Day 75-78 - Fun Fair and School

We had a biology exam after lunch on Tuesday. I wasn't enjoying the hour and 35 minutes much, but I didn't stress too much. I'll se how I did on Tuesday I wxpect. It was very hard and quite long. I had to leave some questions blank as I didn't understand them, but the ones I understood I wrote as much as I could. And as well as I could explain myself in French.

On Tuesday evening I would normally have had sports, but Émilie's ferret had eaten chocolate the previous night and Émily had been up the whole night, taking her to the vet. So she was too tired to come and I didn't want to go by myself.. So I, too, skipped it. I was very tired in any case.

Wednesday we had no school. I was so greatful for the little break form working! I went to the fun fair again with Pauline, Michou, Antoine A. and Céline. It was fun but none of us had too much money, so we went on two rides. But it was awsome. Afterwards, around six we went to the shopping centre near by to buy some snacks, energy drinks (Burn) and sweets (Haribo's Dragibus). I bought nothing, but Pauline and Antoine did and they were kind enough to share with the rest of us. Hanging out with them is a lot of fun and I love it. They (excl. Céline) make fun of me (jokingly) about my accent and me being so "quiet". I take it as a joke and don't pay too much attention unless someone says it's mignon, cute in French. It's mostly Pauline and Clémentine who do that at school, but I can live with it. Plus apparently I say j'adore funny, according to Pauline and Olivier who "mimic" me saying it. I just give them a slap on the thigh/arm.. And I'm not denying it and I almost always agree, but it gets annoying to hear it over and over again.

Yesterday was school again and everyone was happy we only had four days of school this week. Everyone was looking forward to the weekend. Not a very interesting day if I recall correctly. We had basketball and our team won all the mini games we played. And apparently I played well, again. I'm glad. I haven't been able to go to the after school to the basketball sessions as I wasn't in school for a few Wednesdays before the holiday and when I was there he wasn't, so no training session. I'm hoping I'll remember to enroll next week and that there is a training session.

I think I also playes a few rounds of Tarot yesterday..

Last night Michou sent me some music. He's got good taste. He sent me dance music/electronic/house/stuff with a beat. Loves it. <3

Today we had Agro Equipment. Most of the class arrived two minutes late and the teacher wouldn't let us in, so we had to walk all the way back up to la vie scolaire to get a "late" slip. Turns out they refuse to give them unless you're over 10 mins late. So we walked all the way back down (it's not held in school, the class). He had a surprise quiz for us. I didn't understand, so I wrote nothing. Oh well.

Actually, we were late as we left too late (I was playing Tarot with Antoine V., Jojo (Joachim) and Clémentine), when the bell rang.

We had Geo after, boring and hard. Then French. I'm not liking the teacher too much. I guess she's nice enough, but whatever.

After lunch I played Tarots again with Antoine, Olivier, Jojo and Morgane. We listened to good music and played. It's the best case scenario in my oppinion. I love it. In the middle of a game the Agronomy teacher came in and we had to stop. Today's class was all right. We had to have a wrapper of a food product with us and write down some info form the ingredients. I didn't ask much help from anyone and I was proud when I finished. Now I just hope it's correct!

After that we got to go hooooooome! It was only 1435. I have a love/hate relationship with Fridays at the moment. I love that we end early, but I hate not having anything to do Friday nights. It's boring watching TV and being on the computer all afternoon and day. The thing is everyone I know lives far away and can't really do anything after school. And I'm not bothered to do any school work right after school. I'm just that lazy. I leave it to the last minute. I'll do the work for next week tomorrow or, more likely, Sunday as tomorrow I'll be at Pauline's finishing the Herbarium for Tuesday. We also have a French essay I have to do and notes for Physics (she makes us make notes out of notes, it's unbelievable!), some maths (I'm guessing) and that's about it I think. Oh, and I have to read a French play.

I should get started on reading the play.. It looks boring.

Day 74 - Running and Tarot

Waking up at six thirty is torture but it has to be done! :( And trying to put contacts on is even harder! In the morning at least, but it, too, has to be done.

We had running first thing this morning, but it was freezing and I didn't finish the last round. Too hard. I made it almost half way when it was just too much. So I gave up. Ah, well. I wasn't the only one.

I'm in love with jue de Tarot and I played plusieurs (I can't think of the word in English! Something along the lines of more than one) games today and Antoine asked if I liked the game. I said hell yes and meant it! It's addicting. It was strange not having Olivier play as well, as he usually plays with us, but he had "service" at the stables today. Everyone gets to (has to!!) do it for one day. I have it in a few weeks.. I'm a bit nervous as I have no idea what to expect. The language barrier will be hard, too. But I'll manage.

Today during Economics and French I couldn't stop laughing. Neither could Clémentine or Pauline. It was crazy. Plus I was texting with Michou. He has unlimited texting and I'm extremely jealous! I can't get it as it's more expensive than now and the deal is for at least a year, usually two. :( So I decided 20€/month should be enough (hopefully!).

On Wednesday we have the day off, so we're going top the fun fair again. AWSOMMMEEEE! Not exactly sure whose coming. I know Michou and Pauline, probably Céline, Antoine A. and Jordan, and perhaps Tiana, Anaïse and Marie V. Plus Joachim is coming, I think. Should be a bunch of fun. I'm just kind of running out of money.. Gotta stop spending!

This evening Émilie and I had spert today and we were both very happy with the result afterwards. We were both tired yet very happy. Endorphins anyone?

Now I'm off to take a shower and die. Night! Bsxx
