Salut à tous!!

Cet après-midi, je suis allé avec Camille au magasin, Super U, pour acheter de la nourriture pour le déjeuner. Nous avons got hamburger meat. Quand nous sommes arrivés à la maison, nous avons obtenu quelques accessoires de costumes. Camille va être un chat et je vais être un danseur. J’emprunte un chapeau et une nuit boa et demain nous allons à une soirée! Je suis vraiment excité parce que j’aime dressing up et j’adore les parties! Mon costume est presque terminé. J’ai juste besoin de quelque chose de coloré et collants.

Ce soir, le frère de Camille est de retour à la maison. Il will be ici jusqu’à dimanche.

This afternoon, I went ice skating with Camille, Zac, Elly, Charlotte, and Zac’s friend Christina. It was really fun. We met Zac and Christina at the rink and skated for a long time. I love ice skating, besides the fast that now I have major blisters from the skates.

Camille and I just finished watching Easy A. That is one of my favorite movies EVER!!! She loved it too!

Now, it is time to get ready for bed.
Tomorrow I’m hoping I can go shopping for something for my Halloween costume.

Bonne Nuit!

Hier matin, j’ai joué WII, chantant et dansant for about une heure ou so. C’était amusant! Dans l’après-midi, je suis allé au cinéma avec Camille, son amie Charlotte, et son père. Nous avons vu Sauvages. C’est avec Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, et John Trovolta. Un film bizarre … mais good in a way. Après cela, nous sommes rentrés à la maison et nous trois filles regardé “Grey’s Anatomy”. Charlotte left after that et the rest of us avons dîné. BURITTOS! While nous avons mangé, nous avons regardé les nouvelles, et après, nous avons regardé l’âge de glace 3 (Ice Age 3) en Français. Je peux comprendre some of it, plus je l’ai vu avant.

Après cela, c’était bedtime!

Donc je suis passé familles d’accueil aujourd’hui. Je suis allé à la meeting avec d’autres étudiants d’échange et de met de la nouvelle famille. Ils sont vraiment sympa et je suis trés heureux d’être ici. J’ai met les étudiants en échange d’autres aussi. Je suis vraiment heureux que j’ai mainenant une sœur d’accueil de mon âge, et elle est de 17 ans. Ma nouvelle chambre est trés mignon tout comme le reste de la maison. Je suis allé en promenade avec ma mère d’accueil et nous sommes allés à mon école so je would know how to get back à la maison.

Après our promenade, nous sommes come back à la maison et j’ai joué fooseball avec ma mère d’accueil … elle a gagné. Après that, on est allé chercher Camille, ma sœur d’accueil. Elle vient juste de rentrer de l’Irlande.

Nous avons juste fini de dîner, et maintenant je vais me préparer pour la nuit. Bonne nuit!

Aujourd’hui, c’était le dernier jour de l’école for deux semaines! Je wore mes contacts et le maquillage since il était le dernier jour. Quand je suis arrivé à l’école ce matin, je suis allé dire “salut” à Viva. Her classmate, Loan, came over à dire “salut” aussi. Il est grand, et quand il leaned over pour m’embrasser (sur la joue), il a dit “petit!” Oui, je suis petit. c’est la même chose avec Kyllian aussi.

Première classe: Français. J’ai pris des notes plus et just d’écouter à le prof. Après Français, c’est the slower classe de Maths pour moi, Viva, et Elly. Apres Maths, j’ai eu 3,5 heures de temps libre. J’ai déjeuné avec Viva, then nous avons parlé avec quelques amis. When Viva allé en classe, j’avais encore 2 heures de temps libre. Pour une heure, je stood à l’extérieur de parler à certaines personnes de ma classe.
Une conversation bizarre was going on… Après that, j’avais encore une heure, so, je suis allé dans la “quiet room.” Apres that, c’était l’histoire et SES. There was un test en histoire, donc c’était un peu comme une heure de temps libre pour moi. J’ai beaucoup trop de temps libre!
J’étais SO happy quand the last bell rang! VACANCES!

Deux semaines avec rien planned, mais Paris on the 6th. Je get à dormir après 6h30!!!!

Je move demain.There is une réunion avec les autres étudiants d’échange et ma new host family. Aujourd’hui, c’était la dernière fois que je l’ai dit “au revoir” à Marine en personne.
Il était sad de voir years dans ses yeux quand elle left la maison.

Ok, la nuit dernière avec cette famille d’accueil. Je vais aller jouer UNO avec them.

BONNE NUIT!!!

Today in history, I sat alone…why? There was one girl absent so this other girl sat in her place. Do people sit by me just because that is the last seat open? That’s just RUDE!! Anyway, after that I went to lunch early because, again, no English. I ate with Alix and her friends. When it was the regular lunch period, I went back in with Viva, Alix, and other friends. Take 2 for lunch! After lunch, the second one, I had 30 minutes before my next class. So, I stood outside talking to Viva, Pierce, and 2 French girls. Loads of laughs!!

