Spring time is finally here
Mood:  smelly
Spring time has finally arrived! (I say "finally" as if its June or something!) When in truth, it is super warm for a day in March. (when you read 'super'you have to think it like the french say it: 'souuuuupehhh' with the emphasis on the 'oup') Everyone came out of hiding and life way gay! :D!! Girls sporting t-shirts, tank tops, and skirts (actually the girls here wear skirts year round, mindless of the weather... I find myself saying "I wonder if she knows its cold out?" a lot) and guys without winter jackets; everyone eating icecream! Oh so great! It is funny because we had still some lingering snow on the ground, not more than 4 days ago. Then, as if someone threw a blanket over Belgium (check out Belgium on a map some time... my theory is that it is completly possible to blanket this country); it was spring time. The world just woke up one morning and flipped a switch; it was that dramatic.

And because today is Wednesday, school gets over at noon time and I got to go into town with Jana (pronounced Yana because it's German) to enjoy the beautiful weather. This is, sadly, her last week here in Belgium because she is only staying here for 3 months... and now her 3 months are drawing to an end... :( But I have to admit, that in the short time she has been here, her French has improved imensily. It has gotten 10 times better than when she first arrived. And that is, in essence, what she came here to learn. So bravo, Mission Accomplished!!

We made a tour around Liege, bought 2 waffles (with chocolate... oooOOOooo trop bon!!! ;D)I talked Jana into getting a piercing at StevePiercing (I am such a bad influence, I know; I'm not denying it... I'll be the first to admit it, actually!) She got that nub pierced that attaches your eat and the side of your face. then went for icecream! While we were eating our icecream a super hot guy came up to us and asked us where we bought it but of coarse as soon as a hot guy starts to talk to me, I forget all of my french. I mean... I could have said that it was too hard for me to explain but that we would show him because he's hott and we are exceptionally nice to hot guys... but alas, I didn't have the capacity... my vocabulary is shot when a cute guy enters the vacinity. pfff. lol :p c'est pas grave.

As we were finishing up with the icecream, Adriana comes out of no wheres, saying she was looking for Gustavo, but couldn't find him. So we compromised and went to EXPO to find a super
cute card for her brother back in Brazil who is turning... 16? maybe? While we were looking around there, we spotted Lewis, an exchange student from Venezuela and then Finn called. I went to the Corr to search for him and then brought him back to the center of Liege where Jana, Adriana, and Lewis were. We bee bopped around there for a bit, soaking up the sunshine (such a rare sight in Belgium... I have to stress this) Jana left around 4 and when we walked her to her bus stop we met up with two other girls from rotary. (one brazilian and one from... I forget where, but she speaks Spanish) so Adriana stepped aside and talked with the girl from Brazil in portuguese, Lewis was on my other side, talking to the other girl in Spanish, and Finn and I are in the middle, comparing lip gloss in English. Yes, we were a sight to see!! ;)

I had to leave at 5, but before I caught my bus home, our mini hord stopped in at FNAC (like a European version of Borders) so Adriana could see the price of the book, "Da Vinchi Code" a super good book that I am thinking about buying in French too. From there, we were not far from Delhaze (a supermarket) so Adriana, Finn, and I all went to Delhaze where Adriana picked up chocolate to send to her aunt in Portugal and then we made little sticker photos in the machine outside of the store!! Too cute! Check it out in my "And Ends" album. Its the one in black and white of Adriana, Finn and me! :D

Ok thats it... then I took the bus home!

And if you are curious about my last post on the 13th... no my host mom did not let me stay home on Monday! :( lol I will survive...

Tuesday night we ate couscous!! I was so excited to start eating, that I didn't wait for it to cool enough and burnt the tip of my tongue... then couldn't taste any thing for the rest of the meal!! yes... bravo... :p i know it!

Ok I'm pretty sure that is all the super cool things that I've done since the last time I wrote.

-ciao!
