Sorry about yesterday.

I meant to go on after school like normal, but there was an anti-virus thing screening the computer. Afterwards, I was really tired and went to bed instead.
I still feel lazy and don't really feel like updating, but whatever. I'm not going to cut you off. I'll fill you in briefly on yesterday's events, and then we'll move on to today.

I had Latin first, and I understood an entire sentence of the text! That's good progress for me! haha! After that was French. We just took notes on Manon Lescaut, nothing too exciting happened there. When French was over, I had an hour pause before English. I mainly just hung out in the yard and talked to people. English was decent. I don't remember what we did when because I had it twice yesterday, so the events kind of run together. At one point though, we got back the letters we wrote earlier this week. I not only had mine read in front of the class (which was kind of embarrassing), but also got a 9.5 out of 10 on it! I made one formatting fault, one grammar fault, and one spelling fault. Not bad, haha! When English ended, we had a three hour break before English round two. In that time period I ate lunch, talked with some people from my class, read a magazine in the CDI, and met with Mr. Marccusi (the headmaster) to see if I could still register to take the Bac Français. I will have that answer for you on Monday. At 3, I had English again. Then I finished my day with 2 hours of Parcours. During the break, the teacher came to talk to me. Parcours is taught by different teachers all the time, it's kind of a review class that gets you ready for the Bac. I don't really know how else to explain it. But anyways, the teacher asked me where I was from and when I told her North Dakota, she seemed like she knew where it was (which is shocking), so I asked her, "TU connais?!" The class burst out laughing, but my teacher went right on answering my question, so I didn't realize what I'd done. She didn't seem bothered at all (thankfully). Later on, Valentine told that story to Sabrina (who had been in the bathroom) and that's when I figured it out. I addressed my teacher informally, which is nottt polite at all. Thankfully, though, my teacher wasn't offended. I was really embarrassed though, and apologized after class. My teacher told me that French students make the same mistake sometimes. They'll be talking and forget they're talking to a teacher and sometimes "tu" will slip out. She's another history teacher in the school, and offered to help me with things I don't understand, if I want to bring them in. For now history is alright, but I might take her up on that later on. That ended my school day. On the way home, I stopped at the store with my host mom and then at the post office to mail a couple birthday cards.

TODAY! Finally. haha.
I went to school this morning for Devoirs (or DS). This week the subject was science. We had one test for physical science and another for earth science/biology. The biology one went overall really well. I answered almost every question and was able to write more than one setence majority of the time. On the contrary, the physical science one was terrible. I only answered 3 questions! hahah! Everyone was talking about how hard it was, though, so that makes me feel a little better. After school was out, I hung around with Marine and Justine. We went into town for a while and Marine bought a tshirt for her boyfriend's birthday. After that, we hung out and talked. My host mom came and picked me up at noon. When I got back, we ate lunch. It's a really nice day out, so after that, I went with Pierre to the field to play some ball. Tonight I'm going to go to some folk dancing thing at the town hall. haha.
Right now, though, I'm going grocery shopping with my host mom, so I've gotta gooo!
Bye!
