Sorry I didn't blog yesterday! I had a really long day yesterday. School ended at 5 and we left at 6! My favorite part about yesterday was probably English class. The teacher was very nice and she talked in English for the entire class period. It was....A nice break. It was so funny, the teacher asked a student where her chin was in English and she couldn't decide between her forehead and her chin haha. They were studying the book "Uglies" that I've read before. After class, Océanne asked me to help her with her English homework and it was so funny to me. It was a passage with questions and it's so weird to think about how it's easy for me and not for her.
I'm starting to make friends and that's good! I think it just took a while for everyone to become accustomed to us foreigners.
Today I had gym class....and even though I play soccer I felt out of place because they were doing long jump! They were very serious about the technique and it was for a grade I think. I actually got kinda far and they were like, "Have you done this before? ". Gym is for two hours and every Wednesday we get at out 12! We need that in America. :)
I would be able to understand so much more if they talked slowly, but Solène's mom said it's unnatural for them to do so. I feel so dumb sometimes! It must be annoying to have to repeat themselves all the time.
I'm a lot better at listening, but articulating what I want to say is still very, very hard. I really hope I sound better than a caveman by the end of this!
Au revoir
Alexandra
