sway my way
It's been almost four weeks, and I know that I really have to update my blog. I'm just so uninspired, like, it's been forever since I've picked up a pen and wrote down how I felt. Like, I haven't even been able to write poetry.
The two weeks were rather dull, and I seriously don't have to much to write about it. I mean, I don't want to remember the times when I was frustrated and annoyed, and I could almost have killed myself over how annoyed I felt at that moment...I mean, I rather remember the great things about my stay, so for myself in the future, I'm definitely not going to mention them :)
The third week, oh my God, there's so much I can write about it. It was absolutely beautiful in every way. Like, at school, anyone who has read this blog remembers me fancying a guy...and like, he's been making me absolutely frustrated for the past two weeks, and like, this week, its finally registered in my mind that he and I are meant to be friends. Like I seriously think he and I can be best friends by the end of the stay, I mean, we just click. LOL! We like the same things, Damien Rice, Lord of the Rings, and well..photography&writing <3.
Okay, and I spoke to my classmates, in FRENCH. I truly do love some people like Marilene, Maxime the Goth, Betty the Ah-Lian, and Stan the red converse guy. They're normal, and they're the social rejects <3 JE T'AIME! I'm being serious and not sarcastic at this moment, so don't think I'm being horrible, because I'm not. Yes, we really get along well. Although, I do feel a tad bit like a sasquatch at times.
The third week: [the best week since i've been here]
Okay anyway, I spent the week talking to Francois and Raphael, and of course, hugging everyone. It was really nice to finally hug and not to kiss. Oh yes, I had what in my opinion, has to be the most different raya ever. Like seriously, I had phys.ed on that morning. How freakishly cool is that? I mean, it was frigging hilarious though, I should have been stuffing myself silly and yet there I was, running like mad. Ironic but cool =)
After that I had English, and I guess it was like every other English class. Lol, and then I went home, and chilled, then I had theatre practise <3. I really do love it, seriously. Hmm, after that, marked the best moment ever I had with my host family. Maman did the sweetest thing, she made a special meal with duck and potatoes. It was absolutely wonderful. Like I really felt at home, and after that, we ate gateau de chocolat <3. HOME!
After that on Thursday, and Friday, it just passed by really smoothly, I mean, I went swimming at the pool, and seriously, it was hilarious, because the French really don't care about nakedness no matter what size you are. How cool kan. Oh yes, totally random but I taught Antoine and Francois-Xavier how to do my ghetto handshake. =). Yo! After swimming, I had geography, and the geography absolutely loves me. I mean, who wouldn't. Haha, he speaks in English to me and he explains everything in English for me =)
Okay, so the weekend came. BEST TIME EVER. AFS CAMP <3.
AFS CAMP [4th - 5th October 2008]
I arrived there, and I randomly started hugging people. Okay, it was just introductions and after that we formed some random human chain where we had to get tangled and then untanggled again and again. It was fun, except for the fact that my pants kept falling down, and we got very intimate with some people ;). After that, I was with Pauline and Valein and we were talking about our very embarassing moments. Mine were completely gone. I had to explain something horrible in French ;)...but it was cool. Hmm...once we were done with that we had to go on some fromage quest.. I was in the group with Gabriela [Paraguay], Lucinda [United States], Switzerland, and Cem [Turkey]....It was fun =)
Lol, after, we were just chilling in the room and then we found out we had to do something for the talent show. I was in the group with Fillipo [Italy], Giulia [Italy], Gabriela, Nera [Croatia]..and we were singing "I'm yours". Sounded horrible with all our different accents, but I loved every second of it. <3
Hmm, apres nous mange le poisson avec riz. C'est moyen, et apres...nous mange ... guess quoi? LE FROMAGE. Mais, c'est pas bonne. Hmm... after that, we had a 'party' in our room. There wasn't any food or drinks, how pathetic. But it was cool, we spent the time talking about random stuff and taking photos.
Danielle, Melanie, Adrien, and I [avec Nera in le background], kept talking until about 3:30am... when Thomas the old old old co-geek [25yearsold] volunteer joined to talk about Battlestar Galactica =)...He and I received a rather large amount of insults from Adrien and Danielle, but we're cool. Also, while we were conversing, we found out that Guatemala is one of the coolest party countries ever.
The next day, we just talked and talked and talked some more.
I loved every second of that week...
...and to conclude the final moment, Clarissa called me and we spoke for an hour on the phone.
Je t'aime.
