Last Monday ports was cancelled as the teacher was away. I still find it slightly odd that there is no lesson if the teacher is absent. I'm used to having a substitute come in to do the lesson. But I do love perm (read skips), so I'm a happy gal!
On Tuesday both Émilie and I were too tired to do sport, so we skipped. I was about to leave, when I realised the time. It was too late to make it.. Not that I'm too bothered! It would've been long jump, which I'm not too keen on as a general rule.
On Wednesday we had no basketball practice, but I stayed in school after lunch non-the-less. I like hanging out at school.. It's more entertaining than at home. I like living here and everything, but it's so much more fun to be around friends than by yourself. I don't enjoy watching telly too much, unlike Marie, so I generally stay in my room, on the computer or then I'm in the living room, on the computer. It depends.
I don't think anything happened on Thursday, really. We had no sports again. I was kinda sad as I love basketball. But then again perm isn't too bad either! Plus Kevin was skipping rugby, so that was fun.
Friday was a short day as there were parent-teacher meetings after school. Well, we ended at 1120, so not really after school..
I had lunch with Kevin and some of his friends instead of the "usual" crowd. Kevin isn't in my class, but he may as well be as he hangs out there during half the breaks. We've gotten pretty close in the past few weeks and I enjoy spending time with him. He's really laid back and chill about everything. Figures, since he listens to reggae and all.
He has long hair, roughly to his shoulders, brown eyes, a little lighter than mine, a beard (which I love, btw, its nice and kinda prickly and when he gives me a hug/bisous it tickles just the slightest) and he's a head taller than me. He's really nice and cuddly and friendly.
After lunch I met up with Pauline and we arranged it so that I went to her house instead of going home.
We didn't actually do very much at her house. We watched telly and that's about it. But we had fun! I love it hat her house. It's really cosy (her dad's, but her mum's is kinda chic and I love it too!). We did go shopping for something for the school disco-thing we have on Thursday. The theme is flashy et fluo. I have nothing flashy, or neon! So I get to buy something.. We found nothing, so we returned empty handed. Not that it matters much, neither of us had any money!
I was texting with Kevin all the while. He was bored at the parent-teacher conference. The teachers were running an hour late..
I got home really late that night, around nine as the RER A line (to our house) is on strike. I hate strikes. The French, on the other had seem to like them! So I sat on a figging bus for an hour and a half just to get home for fuck's sake! But I got there in the end, tired but happy enough.
On Saturday we were supposed to go and see a movie, but it was cancelled. So Pauline, Michou and I went shopping. For something for la soirée. We found a bunch of neon jewellery at Claire's. I got neon yellow laces and neon earrings. Kevin found a neon pink and a neon yellow bandanna that he gave to me this afternoon after lunch. They're friggin awsome. Perfect for the soirée!
Around nine or so we went to get Saara from an RER station a little further away form us. I've mentioned Saara before. She's one of the other exchange students form Finland. She slept over and we had so much fun just chatting (in Finnish for a change!). We stayed up until one in the morning before we got tired and went to bed.
We had to wake up pretty early (for a Sunday!) as Saara was meeting her dad in Paris around midday. He's here on a business trip and they'd arranged to meet up. I think it was a good idea, especially as she's changing families as soon as possible. She needs her parents' support.
The rest of the day I just did whatever. I couldn't go to the movies with Pauline as there were no buses or trains to Cergy!! It was so annoying!
Today we had musculation for sport. I was happy as we were inside and we weren't doing any running, with the exception of the "run around the rugby field", which five people did while the rest of us watched. I thought it hilarious that Kevin managed to smoke a cigarette and run at the same time. He did soon stop, but all the same. It just goes against all that sports is for, health! But it was kind of comical. We walked back most of the way, but ran the last fifty/hundred meters (down hill!) back inside. It was cheating but it was COLD outside! Plus we've done enough running in my opinion!
We had this exercise where we had to do a lot of jumping (I assume it was a warm-up) over benches and obstacles. It's pretty tiring but quite fun. After we had some exercises with the weight lifting bar with 5 kg on both ends. So altogether it was about 18-20 kg we were lifting.
There were a few insane guys in our group (Kevin, Julian, Charles and Joachim) who lifted the bar with 20 kg on both ends - that makes almost 50 kg! Insane I tell you! I didn't even bother to try as I was struggling with the five on both ends!I just watched in awe.
I'm starting to panic about buying the last gifts for people! And sending the last package to Finland!! I hate Christmas! Well, just the panicking about what to get people. I still need gifts for Marie and her mum, Christelle, Kevin, Clémentine and Chloé. We're splitting the gifts for Émilie and Boris and Camille. It's much better as I have no idea about what to get them! So that's sorted. (:
I'll do some last minute shopping this week after school or something. But I have no ideas, really! Wish me luck!
