Magical adventures!

 So I know the title is very miss leading... I just really couldn't think of anything else to call this, and its the first one that popped into my head. I've noticed my english has started to decline slightly. The other day instead of saying I'm shocked! I said I'm shocking! because thats whatever one says here... which is weird. But anyways magical adventures, I guess I am going on one soon. I am going to the futuroscope, I'm not totally sure what it is. But it's an amusement park so it should be fun! Also me and the host fam jam and two of their friends went for a walk in the old Laval and went into the castle. It was pretty. I never noticed that part even though I pass it all the time. School's school as usual. I like school a lot better now since I changed classes. So today I was late, first time ever. I some how missed my bus which I was like a good 5 minutes early for but it never came. Yeah so i was late. That's pretty much the most exciting thing that has happened lately. So I guess that all for now!

Just Chillin

So I am writing you from outside in the wonderful sunshine. :) There's not a cloud in the sky, just full on sun. I know you guys are like -11 weather and still have snow, but don't worry they sunshine is coming soon!!... Well at least for your sake I hope its soon. Normally I would have school the rest of this week but I don't have to go, so I have the rest of the week off. I am pretty happy about that. It gives me time to do some homework from Canada. It's all going to be done in the sun because it's suppose to be like 18 all week. :) I'm starting to like France better because of the weather. Haha But no I miss Canada even if it's freezing cold there right now. I suppose that's all that's new with me. Nothing too too exciting. My weekend with the other kids from canada was really good. Well I guess I shall go finish my home work now.

Don't know what to call this one....

So this weekend, is more travelling!! I am going to St Malo, Dinan, and Mont. St. Michael. I’m going with some other kids from Canada, so it should be  a good weekend! I also survived my first week in my new class! :D I actually really like this class a lot better. I am with people my age, and the way the classes and stuff works is a lot better in this one.  I actually made friends really quickly in this class. Also I am my Spanish teacher’s favorite student, its kinda funny actually. So I just took a look out my window, and I am pretty sure it’s going to rain soon pretty hard-core. The sky is pretty much black on one side. Okay that’s a lie; there is one cloud that looks like that… Anyways enough about me rambling on how it’s going to rain. More about…. Something else!  What to talk about, what to talk about..!? Well I got nothing! I should probably start packing now. Miss you all!

I'm like a little gypsy! Always traveling.

So I just got home last night from Paris. I never realized that there were soo many people trying to sell you things/ trying you to sign things. Pretty much everywhere you went. Eiffle tower, Notre Dame, the only place I didn't see them was near all the fancy stores. When I was at the Eiffle tower they were everywhere. Like literally everywhere and when the police came on their bikes, the people trying to sell things would just book it across the road, they didn't care about traffic. It was kinda funny when you first see it, but then you remember that, that's how they live their life, which is kinda sad. But on a more happy note. I went all the way to the top of the eiffle tower and didn't freak out like a little baby! It's amazing you can see all of france from it. I did a lot of walking while I was there and we took the metro. Yeah I don't like the metro. Its kinda dirty and smells like a porta-potty. Also the KFC's here are a lot less greasy than back home and they also have security... It's kinda weird, but a lot of places in Paris are like that. I guess you never know what crazy you might get.

  I finally start school again tomorrow after my two week holiday. I only have 6 weeks of school until the next holiday when I go to Rome. Also I have realized that my english grammar is getting kinda bad... Not good. Hopefully in my new english class I actually get to do something! :)

Also I will put pictures up on facebook super soon! Probably later tonight. You'll get to see my room and everywhere I have been so far! I've been to the ocean, i've been to paris. Next weekend I get to go to mont st Michael with other kids from canada, So i will take some more pictures then! Miss you all!

Oh Bonjour!

This week I went to the sea. I could almost see Canada, Haha kidding of course, it’s waaayy to far. We stayed in a little trailer. Like those trailers that are in trailer parks, kinda like that but a lot smaller and not so trashy looking. We walked along the beach for quite a while. Yes I put my feet in the water even though it was freezing cold. The two days we were there it was super nice. I got to eat my lunch outside, which was weird because its march and at home there is snow and it is freezing. The beach I went to was called La Baule and we stayed in Le Croisic. It was super nice there, I’ll put picture up on facebook later. I am leaving for Pairs tomorrow. I’m going for 3 days. Should be interesting. I will post something about it when I get home. Back to La Baule, the trailer we slept in, I must have hit my head like 10 times while I was sleeping. I was not impressed in the morning. I also got stuck in my sleeping bag. Today I went to the school, because I had a meeting with the principle. I changed grades, so I am not longer with people a year younger with me but people my age.  Which every thinks should be better for me.  Which it probably is. Time to start over! But I kinda like my new schedule better because Monday 8 to 5:30 (it’s bad but I can live) Tuesday 10 to 5:30, Wednesday 10 to noon, Thursday 8 to 3:30 (9 to 3:30 every other week), Friday 8 to 2:30. Friday is way better now than it was before because in my old schedule I started at 9 and finished at 5:30. I’m excited for this now! The only bad thing is that I have to start to make new friends and stuff again. I mean it wasn’t that bad the first time, so how bad could it be this time..??? Oh well, it’s going to be interesting that’s for sure! Right your probably wondering what class I do have, okay well I have : Histoire Geographie, Spanish, Anglais Euro, Math, Gym, French, Ens. Scientifique (No clue what that is), and Histoire in English. Oh I also have etude, but that really doesn’t count as a class because I only have it once for like half hour. I guess that’s all that’s new.

Sup Canada?

So I’ve been trying to try different foods here and something’s I don’t like aka cheese, but others I really like, such as smoked duck. I know me liking duck. How weird is that? Anyways it kinda reminds me of how smoked salmon is. It’s cut very thin and it is delicious! Haha Like I’m not even joking. It’s really good, and I thought I wouldn’t like it. It looks like the picture I put up with this. Also speaking of pictures, I will put some up on facebook after I come back from Paris. So like next weekendish time.  That sentence did not make any sense at all. Oh well! Haha Guess what’s today?!? You should know just by reading that but I’ll tell you anyways, it’s my birthday!!! :) Its super weird not being home for my birthday, I guess I’ll have to survive. Also I have noticed that there are a lot of cats here. I have seriously seen at least 20 cats since I have been here just roaming the streets.  Speaking of streets, they are super clean here. Like there is no litter or anything. It’s definitely not like that at home. But I guess that is all for now!
