Wednesday Half Days
Mood:  not sure
Yesterday I learned "bonheur" happiness. Awwwwww :-)

Today, and every Wednesday, is a half a day. So I get to go home at 12!!! I only have 4 classes today too.. or well, 4 blocks, but the first two classes are "Etude" or Study hall, then I have "Anglais" and "francais" English and French. Not too difficult! I think Adriana is coming back with me after school but I'm not sure because she has to call her host family first. If she does, it will be the first friend I have had over since I got here!

I have been studying my French like no tomorrow. Not much improvement yet, but its getting there... On the 23 of this month I am expected to make a presentation to my host rotary club IN FRENCH about where I come from, Maine, and my family. Wow talk about some stress! Once that is done and over with, I get to go canoeing with the other inbounds on the 25 if I can find the paper that needs to be signed by about 25 hundred ppl! No, no stress here!

Last night my host mom, Corinne, bought me a clock for my room! I was so excited! My favorite color is green, so she got me a little green one to put by my bed! Awwwwww. :-)

Tae-bo lessons were going to start on Mondays but not enough people signed up, so they canceled them! "Dommage!" Darn! But thats alright I guess, because classes are 130 dollars American money and 99 EUROS. "Tres cher" very expensive! But now I can take Graffiti lessons instead! :-D It's like 15 dollars American money a class, but REALLY FUN!!! So if I dont come back to America knowing how to kick some butt, at least I will know how to properly vandalise stuff! *phew* I'm not a complete failure!

Soon I will have my photos developed, so I can scan them and put them on my website. No, I don't have the luxury of a digital camera here with me, but the disposable ones will have to do. On and my Mom just got me a video camera and its in the mail as I speak! She is also sending me Grahmcrackers and marshmallows because here they don't have ones like they do in America. They are marshmallow wannabies... marshmallow posers. It is difficult to make smores without marshmallows or grahmcrackers. Try it some time. So I had to compensate and use some cake crackers and pink and white sugar things for the marshmallows and grahmcrackers... It wasn't pretty.
