A little bit of my life, is now yours.
(warning, i ain't holdin' back)
Today, my alarm went off at 8:05 (08h05) while I was in the middle of dreaming about a friend from DA and walking through Hope Valley. I didn't have to leave the house until 9:30 (09h30) today because I don't start school until 11..but my host sister starts at 10. I got out of bed, turned off my fan, opened the thing for the window cover, turned on the heat, and took my computer to set it in the bathroom, like I do every morning. I checked my emails and facebook and did my daily morning pee. I have the best internet in the bathroom, who knows why. Went back into my room with my computer and turned on Kanye West's new CD My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which by the way is a lot better than Kid Cudi's new crap. Changed into my tank top, white tee, gray sweater thing, think-ass leggings, jeans, and my SUPER warm sweat proof socks I got when I went to the Amazon. Let me tell you, it is 23 degrees here, real cold. Walked over to my mirror and put on my makeup. Which by the way has gotten boring and plain. Mascara, powder, eye liner and chapstick, everyday. Yeah, cool, boring. I have perfume, Nina Richi something its a little redish apple that I wear everyday, but I'm almost out, awesome, I remember thinking. I pinned my hair up and around 8:45 (08h45) went downstairs to eat breakfast. Every Monday I eat the same thing because I have time, I can take my time- Coco Puffs and coffee. Every other day I eat two pieces of toast with butter and coffee. Monday mornings I miss the usually cartoon I like to watch. So I watch music videos, which are American, instead. I like Monday mornings, I'm by myself listening to music, eating breakfast and just chilling. I made my coffee differently today. I couldn't find the same color thing I put in the coffee maker. It was darker today, but just gave me an excuse to add another sugar- making it 4 sugar hearts now. Poured in the milk and put it in the microwave for :42 seconds. While reheating, I placed my bowl on the table with my oh-so-lovely French Coco Puffs and milk. Once finished, I got a spoon, stirred my coffee and took the spoon with the coffee to the table. Poured in the Coco puffs and milk and turned on the TV. Did my flipping, just making sure that my favorite Cartoon wasn't on, and ended up at the Music Video Station. I finished eating around 9:10 (09h10) and went upstairs. Brushed my teeth, and decided I would open the new perfume I bought in the beginning of November. Still Nini Richi but something different. Opened it and sprayed it on, put on my purple earrings, uggs and scarf. Grabbed my coat, bag and Thomas' lab coat and headed downstairs. Downstairs I grabbed a clementine for "guter" which is a snack and waited for Eva to be ready to go. While sitting there listening to the music videos still the new Nicki Minaj song with the Video Killed the Radio Star beat came on. I'd heard it before and wanted to know what it is because VKTRS ALWAYS will remind me of my dad. I saw Ninki Minaj and ran upstairs and downloaded her new CD. We left the house around 9:30 (09h30) for school. Unfortunately to have that new song, I needed to buy the CD, done. BUT it was taking too long to download so I left it downloading at home. I listened to my iPod on the way to school, some Chiddy Bang and Bright Eyes to be exact and by then we were almost at school. Got to school around 10 and I went to the Vie de Scolare (attendance office) because I wasn't there Friday because I was sick. I took them my note and continued on to the Lycee (high school). Went to the lockers with Eva, bisous-ed everyone (cheek kisses) and by then the bell had rang. I still didn't start for an hour so I went to study hall. Today I had a math test so I redid my two recent math tests and rewrote my notes, I think I had it down. So study hall is a big room, one teacher/ administrator lady, I'm not really sure what she is, and a bunch of desks. I went where I always go, to the right behind the column and there was only one other class in there. Since I was alone, she asked my what class I was in and why I wasn't with my class. I kindly explained I'm American and I chose not to take Physics. "oooook" was the response. She was new- obviously hadn't gotten the memo I was not French yet. As I said, spent the period study Math, mowwww, and stressing about the test. 11:05 (11h05) rolled around and I had French. Walked outside waited for a minute, and went into my classroom saying Bonjour to my Physics teacher-well my not so Physics teacher, Physics teacher. French is always a good class. My teacher is very dramatic and makes the class, well, interesting. I understand her class and I enjoy listening to it. Today she acted out a little except from theater and turned tomato-red while exclaiming some non-sense in French. Then she went on to talk about love triangles, and give facts about infidelity in the world. Later she talked about how if you know verbs of a language, you can get somewhere, but you need the verbs. She said (translated) "Imagine you were in another country and didn't know any verbs, you would get no where." Made me laugh, because hey, that was me a couple weeks ago! French ended at 12 (midi) and I got to go to lunch early with Eva and Lenaelle. We walked to the Canteen (not saying cafeteria because there's something else called the cafeteria which is different) and stood in line for about 5 minutes. Lunch today was pasta and mystery meat. Just pasta please. I ate pasta, bread, juice and some chocolate thing. Today I had lunch for about 2 hours, it was nice. We talked about me going away and how I don't want a party because I'll cry. After lunch was my math class. Math....math.....test.....at 1:45 (13h45) the math teacher walked up the stairs and opened the classroom. Everyone entered took off their jackets and scarves, got silent, and sat after the teach said " bonjour a tous, asseyez vous"(hello everyone, take a seat). This is something that is done in every class, everyday. After asking if there were any questions the teacher handed out the test. Front and back, 7 questions maybe, but hard. The first two I had no clue. Never seen that type of question before, no clue. The rest, pretty sure I nailed them, or at least I hope so. She collected papers around 2:30 (14h30) and told us to get out or notes and we started a new chapter. Class ended at 2:40 (14h40) and after I had another French class with the Theatre teacher. I have this class every Monday, same time, and I have yet to understand a class. I never really can tell what he's talking about. He talks really fast, mumbles, or is really loud. Every now and then I'll catch a phrase or two, but never completely understand his lesson. It's a french extra class you are placed in. Each subject has a "aide" class and teachers put you in it if it's your low point. I of course was put in French. Class ended around 3:30 (15h30) and it was break- for 20 minutes. Martina and I went to the lockers (which are luckily inside) and stood by the heaters with Emmanuelle talking about our weekends. The bell rang at 3:55 (15h55) and I had English. My English class is rather boring. Today we disected the lyrics from Hoobastank's song The Reason. There's not much I can do French wise like that besides translate the lyrics, which I already did. So, I sat and listened. At 4:50 (16h50) the bell rang and I was finished for the day. I met Martina in the middle of the walkway and we walked to her house like every Monday for hot chocolate. We got to her house and there was a strange man outside wandering around and told us he was there to pick up leaves-ooooookie, locking the door behind us. We made hot chocolate, ate cereal, and took pictures with her family of animal mugs. I'm going to miss her a lot. Talking in Franglais without question understanding. It's nice. Around 5:35 (17h35) Martina and I walked back to school where I met my host mom. Martina, my host mom, and I talked for a minute or two then Eva came and we were on our way home. The ride home is the same every day generally, how was your day, your test, and your lunch. We got home and I got in the shower, then it was time for dinner. It was some German quiesh (??) with onions, cheese, creme, and bacon- so good, and corn. Oh yeah, not going to forget the cheese. Cream cheese and bread I eat every day after dinner, yum. Well, since then, I've been sitting here writing this blog. It's getting a little late I should probably go to bed soon...bonne nuit xoxo
