First of all... WHY OH WHY DO I LOVE THREADLESS SHIRTS SO MUCH!!! There are at least 10 shirts right now that I would buy in an instant if I hadn't forbidden myself from buying any more of them. What a delimma! *sigh*


In other news, I have a lot a lot a lot of homework for French class. And I'm seriously procrastinating because it isn't due until Tuesday. Sweet. That is one really bad thing about block schedualing. It perpetuates procrastination (alliteration!) because nothing is ever due the next day. Ever.


Our second trimester is almost done and the meeting where all the teachers discuss how much we suck is the 19th, so I guess next week? What day is it? The 11th? Yeah. The 11th.


There was a party I was going to go to today, but the kid who's birthday it is got sick and the party was cancelled.


Concerning the last post:
This is true also, especially since I am no longer obliged to have hot chocolate every morning. OOOHHH It was soooo good this morning. I woke up and it was like 9:30 and it was just me and christophe and I sat and ate bread and really foamy tasty coffee. Ahhhhh I loved it. My butter tolerance is way higher than it used to be which may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it. I'm actualyl kinda proud of that drawing. It makes me happy.
So now that there are actually a couple of french people reading this, Salut! Je ne sais pas quoi écrire vraiment, parce que chaque fois que j'essaie à écrire en français je fais que des fauts. Parler est BIEN plus facile qu'écrire. ET! En parlant de ça (parce que vous êtes dans ma classe non (sauf Val et Olsen qui parlent français mais que lisent mon (ma?) blog en anglias)) J'ai complètement raté le bac blanc qu'on a fait. Je peux écrire que les disserts, et Gavois me fâche (<-- Manon m'a dit que ça se dit pas trop, mais je ne sais pas quoi dire pour dire... eh... ça. Si t'a compris et tu sais ce que je dois dire AIDES-MOI!!)
Speaking of that (Gavois making me angry for everyone who doesn't speak french) I totally got into a mini fight with my him (gavois = history teacher) because he was supervising our french test and wouldn't stop yelling at people and I couldn't concentrate and therefore couldn't write at all, so I asked him (and I was suuuuuuuuper polite about it) if EVERYONE (not just him) could stop talking because we only had 10 minutes left and I had a whole paragraph to write still. He got pissy and after class said that my year here is almost over and it is clear that I haven't adapted to the way "we" do things in france and that it is my fault that i am unable to work when he is standing in front of me yelling at my table mate. I told him that I'd been in france long enough to see that it wasn't a 'french' habit, but more of his habit and that it was really only in his class where we are constantly interrupted during a test. He started blabing on about something and I couldn't take it anymore so I walked out. I'm gonna have crappy grades in his class for the rest of the year, but I don't care because it felt SOOOO good to get pissy at the authorities again. Ahhh.

OK, the blog is done, I think. That is a good note to end on.
Ahhh!! I have to sneeze!
love kendra

à tes souhaits!

I like it when you speak in french. Almost brings me back to the days in theatre class when we would email and talk in french about everyone else because they couldn't understand.

Good times...

Hello! I cannot what really write, because each time I try to write in French I make that fauts. To speak is much easier than to write. AND! While speaking about that (because you are in my class not (except Val and Olsen who speak French but what reads my (my?) blog in anglias)) I completely missed the white vat which one made. I can write that disserts, and Gavois annoys me (<-- Manon said to me that that is not said too much, but I cannot what say for saying… eh… that. If included/understood you and you know what I must say HELP me!!)

Internet translation TO THE MAX! And that, my friends, is why Olsen can tell when you do your homework with an internet translator.

Yup. Mr. Bechtel, please report to the Dean. You have a referral for violating the Academic Integrity Policy, Level 1.
Cecile, perhaps you can try: "Gavois m'enerve." Or if you want to be more slangy/vulgar try: "Gavois me fait chier." Otherwise, it's great to see your French improving.
Sorry you're having so much trouble with the French authorities. Next time you get really mad at Gavois, you can tell him he should be glad he wasn't a teacher during Mai '68 when he would've gotten a pavé upside the head.
