Monday 1st March - Lundi le premiér mars

Had the first week back at school last week and it was a pretty good week, well most of it anyway. Apart from the infected pimple i was blesseed with, it was good haha. I tought some of my fellow class mates some very usefull words in english hahaha and vice versa, i love hearing them swear or insult each other in english its hilarious with the lil french accents. I also had two tests, one in english which was on the DANCES WITH WOLVES movie which i bullsh*d my way through as i have never seen the movie and arrived after they had watched it, but got the result back today and got 30/30 haha luckily. and the other test was maths, statistics which i think i did okay in except for two questions which i couldnt do, but other than that all the rest i had already done in like year 10 and 11 so it should be sweet! today i showed Fanny some Kora songs and she loved them, so there goes my work for the whanau! haha spreading the word in France. in the weekend i went to the museum of Angoulême with Christophe(dad) and there was lots of stuff there and even found a couple of maori things there too like a patu and cant memba what else. after the museum we went to the place they ived before which is called Villebois-Lavalette, which is about 30 min drive out of Angoulême and it is sooooo pretty its a really old little village with like a ancient market place in the middle of the village from like hundreds of years ago and a place where all the women from the village used to all wash their laundry etc, it was cool. Then we went to Christophe's ULM club where i met some of his fellow ULM friends haha that was ages and i got a little bored while all the adults talked but apart from that it was cool seeing the little planes and everything. Haha i can hear Fanny in the office listening to different Kora songs, see she already loves it! Lately there have been big storms in France only about an hours drive or so from here, and there are already over 51 people dead from it, but its not that bad here luckily just abit of light wind and rain. It was Nathalie's birthday today too, so we had a little bithday lunch for her yesterday, luckily i already had some presents and stuff left over that i bought over with me so i gave her a hing that looks like a pen but isnt a pen, im not sure what it is actually, and it has a twist on the top. Also today a guy at school, who has always just watched me smiling when i walk past since about my 2nd week here, said hello to me for the first time in stead of just staring which was nice for a change lol, but yes he always used to just sit there and smile and stare which was awkward but now that hes said hello its not as awkward haha. oh and i managed to figure out how to change the settings of my keyboard on my laptop from English to French so i can now write with all the little accents and things "comme ça". but i also had to write on my keys with twink just to mark where the different characters all are cos its way diff to english ones . i think thts all i had to say fro now, so will write more next time. oh yeah and my pimples going down:)