So worst thing that happened today…he knows… How he found out, I have no idea, but he did. To the guys who I’ve been writing about, CONGRATULATIONS, you figured out your nicknames. Now you know I think you’re cute…big deal!! I know a lot of “cute” guys, you are just a few of the many.

After school, my LC picked me up and we went to the train station to by my ticket for paris because yesterday it didn’t work. it didn’t work today either, so my LC bought my ticket and I am going to pay her back on Saturday at the meeting. Either way, I’M GOING TO PARIS!!! I’m so excited!! After tomorrow, it’s VACATION!!! I can’t wait to just hang out and sleep past 6:30am.

Alrighty, bed time! Bonne Nuit!!

First class? History. After that, free time, Science, then free time again. The second free time was because my English teacher is in Italy this week so there are no English classes. In Science, no offense to the teachers, but no one really pays attention to that class. Today there was a spit-ball fight…enough said.

After school, I came home and ate lunch, then I went to the bus stop and on to the metro station. I took the metro to Gares to buy my train ticket for Paris. After 30 min on the bus going to the metro station and a few minutes on the metro, I got to Gares and went up to buy the ticket. Everything was ready and it was time to pay. My credit card didn’t work… I had to cancel everything, get back on the metro, and take the bus 30 min back. To make things worse, I got on the wrong bus so I had to wait for another one and switch.

When I got home, I did some stuff in my room to get ready for the vacation.

Now, it’s chill time!

LATERZ!

Spanish this morning, which meant free time. After that, there was a Science test. That meant more free time. I learn so many new words when I have free time! I took notes in Math and for lunch, I ate with Alix, Marie, and Morgane.

In French class, I was reading Le Petit Prince, when the teacher came over and asked me to do some exercises with “if.” Then he asked everyone else to write a sentence on the board with “if” to help me. Then I was asked to stand up and translate the sentences. Some were written in English and others in French. So I translated in English and French. My HW for French is to write a poem. Each line has to start with “If.” For example, If I had to pick one thing to do for life, it would be dancing. ( Si je devais choisir une seule chose à faire pour la vie, il serait danser) Should be good.

IN 2.5 DAYS IT WILL BE VACATION!!! I am so excited. Tomorrow I am going to the train station to buy my ticket for Paris!! I can’t wait!

OK, night time. Bonne Nuit!

ONE MORE WEEK TILL VACATION!!!

This morning, I walked to the bus stop with my host mother. Since we walked, I almost missed the bus because it has been coming early. I literally ran to it this morning.

So today I started off with free time because my English teacher is apparently in Italy. Today was also the last day of ping-pong and I am so happy. After the vacation, it’s dance for sport!! After lunch, I was stopped by Morgane and was invited to go off campus with her. I said yes and went across the street with her, Alix, Marie, and Samuel. We played “guess the song” and talked for about 30 minutes. Then it was time for class again. As we walked back to school, I saw a lady walking her dog. It was a husky…I thought of my sister, Emily, because that’s her favorite kind of dog.

In sport today, the teacher went out of the gym for a while, so we got hula hoops and played around. I was the only one who could actually keep it up, so I was like the role model. Someone asked me to do two, so I did. Then it was “trois, quatre!” So there I was, with 4 hula hoops around my waist. They were very light weight, so it was easier with more anyway.

As I was waiting for the SES teacher, I looked up at the trees and noticed that they are changing colors! It’s fall!!! I love watching the leaves change color.

So as I said before, the bus is the best place to crack my back. It’s easy to twist, but I also get to turn around and look at ‘someone.’

Thankfully this week will be nice-ish weather with no rain. That’s good!! OK, time to get ready for bed! Bonne Nuit!

Today was so much fun!!! I went to Vitré to hang out with Zac. I bought my train ticket yesterday and today I got on the train and 30 minutes later, I was in Vitré. I got off the train and walked outside looking for Zac. After a few minutes of looking, I saw him walk over. We walked around the city, in a church, to his house to get gum, and to a bakery. Lots of walking! We went into a little restaurant and got host chocolate with whip cream. It was really good and as we were drinking, I heard Zac say, “there’s a spider on your neck.” What did I go…? FREAK OUT!!! Lucikly it was a little one so I blew it off. That was after I saw in in my shirt. EWWW!!!

So I met his host dad and he is nothing like how I pictured him. He is tall and doesn’t look like a super old man. I also saw his bees…yes, he has bees.

At the train station, Zac and I took so many pictures! They are so funny and I will post them on FB soon.

Now, it’s bed time. Bonne Nuit!
