Yay! Blog time!
I’m actually writing this on my laptop and I’m gonna transfer it to the internet when I’m done. I’m tell you this because I thought you’d all like to know that I’m so habituated with the french keyboard that I’m having a little bit of a hard time with the American one. Fun.
Ok, what did I promise last time? Theater, Drama, Dad, and other things I think.
Theater!
The class on Wednesdays is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever done. We do a whole lot of nothing while the ‘advanced’ kids get to do a full play. Our scenes are stupid and I’m fed up with them. HOWEVER! We went to this campsite this weekend and had happy theater intense work time, and that was a blast – well, not so much the time we actually spent working, but all of the silly fun time was freaking awesome. I got there around 10:15 on Sunday morning and we set up camp. We did exercises for about an hour and they weren’t all completely pointless. In fact, there were a couple of them that I’ve never heard of before that were really good. I find that with this theater class I’m way less self inhibited than I was with the Cap group as far as exercises and improv go, but way worse at acting (this may be because of the language thing… I hope. Either it’s that or I’ve just forgotten how to act. HA! That would suck) Violaine, Romain, and Mathilde all slept there too and we stayed up chatting until like 3am which was pretty much awesome. It really did make me miss the atmosphere at cap drama because I didn’t know any of the people they were talking about or any of their stories and my stories were semi useless because they don’t know anybody I’m talking about, but it was still really fun hearing their stories and just chatting really quietly for hours. We also were in charge of food (the 4 of us) for the 4 meals we had and cracked up because there was a bunch of food but no cooking utensils. It reminded me a lot of when the hand went to Twaine Harte and ana and I had to make salsa using a meat tenderizer and a plastic baggie. At this point I’m feeling a lot better about the show we’re going to do at the end of the year. Still not ecstatic, but at least I’m not dreading it anymore.
Drama!
My class at school is apparently, and I quote, "one of the most immature classes with the least respect for each other and the rules that Emperi has ever seen." There were two different incidents, one with a boy named Pierre being pissed off by this girl named Caroline over a span of 3 months and finally being fed up and smacking her upside the head with his notebook and getting suspended, and the other involved NataCha (apparently it is spelled with a c) calling 4 of the girls in the class whores and getting 4 hours of the equivalent of in-house. She had to sit with the vice principal at her desk for 4 hours working on Saturday morning. In addition to all of that, someone for the Espace SantÈ Jeunes (young people health place) is going to come in to our class 3 times when school starts up again to talk about our problems. This reminds me of the scene in Mean Girls where they all have to talk about their problems in the gym with the principal who is totally clueless about how bitchy girls are. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated.
Dad!
My dad is definitely coming to visit me (ß note to self, in french ‘to visit someone’ is RENDRE VISITE and not VISITER. I don’t know why.) I’m pretty excited to see him and to show off my fancy francy french skillz. We’re gonna be in Nice for at least 3 days, and then my host family is gonna either come get us and bring us back or more likely they are going to stay with us for a couple of days in nice if they can get the little apartment-y place. (another note to self, pack) After that, I have no clue what we’re going to do, but hopefully we’ll find things.
As far as other things go…
I don’t know what else to say. I’m definitely getting closer with some of the girls in my class which is really good. I got invited to hang out with like 3kabillion people over the break (of course the first break I have plenty to do is the one where I can’t do these kabillion things because I already have things to do. Silly.)
I’m so excited about next summer and about college.
I don’t want to leave France either.

That's RENDRE VISITE because VISITER someone means that you enter the person's body you want to visit !
I don' know if my English is correct but I know that I love you maybe I should call you the One-Who-Has-Got-A-Magic-Voice or the One-I-Love ;)
Thank you for being there.
Alexandre.
