Today was a good day. I woke up naturally at ten and came out to have breakfast. I
didn’t bother getting dressed because I just didn’t feel like it and because I had
no plans I decided I would just play it by ear. Madame asked how to see messages
on her phone so I showed her. I ate a lot of fruit this morning. I had a
banana, kiwi, and a mandarin orange. Along with my usual little bread thing
with nutella and jam. Madame bought new orange juice so I had that as well. She
was also wearing her pajamas still. She told me that Beebow had woke her up at
6 and that she had been napping on the couch since then. We had a quiet morning
watching the music video station and she would ask if I knew each artist which
of course I didn’t. I did know a few though. And it wasn’t bad to have some
Phil Collins for a few minutes!
After that Madame asked if I had any plans and I didn’t I told
her she wasn’t very happy with that answer but I told her that I had homework
and so did all of my friends. So she took that better. She went to go to the store
after a while and then I started doing homework. It was going fine. I learned
my monuments class has like next to no homework this week and for my Lit class
we are watching a movie so I just have to be reading my book to get ahead. That
is nice! So it’s a pretty relaxing week (maybe) before midterms next week. I am
not sure how many I will really have because most of my classes had tests last
week, so who knows! I would be very okay
with an easy week though! I did my homework for my classes minus my paper by
the time she got back. She came in and said we are eating lunch downstairs. And
I was like oh I can eat in town and she gave me a weird look so I just said or
downstairs. The program doesn’t include lunch so if I eat here I feel like I’m
intruding but I guess I am not.
So I said bye crappy paper that I have barely started but is
super bad, and followed her downstairs. I put on some jeans first though but I
was just sporting my grippy socks which are awesome. It is still nice out so we
had lunch out on the terrace. I brought Paul the two sticker books that mom
gave me and he thought they were really cool. Laurence told me that we need to
all stop giving him gifts because he is mean and that my mother is too nice to
be sending them. I just smiled and said okay. But I think that will not be the
case… :-)
Paul and I played Connect four and I let him win a lot. After that he showed me
some games on his mom’s phone before we sat down for lunch. He went to change
out of his Pajamas. Laurence told me that he still has accidents and last night
he had to change three times. She told me that she was told NOT to tell me. But
I mean all kids do that so I was like eh whatever.
We all sat down and Laurence told
me that I eat like a kid because I don’t like tomatoes so Paul and I had pasta
and a hamburger patty which they call steak because it is beef. I was fine to
be eating like a child because it looked a lot more appetizing to me than the
tomato salad. After that was cheese and bread and fruit. It was good! We had
good conversation and I was able to keep up. Paul took photos of his Skylanders
and Jean-Claude force fed him so that he would actually eat. When we were told
our places at the table Paul was to sit by his dad and he was like Nooooo not
next to dad! A minutes ago Laurence had told me she sits Paul next to
Jean-Claude so he keeps him in line J
it was funny. There was a bee and Paul tried to shoo it and touched it but didn’t
get stung but he like freaked out. It was kind of funny he was just sort of
scared. It was cute though.
We got in the car and I don’t think
we actually knew where we were going exactly. They asked if I had been to
Marseille and the port and I said yeah I had and then they asked if I wanted to
go there and I said sure. But we didn’t end up going there. On the way Paul
kept playing with the window so eventually Jean-Claude locked it which didn’t
go over very well. Laurence gave him the books I brought and he had fun for a
while. I told him you aren’t supposed to stick the faces on until after you
color it and he said I will just color around it. Which makes sense I guess.
Then he took the reusable stickers and put one on the window as his mom told
him he could. After about 6 on, Jean-Claude saw and got mad and then Paul threw
his mom under the bus and she was like no but I showed her the cover of the stickers
where it said reusable and saved her. So it was all good. But it was a bit of a
scary moment! But it was fine. Paul gave me a sucker. It was strawberry and
delicious.
We walked around n the coast of the sea and on the pier of the harbor. It was cool and I nice day and pretty. Paul showed me muscle shells with barnacles. I talked to Laurence a bunch about I’m not exactly sure what but she would tell me things and I would forget them not 5 minutes later. She is probably the hardest for me to understand but I try!
