Saturday night I went to Chloés for dinner with Laurie, Justine, and Ingrid for Claires goodbye party. We ate a lot of little appetizers for dinner, including Chinese Chips, which I had never heard of before, but they were big, fat, white crunchy chip-like circles that if you stuck them on your tongue, they acted like pop-rocks! So that was cool :) Then we ate pavlova which Claire made (apparently it is a very Australian dessert) and talked. Ingrid and I left at about 12:30 am and ran back to Rue de la Balme (we live on the same street) because it was snowing hard and there was a bunch of snow on the ground. Sunday I slept in and then after lunch we went to a museum in Lyon and then to the movies with Marie-Pierre and Aliane. That night for dinner we ate endives wrapped in ham, covered in a beshamel sauce and cooked in the oven. I usually dont like endives, but cooked like that they werent bad! :) Monday I finished school at 1:00 and went to Part-Dieu to eat lunch with Laurie, Chloé and Claire. We took the bus back, and Chloé and Claire wanted me to go to the film history class with them so I did that until 6:00 and then went home. Tuesday was normal, and in French class I got back my Bac Blanc test.......0.5/20! I guess that means there is only room for improvment :) Today I had math class (which I am actually sort of understanding now, since we moved on from derivitives to trigonometry) and then the last class of badmitton. Next week we start swimming, and I have to buy a swimsuit soon. Then I came back and ate lunch and then Laurie and Claire came over. Laurie wanted to make banana bread because she watches Desperate Houswives and there was banana bread in one episode, and Claire like to bake too (and really likes banana bread). It turned out good, we found semi-brown bananas, but not really good-ripe-brownish-black ones. Then I went to dance class. Today we finished our dance to Men In Black (still havent seen the movie), though each class the teacher sort of forgets what we have already done, and changes a lot of things. Its semi-confusing. Then we started another dance to a song in Greece (the theme is movie songs this year). We are supposed to finish 5 dances by the middle of June, and we have one and a half in 4 months! I dont think were going to get there... :) Tomorrow I have an easy day, I am not going to have my TP SVT class or my Hist/Geo class. Then I dont have Hist/Geo on Friday either. Today Michel called an aquaintance (the father, who owns a restaurant and specialises in pastry (!!) of a kid who used to play basketball with Victor) and asked if I could shadow him for a day. He said yes!! So, if I understood, I will be shadowing him this Saturday!! Also, I have decided that when ever I like something my host parents cook, I will take a picture of it, and write down the recipe, so hopefully at the end of the year, I will have a real French cookbook. But we will see if I actually stick to it... :)
Tomorrow Claire Leaves for Paris on a bus :(

What's 'bac blanc'?
ReplyDeleteAnd you need to watch Men in Black. With all the movies you're watching over there, it shouldn't be that hard to save some time to watch that one!
And that cookbook sounds like a good idea! Bring us back yummy things! Preferably things that don't have snails or blood in them. : D
The bac blanc is a practice test for the actual bac de francais we will take at the end of the year. We have three of them, luckily I am not in termile (senior year) or I would have to take three bac blancs for every subject during the course of the year!!
ReplyDeleteMom says bring back some good exercises too or I'll be rolling around on the floor like BElla! We have enjoyed your chocolates and cheese so I can't wait for our first real French meal!love mom and dad.
ReplyDeletehaha 'mom said said' :) I will be rolling on the floor like Bella BEFORE I get back! Glad you like the chocolate and cheese!
