Wow.. In finding a title for this post I realized it's been nearly 3 months. I had to open a calendar and check to make sure, and sure enough, Thursday is my 3 month mark. Wow. Does it seem that long for you guys? Or that short, depending on your perspective? Three months. Unreal. That means I have seven left.. Here's what's coming up the next 7 months: Around December 18th (a few weeks from now) Christmas break starts, and we go to Paris and then to visit host family's family for Christmas. By New Year's we'll be back in town. A few weeks later I'll have my 'half-way' orientation with the other exchange students. A month later, I go to Turkey on a school trip :D and then there will be a 2 week school vacation, leading into March.. then another 2 weeks of vacation in April.. and after June, I come home. Not bad, huh?
Anyways, let's see.. what are some things that I've done this month? I've been reading a lot, and watching TV slightly more than before the vacation because somehow, I can understand a lot lot more! I've been to church, to cafés with people (very French, right?), cooking with friends and with my host family, and generally staying busy. Friday night I went to the theater (the live kind) to see two plays by George Feydeau. The actors spoke really fast (like Robby racing fast!) so I didn't really understand all that much, just the main idea of what was happening, but it was still cool. Last weekend I bought some boots, so now I'm slightly less of an unstylish American alternating between Ugg boots and tennis shoes every day for school! It's also handy because it's been raining a lot, so the boots are much more practical. It still hasn't snowed here yet, though! Today it was nice so this afternoon we went for a long walk in the mountain area. It was nice!
That's all for now, sorry if I'm all over the place with my writing!
Edited to add: If anyone wants to send me anything by mail, the address should have my host family's name in the top line ("Chez Mr. et Me. LAST NAME first name) Otherwise it might not get to me or get sent back to you! If you don't know the name, you can email me or ask my mom.. :)
