This morning, Camille and I went to school for this “post Bac” thing. I went to a room for languages/Arts and one for a social thing. After it was over, I waited for Camille in front of the school. After a little bit of waiting, I figured she went home, so I did. I walked all the way to the house, didn’t think anyone was there, walked to the bus stop to see if Viva was there, then heard that Camille was waiting for me at school. So I walked back to school and hoped the fence to find that she wasn’t there anymore. I walked back home and saw Camille and her mom driving. They stopped and I got in the car. I really need a working phone!!

So after that, Viva came over and we went to get pizza with Camille. I finally get to say I ate a whole pizza by myself, including the crust!!! After that, we came back to the house and Viva and I watched half of a movie and then we all went to Rennes for shopping. Camille’s Aunt, Uncle, and cousins are here for the night so we all went. I went with my host parents to take Viva home and then we came back to the house for dinner. It is now 10:18pm and we recently finished eating. We started eating somewhere around 8-9.  That’s a long meal!

Anyway, ttyl!

Sorry for the English, but it’s late and I wanted to post this tonight.

Today was no different then yesterday, but thankfully it’s the weekend. I’m here to learn, so that’s what I’m mostly focused on now. I’m doing work in class and at home. Not having certain things on my mind will be good for a while.

I went to the math class today with Viva, Elly, and Pierce. It was fun because we are doing “simple” equations and we get told “No English!” which is good, but doesn’t always keep us quiet.

I still had free time after lunch, so I hung out with Viva and Kyllian. We laughed a lot! I have only made a few friends here, but they are one’s I will always remember!

Tomorrow, I am going to hang out with Viva and maybe Elly. We are going to have a little celebration for me, so I’m excited!

Well, that’s all for tonight. TTYL!

I’ve decided I’m going to only post certain things here, not everything. I’ve gotten some grief about some stuff I write and I’m finished with it.

So I was really upset and annoyed yesterday and that’s why I didn’t write. I didn’t want to say anything I would later regret.

Anyway, I straightened my hair on Wednesday after school and I got SO many comments on it! I didn’t realize it was that long either!

I noticed something yesterday that almost made me re-think my earlier thinking, but after a while I thought, NO!

That’s the main things that happened yesterday. Now to finish getting ready for today.

Ce matin, en perm, j’ai aidé ces deux jeunes filles avec l’anglais. En classe d’anglais, nous avons been separated en deux groupes, les journalistes et les athlètes. Je sat avec les journalistes, parce que j’avais des questions et des réponses écrites et le prof said je could sit wherever. As je l’ai écouté la conversation d’autres, c’était from d’un journaliste et d’un athlète, je ne pouvais help but rire. Non seulement les accents, mais l’anglais et les mots qu’ils ont dit. Certaines things elles était en fait drôle, d’autres choses c’était juste drôle pour moi. Quand everyone a terminé, le prof a demandé qui voulait parler again…cette fois avec moi. There were some cris de qui il should be, mais Léo got up. Il était l’athlète et j’étais le journaliste. C’était amusant!

C’était la chose la plus intéressante qui s’est passé aujourd’hui.

A few minutes ago, je walked to le magasin pour obtenir certaines choses. J’aime the fact that je peux faire ça!

Bon, rien de plus.

This blog has nothing to do with the title, but it’s a fact.

Ce matin, j’ai quitté la maison à 8h20. Nous sommes arrivés à l’école à 8h24 et des classes a commencé à 8h30. C’est un record!!

J’ai fait un test de maths d’aujourd’hui. Je n’ai pas finish, parce que c’était un peu dur, mais quand le prof took it, dit-il, “just for fun.” Parce que je prends des tests de mathes pour fun…

En Français, le prof m’a dit d’aller au CDI pour rechercher la traduction de quelque chose. Je was supposed être there pour 20 minutes, mais it turned en une heure. OOPS!

Demain est une demi-journée et je suis très heureux!

Ok, ttyl!

Ce matin je me suis réveillé à 7h, 30 minutes de plus de sleep!! Je got driven à l’école avec Camille et rencontré Viva. Rien d’important happened aujourd’hui, donc je vais skip au P.E. Aujourd’hui était le dernier jour de ping-pong. Je pensais ping-pong was fini, donc j’étais prêt pour la danse. Turns out, la danse commence la semaine prochaine.

Après l’école, je suis rentré à pied. J’étais seul à la maison et j’avais besoin de crier … donc je did. Dans mon pillow. J’ai aussi écouté de la musique that has to do avec ma vie en ce moment.

Ok, fini avec cette entrée. Vous parler plus tard!

~Tara

Aujourd’hui je suis allé avec ma famille d’accueil à la maison de l’ami de Camille pour l’anniversaire de son père. Nous were there pour 6 heures. Nous avons mangé, joué WII, et écouté de la musique. Pas de regular musique, records. Oui, records.

