1ère Vacances :D

Salut tout le monde!

So I guess I have moderately gotten into a habit of writing here every two weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up. I have decided that the best part of the schooling in France is that every 6 weeks you get 2 weeks off which I am most definitely a fan of. The last week of school went by fairly quickly and I signed up to go mountain climbing the Wednesday of the week I got back to school school and in my very last class on Friday, which was my english class, I did a presentation on Canada which went really well. I did it partly in English which was good for the rest of the class and partly in Franch which was great for me. Afterwards some of the students came and said the presentation was great and they really enjoyed it which was wonderful to hear. I look forward to doing it again in some more classes. During the last week I also got to meet a guy from England who is an assistant at the school in the English classes and we had a nice chat.

Now, I am pretty much done my first week of the 2 weeks of Vacation but it has been well spent thus far. The first weekend I went to a soirée at Bobby's, an exchange student friends house in a neighbouring town called Monfort, that is about an hour from me. The party had 8 exchange students and then a couple of his friends from school. It was a wonderful night and everyone brought food to eat and it was great. All the exchange students slept there and then next day we hung around, talked, laughed etc.

On Monday I went for a run and tried to find a trail that I ran on with my host dad a couple of weeks ago but obviously that didn't work out so well because I ended up getting lost for 2 hours and ended up in another town. -__-

Tuesday it was Ime's birthday (exchanger from Mexico) so we met up in Aix and hung out which was nice. On Wednesday moi et Ime met up again at my house and made nachos and watched a movie. It was really rainy that day so walking to my house we got a little wet. There were literally river on the streets. On Thursday I went with my host family to Dignes-les-Bains for my h.mom's dad's birthday. It was kinda cool because I got to met pretty much all the family of my host mom. We ate and sat around and talked and it was nice. And, finally almost all caught up, Friday I went to a friends house from school. We went biking and saw a great view and I hung out with her family etc which was wonderful. I stayed the night and then the next morning I made pancakes. It was really awesome and her family is very nice.

   Getting all ready to go! :)

At the very top ^ :)

Then off we went!

For the next week I have a soccer game tomorrow and then on Wednesday my friend Thibault from Lyon is coming to visit me! He was the exchange student in my town last year and I'm looking forward to seeing him again. And then on Friday I'm getting together with a bunch of friends from school to go shopping and then after either seeing a movie, going bowling, or playing laser tag. My heart says laser tag but my wallet says bowling. :p But I guess I'll just have to see how much money I spend shopping because I really need a jacket because I didn't bring one.

SO,
à la prochain,
gros bisous,
