I know, I know, I’ve been bad; I haven’t blogged in over a week. Apologies all around.

Thing have been pretty chill… Manon’s Hawaiian and all of the other Hawaiians arrived on Sunday afternoon. I met them at school on Monday and OMG do they not speak French… they’ve only taken half a year of French… ever…

Yeah

SO! That is what I’ve been up to the last few days… furiously translating for 8 excessively chatty 15 year old Hawaiians and the rest of the French speaking world who have all miraculously and simultaneously lost their English skills. It’s kinda like a party. The really good thing about this is I’ve come to realize that I can speak French. Before I was only focusing on the things that I couldn’t do because everyone around me could (hello?! Mother tongue anyone?!) but as soon as I’m surrounded by clueless and ridiculously loud Americans I start realizing that I am not far from fluent. Yes I make mistakes ALL THE FREAKING TIME, but!!! I can translate!!! And everyone on both sides understands (or seems to understand) me. It has been a really big ego booster, which I totally needed.

Vacation starts today! How sweet is that? We started school 6 weeks ago and we already have a 2-week vacation. SUH WEET! That is how sweet it is. I’m gonna go to a party for all the Hawaiians this Friday and I’ll take pictures and post them. I’m also going to go with Christophe to his work one day next week (he works with all of the Bakeries and Patisseries in Aix-en-Provence) and I totally take pictures of that too. OOOOH tasty.


This is pretty much just for Rachel and Kim, but I’m totally on a John Mayer kick right now and have been listening to him nonstop for about 3 days. Thought you’d love that.

Write me comments or emails people! I’d love to know that people are actually reading this!

Love to everyone
