Tired...

It's 2:30am here. I have no idea why I'm not at the bar, or asleep. Just decided to post a quick update. My throat is better now. I went out tonight and was drinking, but I still don't want to go to the bars. I got a 90 on my last phonetics test and an 81 overall in one of my grammar courses. I was very excited to here that. I was talking with Ambre again tonight. I wanna take her back to Newfoundland with me! She's so adorable. There's not a whole lot of new news, so I'm gonna leave it at that for now. I'll post again as soon as I can. Miss everyone

P.S. I'm too tired to try and find a quote to put here!

Sick, and in St. Pierre...lovely!

So as my title says, I'm sick. I have a sore throat. It hurts so much. I think it is because of the smoke from the bars to be honest. But despite the fact that I have a sore throat, today was an awesome day! I spent the afternoon talking to Mme. Luberry (the woman that I am staying with) and Ambre (her great-grand-daughter). It was good because I was speaking all french. I didn't understand everything that they said (obviously), but I understood it for the most part. Ambre (that's how they spell Amber in french, yeah I know, they're backwards), was talking about swimming, and I understood everything she said. She was almost as excited as I was when I told her that I understood her.

The house that we are staying in has an upper level. We have been here 6 weeks and haven't been upstairs. Today Mme. Luberry showed me the upstairs. I'm so jealous because the rooms upstairs are a lot nicer than our rooms. I didn't want to stay in my room after that, but I like my room anyway (did I mention that I have a sink in my room?)

I went to Bertrand's tonight for a little bit....bad idea. My throat is killing me right now. It has gotten worse! If only I knew how to stop talking...hmm, not possible. :P I hope I feel a little bit better tomorrow because I need to go to a souvenir shop. I haven't even been to one yet. Actually, I went to one, but it wasn't specifically for souvenirs.

Anyway, that's it for me for tonight! I am so glad to see a couple new posts on my bulletin board! G'night everyone (It's 2:30am here)

Bon soir! (Had to throw some French in there somewhere!)

Presque vendredi! (Almost Friday!)

So I found out on Tuesday that I can't come home on December 7th anymore. I have to wait and come home on the 8th instead. Apparently the flight leaving here doesn't get in St. John's until 5 and my flight from St. John's to Deer Lake was at 5:30. I would have never been able to make the connection. So I have my flight changed to 10AM Saturday morning....I'm getting excited for it already!

I got a package from mom today with all kinds of goodies in it. It was so nice to get it! It was like Christmas had come early. We have been watching One Tree Hill while we are here. We have the 4th season watched, and we are now watching the first season. We are a little backwards, but Erin already had season 4 on the laptop. We watched the first season online. Erin called her mom and is getting her to send us the second season. I think Stacey is getting the third season sent.

We had juggling on Tuesday afternoon. It was really fun. I can't exactly juggle, but I can do better than I thought I'd be able to. I'm gonna keep practicing and who knows. I might be able to by the time I get home. Anyway, that's all for me for now.

La morale de cette histoire, c'est qu'il faut boire avant d'mourir!
(The morale of this story is that you must drink before you die!)

P.S. Photo count has gone up, I just can't remember it! Lol....close to 500 I think! The little quote about drinking is song lyrics from one of the songs that we sing in class. Most of them are kiddie songs, but they are kinda fun to sing!

Almost done the fourth week...

It's me again! Just wanted to make another post to keep everyone up to date. Erin and Stacey are gone out to belly-dancing. Just got online to do some chatting and updating. Hope everything is well with everyone. Miss you all like crazy! Nothing overly interesting has happened since I last updated. I SUCK at pelote basque! And I mean I SUCK! I think I only hit the ball 10 times in the hour and a half that we played. I didn't take any pictures, but I'm sure someone will have some on Facebook. My arm is still really sore from it. This Friday we have "initiation au hand-ball" which is basically soccer with your hands (I think?). I'll let you know after Friday. Anyway, another (kinda) short post. Loves y'all!
