School

hello,

Been much better the past few days. Went out to what i was told was dinner with friends a couple nights ago but it was really dinner at a kareoke bar. All the french guys were so eager to sing and i have no clue why, because they ere not very good at all. Some were better than others but most were not very good. It made it even worse that they were singing french songs, some advice from me...dont listen to french music! Dont know how the french people do it but we didnt get home until like 1230 and it was a tuesday night so they had to be at school at 8 the next morning. Whatever, i got to sleep in.

Slept in late the next day then headed into town because i had to go to a meeting with one of the teachers at the school. It wast really like a meeting but more of an orrientation, we walked around downtown and the school and got our timetables. The timetables were weird becausethey were the same as our french students but the teacher just said to highight the classes that we have to take.By the way the teacher was pretty cool, his name is M. Fillet, pronounced fee-yay. So we all thought that we woul have to go to school all the way till 6 and it was going to be so hard, but guess again. We highlighted the mandatory ones and i only ended up with 13 every week. they are all 55 minutes long. To give you a sence of how little i do, the french kids have 9 classes per day, the most i ever have is 4. Peice of cake for me.

Next was the first day of school.woke up at 645 and left the house at 720. I didnt have a class in the first block so i went and worked on some canadian work for an hour. My first class was history/geography with M. Fillet. Didnt understand a word, they speak so unbelievably fast that it is practically impossible to understand. So i sat there the whole class wondering what in the world this man was talking about untill the bell rang. Next class was french, where they are doing a novel study-oh joy! the tacher mumbles an barely anyone can understand but other than that it was good, still didnt know a single word. After french i was done for the day and i went with a few other people for lunch at this place and got a sandwich called a kebab. It was sogood, its like lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, and shredded pork, and they shred the pork off the bone right in front of you. After that, the 3 canadians that were there went into downtown and we walked around forever and got lost, but then we found our way back. Then we sat around until school was don and we ent back. Most of the people in the school are super cool and always fill me in on whats happening in the french conversations. Enjoying my time here.


Peace out.
