece of cake and make them feel stupid! On the other hand, I really did find it pretty simple and I think my teacher knew that, and lying by saying No would probably irritate him. He'd then probably be a big enough jerk to go make me tell him what was hard. Then I'd have to make up something. Ugghhh. My teacher is so inconsiderate of everyone else in my class. No wonder there is always a third of the class missing! Anyway, he kept asking me and rephrasing his question until I finally answered with a nod. After the quiz, we got a worksheet with pheonetic sounds on it and then words to place next to the different sounds. Now, I have an American accent and he has a British one, so I made a million errors with the sounds! He told me that I needed to try and use the British one, too, since that's the English that is taught in that class. I have until Thursday to finish up the worksheet. The rest of my class is having just as much trouble with it, though, so I don't really care if I suck.

After that, I had an hour break. I originally was going to go into town and get something to eat for later (since I had a class at noon), but we got to the doors at 11:02 and the lady would not let us out. Whatta jerk. We even explained that there was not another oppertunity for us to eat, but she would not let us out unless we wanted to be late for our next class (or something like that). We hung around outside in the yard for the hour. It was not a nice day. The wind was blowing like crazy and the sky was grey, but the foyer was closed for cleaning and the CDI was also locked up, so there wasn't much of a choice. My theatre teacher happened to pass by us, though, so Wendy and Alice talked to her and explained the situation. They got permission to skip theatre to go eat. I really needed the time to work on my text, so I gave Alice some money and told her to buy me something that would fill me up.

At noon, they went out to eat and I went to theatre. I went over my lines with Janet a couple times, but we kind of got off track and talked about other things for majority of the class. Oops! Haha.

I had a half hour between theatre and English L1 (different than earlier). I ran into Sabrina and Marion who were going to eat at the cantine, and decided to go along with them. I figured I would save whatever Alice got me for later. I ate a plate of pasta salad, spaghetti, and a piece of chocolate pie :)! We finished within the 30 minutes (surprisingly) and then Sabrina and I went up to class.

In English, we went over our quizzes from last week. I got a 16/20. My problem was that I translated the words differently into English, and while they would still work, my class hasn't learned the vocab that way so she could not accept it. I'm totally fine with that, though. It makes sense to me, and I didn't know the words in the first place, so I didn't expect to get that part perfect. I just guessed on the translations, for instance one of the words was "Percevoir" and I took the word appart and wrote down "To forsee" instead of the correct answer, "Predictable." After that we just did a worksheet on things like tenses and sentence structure. I found that kind of fun :)!

After English I had SVT (biology). I never finished that homework last night, but whatever. We just went over the answers today and then took notes. This is the 5th time I've studied the reproductive system. Haha.

I had English L1 again after SVT. We just did more worksheets and translated some sentences and stuff. It was kind of fun, but I got lost on the translations from French to English. haha.

My last class of the day was French. That went alright. I handed in my thème which I finished up last night :). My teacher wasn't in the best mood today, and gave a bunch of people in my class detention because they skipped Parcours last week. After a short lecture, though, we continued talking and taking notes on Manon Lescaut.

After school, I was supposed to take the bus home, but Vincent finished school earlier and had already left, and I didn't know which bus to take, so I ended up calling my host mom to come pick me up. When I got home, I ate the ham sandwhich Alice bought me for lunch. I really hope I don't get sick from that, but it was reallyyyy good and I couldn't just throw it away! haha!

That's pretty much it, though! A demain!
