Apres le 2eme semaine d'ecole.

Wow... It feels longer than just a week. Monday is AGES ago but le weekend is the best time for me to update so... wow.
Alright- lundi (monday) is by far my favorite day of the week because I have practically no school. 4 hours of it. Granted, Wednesday is the same situation but its somehow gratifying to be the only one that doesnt really have school on Mondays, plus, on Wednesdays I have 2 hours of English- boring! Much prefer Italian.
Speaking of which, I will remain in my 4th year Italian class- my very kind teacher has just decided to give me different work. Which really, I am very excited about. This is one of my favorite classes now, actually the class is boring but I really like learning Italian.
Really there isn't much interesting about this week. I was on time every day, I occasionally see Emily (other American) before school in the mornings and we talk (in French). I tag along with a group of girls including Charlotte, Caroline, Sophie and another exchange student, from Brazil, called Marina. All of them are very sweet. I generally walk half-way home with either Sophie (who is walking to the bus stop) or Marina, and Friday Marina and I stopped by a bakery, picked up pastries, and sat and ate them and talked in a little park.
I got a package from home on Thursday, and I think the jacket has not come too soon as it is starting to get cold here... in the mid-60s the last few days and if averages hold up I may not see another day in the 70's until I get back to Austin. YAYAYAYAYAY! COLD WEATHER IS EXCITING!
I started jogging this week- it feels awesome and there is a little path that runs along the tram that goes to the airport. close, and fairly nice. Unfortunately I may just have to forfeit my search for a swim team... its very difficult.

Realizations of the week:
There is no job more difficult than that of a mother and Malika constantly amazes me- she does that times 10. So to everyone who raised me- thank you.. I am finally seeing how difficult that is.
Yogurt is a desert. Apparently.
Omelets are for lunch.
Everyone smokes something, except, so far, my family for which I am very grateful.
I really got lucky with my family... they are awesome.

Le mot de la semaine:
argot- slang. I keep trying to help with English homework and such but it is more difficult than you would think. Especially when it comes to British slang.
