Envie d'aller en Italie!

On Sunday, I went out of Belgium for the first time since being here. I went to a small town in France, still very close to the Belgian border called Fourmies.  One of my American friends, Autumn, invited me to go with her.  She was going because her host mom was competing in a race there.  We spent the afternoon lazily walking about the town, then sitting in a place for a couple hours after ordering fries for her and a banana split for me :) I was still sore from dance on Saturday, so I didn't really enjoy walking around; I was happy to just sit and be lazy... But I think the waitress didn't really like us she gave us weird looks because we were speaking english and, though we spoke to her and ordered in French, I said "banana split" with my normal english/canadian accent, and so I think she didn't understand at first...

Monday was just a normal school day, and I talked to my french teacher about an oral presentation I'll be doing.  He's very nice, and he said it doesn't matter if I'm not talking as much as the other students, no one is expecting me to, all he wants is that I try my best and speak as much as I can to practice and get better at french.  I like him, as well as pretty much all my other teachers.

Today is Tuesday, and it's a random holiday :) So I slept in until just after 11am, and then after lunch I took a shower then went to walk for 5km in the woods with my host mom. It was actually pretty nice. The weather was absolutely perfect. I wore shorts and a t-shirt, but it was really hot in the sun. But since we were under the trees and whatnot, it was pleasantly cool. 

After, I went to check if I had any more money in my bank account and make a small withdrawl, then my host mom and I went to the grocery store. I got strawberry and peach flavoured yogurt :')

Tomorrow, after school (since it ends at noon) I'll be going to Brussels and meet up with some other exchange students. 

Also, my Aunt (who lives in Rome) and I started talking on the computer last night, and now we're trying to arrange a time for me to visit them in Italy :) I just hope I can get permission from Rotary! That's the only thing that would be standing in my way. I've already e-mailed my YEO.
