Lycée days

So, nobody should have to go through their first day of high school twice, and the second in the wrong language but there you go. I did it. And it was so much weirder than I thought it would be! I had Chinese, because I am an absolute nutter and chose to learn CHINESE in FRENCH, and the teacher is a darling. My French teacher was a'ight as was my history teacher. English lit and English were an obvious breeze. I won't have so many classes on other days thank goodness. Tomorrow it's two morning classes and then I'm free as a bird people.

The canteen food was so good oh my goodness we are talking French bread, apple yoghurt, me a meat stuffed tomato with potato and rice. Warm. I had lunch with my host sister Marion and her friend too which was cool. I was also introduced to a girl named Laure, who speaks a little English and she helped me to sort out a timetable kerfuffle and then I hung out with her and Alexia and Manon, who are all absolutely awesome.

After school my host father took me to get a photo for my bus pass, and we did some groceries in a massive everythingstore just down the road from the house. We also bought Yop. I think I am going to invest in the export/import industry so we can have Yop in New Zealand. It is a thick, yoghurt like drink that I am becoming dangerously fond of. 

We had a fantastic dinner too, bread and mushroom soup for the entree and a tomato ham tart for dinner then yoghurt and fruit and chocolate fish for dessert. With Yop.

I got to talk to some of you all recently, which was awesome. Thank you to everyone who dropped me a line, even if or especially if we don't usually talk. Special shout outs to the following:

Andi: duh. It is awesome talking to you and just getting stuff out there, your Skype message board is more or less my personal diary and i miss you like nuts but it isnt forever and I will try to send you the best French food when I can get out and do some shopping.
Blair: thank you for the news of back home too, it is good to keep up with current events, and the Facebook convos you and Andi are my therapists seriously
Mum: so, so good to keep in touch with you, we will have to sort out a Skype date soon, so we can talk face a face :) my host family don't seem to like the milk biscuits!! Woooohoooo. Miss you obviously but again I will return with lots of stories sooner than you think
Dad: I miss you tons and tons as well, check your Skype! But again thank you for all the support and everything, we will talk son I hope.

Well that is it for today, next post will hopefully include some long overdue pictures :)

Say super,
Holly :)
