Summary of first three weeks.$BlogItemTitle$>
Okay what to say.
Uh, this is the first blog in a really long time. Well, I've been in France for 21 days. It hasn't been completely easy, but hey you know, that's the life of an AFS student. Yeah, let me give you a short summary about each week.
First week ;
I arrived in France on the 22nd of August, the first person to arrive and I was so completely lost. Met the people from Hong Kong (who, btw, are totally stellar). After that, chilled wasted time and bla bla bla. Okay, met the people from Nouvelle Zealand...Some of them were really nice, and the others, well, lets not talk about them. Uhh, okay...Oh, found my Austrian B.F.F Irina Pober who is such a great friend that I don't know what I'd do without her now. On sunday, took the train to St. Brieuc, stopped at the wrong station...Lamballe. Was on the train with Cristina, Volx, and some random Asians. Met my family. They took me to a family fete, was totally horrible, it was just French french french, after lots and lots of English. I had a break down and sat down in the middle of the street. Okay now uhh, they took me to meet Papa's grandparents, where we were going to stay, Bonne Papa et Mamita. Really nice people. And I met my Uncle, Jerome, who is a bit of an alcoholic, but at least he's a happy one. Met Maile et Perine (cousins). And had break downs every day. Oh well, that's life. At the end of my stay, went to Grandmaman et Grandpapa's Anniversaire, met Valence, Natalie, and Florian Coville who are the most awesome cousins...Seriously. SAW FOUR HOT COUSINS. Louis, Alexis, Nikolas, and an unnamed one. Oh well
Second week :
Had a break down on my first day back in Versailles, it was just so horrible, being in a completely different country, and finally unpacking my stuff for the first time. It jsut really dawned on me that hey, I'm going to be here for one year. Was very horrile, but I survived. Okay, uhh, I started school. Which was even more horrible than expected. I had a break down on that day too. Spoke to absolutely NO ONE. Well, I did talk to Raphael, but he was just..on another level. And not a good level. Had Wednesday off. Was really lost on Thursday and Friday too. Oh, and on Saturday. Oh well. I've stopped crying around this time. Oh yes, I went to the Palace of Versailles..the garden anyway. OH MY GOD! So beautiful. Perfect spot to make out. =).
Third week :
This is where I am now and it's Friday evening. I had a very odd week. It passed by way too fast, and more than anything , I wish I could repeat that awesome Thursday ( 11th September 2008). The best Thursday in the word. Okay, umm, nothing especially interesting happened this week but yeah. I'm a little Asian stereotypical loner. STELLAR. But I'm getting better, and I love life, and I'm thankful I'm in France.