L’école starts demain et j’ai mixed feelings. Je veux  aller parce que je veux voir mes amis et je veux apprendre plus de français, mais je ne veux pas voir «quelqu’un».

J’ai ma nouvelle veste chaude, donc je ne freeze pas à l’école, donc c’est bon! Je pense aussi à what it will be comme être fluent en Français. Qui est ma raison d’aimer l’école, j’aime apprendre le Français. J’ai been told mon français est bon. C’est un start!

Ok, fini pour ce soir!

Ok,

So I wrote this all out, then my internet crashed and it all got deleted. Now I’m writing a shorter version…

Tuesday:
I took the 9:33am train to Paris, I sat by Carolin and Beatriz. We talked in French for half the time and listened to music for the rest of the time. When we got there, we walked to the residence. We got disoriented a few times, but found it eventually. We met all the other people and found our rooms. In my room, there was 6 of us. Me, Ikwe, Beatriz, Natália, Natalya, and Veronica. That night, we went on a little cruise around Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower and the back of The Louvre. After that, we went back to the residence for “bed.” My roommates thought it would be fun to have a “party,” so we invited the boys over. We played spin the bottle/truth or dare and it was really fun. We actually did this each night. I mostly watched, but it was still fun.

Wednesday:
We went to Notre Dame, The Louvre, and the Champs Elysees. I got tons of pictures and got what I needed from the Champs Elysees.

Thursday:
Eiffel Tower, second floor. It was really awesome from there. Before we went up, I shared a nutella crepe and I had a cotton candy that was HUGE!!! After that, it was shopping time. Then dinner and more party time.

Friday:
Back home. I was on the train by myself, so I slept the whole two hours. Back home, I relaxed and at 8pm, Camille and I went to Elly’s host brother’s band’s concert. It was good, their music had good beats. I walked around the block a few times with Elly and we just talked.

Saturday:
Today, I met Viva at the metro station and we went to a cafe for a drink and Subway for lunch. It was good, not like America, but good. We just finished watching 21 Jump Street with Camille and her friends and now it’s bed time.

Bonne Nuit!

I went to the seaside with my host family on Thursday night and there was no internet at the house so that’s why I didn’t write for a few days. Now, I’m going to fill you in about the weekend.

On Thursday, we drove to the seaside. I was in the middle seat, between Camille and Nicolas. We arrived at about 8pm, put our stuff down and ate dinner. I shared a room with Camille and that night I watched Just Go With It. It was SO funny!!! On Friday, Camille, Nicolas, and I walked down to the ocean. There were a bunch of big rocks that led to the water, so I walked across them and eventually got to the end. I felt the water, just to say I did, and it was VERY COLD!! For lunch that day, we had canard, or duck. And I actually ate it!! After lunch, we drove to Vannes to shop. It was all but Nicolas this time. When we got back to the house, we ate dinner and then I watched Twilight. On Saturday, Camille, her mom, and I went to see this castle. It was really nice and I got pictures! At the house, I helped Camille with her English hw. She had to record her voice as if she was doing an interview on an Olympic athlete. It was really funny because she wanted to do some of it in a British accent. I talked to her in the British accent and she was so amazed! I guess I can do it because I’m American. On Saturday, we also went to this boat sale thing. Which was cool. At the house, Camille and I were in our room and I was singing. Without me knowing, Camille was recording me. We played it back and changed the voice so I sounded like a chipmunk. We laughed so hard!!! That night was a family movie. We watched The Visitors in America, in French. The parts I understood were funny! Yesterday, we had calamari for lunch, then Camille, Nicolas, and I went on a bike ride. It was really pretty and I got lots of pictures. That night it was back to town.

Last night, I video chatted with Emily and we laughed so hard!!! We were reading Anti-Jokes and they were so funny!!! I really miss laughing with her!

Anyway, more tonight.

Last night was Halloween and I went to a party with Camille. It was a surprise birthday party for her friend. After whatever we did in the afternoon, we got back to the house and got ready to go out. I was a burlesque dancer and Camille was a cat. When we got to the meeting place I was freaking out! Camille told me it was only Terminal people (seniors), then I saw him…OMG. I couldn’t even control my emotions! We all walked to the house and went into the garage, waiting for the birthday girl. After we yelled “surprise”, it was party time. It was really fun! We danced, went “trick-or-treating”, and just talked. I noticed some obvious things last night that made me really happy. (not going to write them here, but it made me smile)

Anyway, at around midnight, Camille and I got picked up from the house and crashed when we got home. All in all, it was a very good night!!!

Today, we are just chilling at home and tonight, we are going to the seaside until Sunday. My host family has a house there. I’m excited!!

Ok, ttyl!!
