End Of Holidays

Ive been in France for just over a month now and have just decided to make a blog site so i dont have to repeat the same story to everyone over and over again. Everythings going really good here, When i first got here it was freezing in Paris, and i could not understand a single word anyone was saying to me cos they all talked so fast! but im better at understanding them now and can keep up with the speed most times. My first day of school was pretty hard and tiring. Everyone spoke suuuuper fast and the teachers used lots of words i didnt understand so i just sat there in most classes doing nothing, but lots of people were really nice and tried to speak english to me when they saw i had no idea what was going on, and then some people would just come up to me when i was reading a book or something while the class worked and they would try make conversation either in english or really slow simple french. School in france is so much different to Girls High cos of many reasons: 1. It's co-ed, so you always have something to keep you interested. 2. No uniform, and everyone has there own style kinda so not everyone looks the same like in Palmy lol. 3. school starts at 8.15 every morning, and we finish at 12pm some days, and 5 on others. 4. Everyone smokes here. Before school, during there breaks inbetween classes, during lunch, after school, pretty much everychance they get everyones outside having a smoke its wierd. And theyre allowed to as well, the school even supplys ashtrays in front of school. The only subjects i understand in school are english (which is funny for me cos the teacher is not very good at english and has a hilarious accent) and maths(ive already done the subjects they are learning so all i need to do is link the french words the the english equivalent). I have just been on holiday for two weeks. The second week i spent with Nathalie(host mum), Fanny(youngest sister), and Laure(2nd eldest sister) in a place called Aulus-les-Bains which is in the south of France in the Pyranees, where we were skiing for the week. Ive never skiid in my life so the first day was not good haha fell over so many times, lucky it doesnt hurt when you fall on the snow. By the time we got to our last day of skiing i even went down a red slope which is the one below the experts slopes and i didnt even fall over! I did however fall off the teleski which pulls you up to the top of the slope cos it went over a bump and i lost my balance haha. Tomorrow i go back to school, which im kinda looking forward to just cos school there is so different to what im used to. Ive also just booked my tickets to Italy for in the summer holidays(july/august) which i am going to spend with Aunty Awerangi and i cant wait! the next holidays we get are in 6 weeks and my family are planning to go to Paris for some of that time which i also cant wait for itll be amazing there! Everythings so exciting over here, and i havent even felt homesick yet haha which is a suprise to me as i thought id be crying myself to sleep everynight for the first few months. Ive called home a couple of times and both times it feels so wierd to be talking in english as i am not used to having long conversations in english anymore, and when i speak english i normally have to go slow cos apparently i talk too fast lol, but yeah im sure im already losing some english. Oh and Fanny and her friends love it when i sing the grease song "your the one that i want, your the one i really want, ooo ooo oooooo, HONEY!" so they always play it on their phones and get me to sing along lol. They listen to a bit of english music but dont understand what the words are saying, so they get me to translate and then when they know what the words actually are they get all excited and sing it all the time like "Ms Jackson - Outkast" which they are in love with now. I asked them if they knew "single ladies-by beyonce" turns out the knew it but always thought that instead of saying "all the single ladies, all the single ladies" that it was "im a cigarette, im a cigarette" hahaha. Oh and one more thing, the cat loves me but i dont like cats. It is always in my room sleeping on my bed, and on the first night i just left it there but then it came and slept right by my face and it farts too so now i have to chuck it out every night before i go to bed. Kay yup thats all i have to say for today, ive pretty much told everyone everything so far anyway through FB, so yeah will right again soon.
