HELLO! Okay, I know I kind of disappeared off the face of the planet the last two weeks. Sorry about that. I was traveling with Maddie and Angela during our winter vacation and all I had was my iPhone, and I just can't format blog posts from there (nor did I have time to). So let me catch you up on what's been happening.
The week before we left on vacation was rather uneventful. Seriously, I don't even remember what happened. I'm sure we did something, but it's all blotted from my memory now. The only thing I do remember is theater on Friday before we left--we finally got the full script and got assigned our parts. I am (dun dun dun) the evil sorceress. I was kind of hoping to get the romantic lead (yeah, right-- a girl can dream), but the sorceress should actually be a really fun role to play. I'm excited to really get into the role.
Other than that, I had classes. I got a couple tests back from my writing class. I didn't actually do too bad (at least on the French grading scale). On the written comprehension I think I got a 17/20 and on my written production a 15/20. That sounds pretty low, but according to my host family and other students, 10 is actually average. If you get a 13, you're doing well; 15, even better; and 17 is pretty spectacular (and almost no one gets a 20). I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that a 75% is a good score (feels like failing to me, but I'll take everyone's word on it).
Now, it's going to take me a while to sort through and upload all my pictures, not to mention that it's hard to cram two weeks of travel into one blog post. So I'm going to do three blog posts today (possibly tomorrow depending on when my host family gets home)--one for each city. I promise they'll be crammed with pictures and worth the wait. For those of you who are also on Facebook, I'll be uploading even more pictures there within the next couple days as well.
À bientôt!