After we walked around we went
back towards the car making the half circle again and ran into some people
playing Petanque. It is the game where you throw the big metal balls to try to
get as close to the rubber ball as possible. It is the national sport of
France. It looked fun and I talked about it with Laurence and she asked if it
existed in the states. I told her no but it looked fun. One of the guys playing
was listening and smiled at me and I think was going to ask if I wanted to try
but we had to keep walking. But I appreciate his thought J Paul threw the fish
back into the harbor again which I was like I am not touching his hands.
When we got back in the car
Laurence was like dang it smells like fish in here. And then she was like eww Paul
smells like fish! And in my head I was like well duh you let him pick them up
and they leaked fish water all over him… But I kept that to myself. But he did
stink so we kept a window down. We were driving through another town and
Laurence said she wanted Ice cream so we stopped almost immediately at a little
place. It was also a harbor and there was a little merry go round. Paul really
wanted to ride it and his parents were like that’s for babies but he wanted to
anyways so they paid for him for a ride. He got off and was really disappointed
that it wasn’t more fun. But his parents were like well we told you! We walked
around the harbor before stopping at a restaurant.
It was nice looking and not very
crowded so that was cool. We ate outside. We had water and Paul had hot milk,
Jean-Claude a coffee, Laurence une golfe (waffle) which I did not know was the
word for it with nutella, and I had an ice cream. I don’t know why Laurence didn’t
get ice cream when she was craving it but okay! I was like do I pay or no? I
offered and they said no. Paul ran around the patio with his ball so it was
good there weren’t other people there. His parents were like man this kid and I
don’t blame them. He has a lot of energy and doesn’t really listen to them. I
feel like they need to have a bit firmer of hand with him but eh not my place.
Jean-Claude paid and I learned the city was Sausset-les-pins.
We got back in the car and drove
home without too much trouble. The radio started making a weird noise and we
all were like what is that so we stopped the car and figured out it was a
skipping CD. We were all worried that the radio had stopped working. Paul
removed the stickers and Laurence put them back in the book in their places.
Paul accidentally ripped one and was pretty upset. We got back and I said
thanks for everything a few times. Madame came down and I helped her and
Laurence figure out how to find Madame’s email and save the pictures that
Laurence had sent. Jean-Claude was like you should have just sent it MMS. We
figured it out ant then went upstairs. I started my paper and wrote it I think
mostly before dinner. I am not sure if it is really done because it isn’t like
specified in length. But I hate the creative pieces because I am bad at
dialogues between characters, and especially between different works. I had to
try a couple combinations before I could find a pair that worked sort of well. I
had 2 angels and 2 devils to choose from.
Madame called Christelle the wife
of her son and she sent her some photos so we learned how to save those as well
as make alarms. I made a fake one for a minute later so that she would know how
to stop it. She said that was smart or else she would have had to wake me up at
6:20 to ask how to shut it off. J
It was funny. We had chicken and potatoes as per normal weekends and it was
good. After that we had two kinds of oriental cakes which means like India area
not oriental like Chinese, from the orient. They were interesting the first was
like honey and date sort of cornbread but more grainy and compact and the other
was like red and honey filled. It was a lot of sugar to get down but they were
both pretty good. I had the cornbread one before a bit earlier this week but I
forget when and if I remembered to write it. After dinner we were like where is
Beebow? We looked on the microwave, under my bed, behind the couch and the
curtains, on her bed and all of his usual places. We didn’t find him. We looked
outside even just to be sure we didn’t accidentally lock him out. Nope. We were
getting worried so I went to look under my bed. Nope. But then I noticed one of
the pillows n my bed had moved and when I went to turn out the light... YEP!
There he was! IN my bed!!! I called to Madame and she came and we laughed for
like five minutes. It was really funny.
After that we watched a movie
called le reine M… something. It was lots of blood and gore and killing people and
lots of sex. Like Game of Thrones but in French and more graphic. Definitely
rated R if not X. Madame slept most of the time and I wrote this most of the time.
Tomorrow I have class at 9 and I
get one my tests back… I am not looking forward to my French test return… Maybe
I just won’t look at it… I think that would be the smartest thing. Just don’t
even look. I think I might do that.
But I am not sure if I will have
pictures up tonight or not. I accidentally closed the window of the photos
uploading to the site and it takes a while so we will see. If not I will tomorrow
at school!
Bonne nuit!
