Je suis en train de comprendre

Today was a great day! They did a lab in physics and then we had math for two hours after that. The math teacher gives you this evil glare if you talk it's scary and funny at the same time.

For lunch I had a ham sandwich, and we had a super long break than I thought we normally have. I was waiting for Solène and I made a new friend! His name is Andrea and he was super nice to me. He said that he'd been to the USA before and that it was his dream to live in the USA. Solène said it's everyone's dream.  He also asked me if there were Taco Bells in Raleigh and I said most definitely hahaha. He really wants France to get Taco Bells, too.

One of my favorite classes of the day was Biology because the teacher was so, so nice. He even spoke some English and said he was happy to have me in my class. For the entire class we watched the projects that the students made! It was actually really funny.

It's amazing. I've been here for almost a week and I'm tremendously better at listening. I understand almost everything people tell me if they don't talk too fast. This is such a wonderful experience and I'm going to enjoy the last 2 weeks so much.

All I need to work on now is my speaking and my accent. Reilly,  Alice, Ombeline, Maragaret,  Solène,  and I are going to go to Toulouse on Saturday I think! Time to do some shopping!

P.S. I'm going to start writing down every word I hear and don't know.
P.S.S. If Mrs.  Guikema's class is reading this you stole my favorite teacher!!
P.S.S.S. If my mom is reading this then I love and miss you! :)

Au revoir
Alexandra
