I'm Out Of Title Ideas

Nothing exceptionally interesting happened today. I'm having a really hard time titling my posts on days like this.

This morning I got to watch La Monde de Nemo, which is also known as Finding Nemo :D! I love that movie! It made me really miss my clownfish back at home, though! :/

Once that was finished, we had lunch. Today I was good. I remembered it was Friday this time, so I didn't eat any meat. I also remembered to tell my family that I can't eat meat on Fridays until Easter. Last week I kind of forgot and had steak on Ash Wednesday and then ham on Friday. Woops! It should be good from here on out, though!

After lunch, Pierre and I went into Arras. He reallyyyy wanted to go walking around the city with me, so he finally got the chance. I'm getting really good at finding my way around in the Centre-Ville area. I can get from my school to the Grande or the Petite Place and walk around a few side streets, go to the old church, the big bank etc. I'd probably be totally lost anywhere else in town, though. Pierre and I just went into a bookstore. He bought a few books and I got some post cards. Then we went to a pastery shop and I bought myself a "pain du chocolat" and him a croissant. We walked around a little more and then headed back to Lycée Gambetta, where my host mom picked us up.

Once we came home, I went up to my room and read some of my French book and Manon Lescaut. In the French book, I read a story about a boy who catches a tadpole and brings it home, but then has to let it go again. Hah. That was kind of cute. I also read a short fable about a crow and a fox, and then a little about daily life. I thought the daily life thing was kind of interesting, because a lot of the differences it mentions in there, I've written about on my blog! I'm also proud to tell you that I am on page 50 of my book for French class. Unfortunately there are only 2 more days of vacation and I have 100 pages to go yet.. plus a paper to write. I'm probably just going to finish Part One and then start the paper. I've been underlining fewer and fewer words as I'm reading, though! A lot of the words I underline are words that I know, they're just in a tense that I haven't learned or have a prefix or something, so I don't recognize them right away.

Tonight there is some huge thing on TV with a bunch of really famous French singers. I don't remember exactly what it is called, but Pierre is super excited to watch it! Perhaps I will recognize a few people on there. I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow.

A bientôt :)
