So last weekend I visited Ostande, Belgium. It was pretty amazing! Except for that time we were walking a lot in the rain, but I better get used to it! We went to the beach, went shopping, and went to Brugge. (I hope I spelled that right) Brugge is a very old town and it was awesome we went on a boat tour around the city. And by the way in Belgium, Ostande, they speak Dutch, which to me sounds like one of the silliest languages of all time. To me it sounds like this, "je flaben pour a graben flawjhfdbnv.khjfb.fb.dfk." So yeah, lets just say I didn't understand it. Anyway the vacation was great and school is awesome! It is going to be a good year.

I am going to Belgium for the weekend! Super excited!

Today I finished school at 1! And I also found out my parents are letting me go hang with a friend in Metz and I am super pumped! Things are going great but it is getting cold. A little. But I can do it! I also have started to understand some of things my teachers say but I am still doodling cool things because I don't understand but I think I am getting better! Also I ate McDonalds and it was good but I don't really know what I was eating, but it wasn't half bad. But the homemade French food id delicious!!!

 This is kind of late but this is the first French piece of land I saw from Charlotte to Paris

And this is Kyle. I sat next to him on a 9 hour flight, luckily he was awesome! I know this is really late but yeah.

Today was a long day in France I started school at 10 and finished at 6. It was an eventful day of boring school. All this preparation and talk about the BAC doesn't really concern me and that is boring. Lat weekend my friend Alissia visited me from Belgium. She stayed at my house and we had a good time. We went to the castle in my village which is actually quite small. And the castle is only open 2 days in the year because someone lives there. Well I will tel you more later. Oh yeah and it rained one day. I am sure the first of many cold, rainy days.

I have a friend. It is quite exciting. Her name is Sara and yep. So school is getting better and better each day! My best class is English and I think I have an A, which is good. My hardest class is probably German because I have never taken German so... yeah. Tomorrow is Friday! And every Friday I begin school at 12. Jealous? My French comprehension is also getting better and I am speaking more and more everyday! I am particularly excited for tomorrow because Alissia is coming!!!!! Yeah! She is staying over and I can't wait! She lives in Belgium and is visiting me before she goes to college. So that's cool. I also went to Luxembourg the other day. That was cool it was cool to know that one house it Luxembourg already has twice the history of my home country. Yep everything is great!

Today was another interesting day in France. So I started real school yesterday and it was kind of a big pile of merde. At first I was cool because I made some friends but then my French teacher kept yelling at us and I didn't know what she was saying I just know she was really pissed. So that was cool, but today was awesome. First of all because on Fridays I don't start school until 12 o'clock! It is the best and I had English class today. It was hella easy (luckily). I felt cool because it was probably my only class that I actually understood what was going on. I also went Thionville today. It was kind of one of the coolest things I have seen. There were cafés everywhere and cobblestone roads, only for pedestrians, and shops, and restaurants, and everything was amazing there. I can't wait to go there at the end of the month to see my fellow inbounds! Well yeah. School kind of sucks but my family is amazing so it's okay.

Today I went to the mall. There  was lots and lots of nutella. The mall I went to is like a giant Costco with a bunch of small clothing stores around it. It was interesting but cool. I bough my first book and my first piece of clothing. But it is funny to see how the American culture effects France. In the clothing stores there is hardly any writing in French on the clothes. Only English. And the American flag is a huge piece of fashion, why even the girl I sat next to in school today had shoes with the American flag on them. It was cool. I am in an English class in school... I hope I get an A otherwise the whole country of America will facepalm. Well, au revoir mes amis.

This is my blog for France now. I hope it works. So today was my first day of school. It was a bit hard but I got it. I am super happy I am here but I miss being able to understand what everyone around me is saying. On the plus side I LOVE the food here. Every meal I have had is made at home and is delicious. My town is very small and just like you would see in an old French movie. Cobblestone roads, a bakery in the middle of the town, a river flowing through the town, oh yeah, and did I mention a huge castle! I am super glad to be here and can't wait for more adventures.
