School is school, and the homework is starting to pile up. Although all of the homework is more or less optional, I am trying to do as much of it as I can. I spent a good three hours on a project for Religion, and my teacher was VERY impressed, so that paid off. I am acing all of my math tests, so that's nice. I also had a biology test yesterday. The things I understood I'm sure I did perfectly, but the word problems and true and false got a little tricky. And just so everyone knows, I'm not ACTUALLY sleeping in English class, that was more or less a joke since there is a bed in the room. As I said, I read Brave New World, and tomorrow during class I am going to help tutor one of the other American's in math, so I am utilizing my time wisely!
Yesterday was Wednesday, and after school I stayed in Hannut and went to lunch and then the cafe. When I got home my third host brother came over for help in English. He is going to an English immersion school and it is his first year. He was over here for over an hour, but the time flew by. I really enjoyed helping him out, and actually learned a few things in French. Some very useful words, such as hedgehog and seahorse.
It is time I talk about sillybandz. I am seriously starting a trend here. I've given at least one or two to many of my friends here, and they're giving them to their friends, and everyone is starting to wear them. Apparently they are being sold here, as well, in a Texaco. I'm very excited about this, and I hope the trend catches on like it did in the United States, although I'm sure that won't happen.
Today in math class I was talking with Mikayla about how I needed to buy a dress for a party I'm going to next week. And she told me that I should just borrow a dress from someone, considering that the euros I'm using aren't ACTUALLY Monopoly money. Then later in the day, after taking a math test, Eduardo commented on how I am so worried about getting the right answer and doing everything correctly. And Mikayla looked at me and said "Okay, Talia, if you get to use Monopoly money, at least go to Monopoly school as well!!". So now that's a lovely joke between all of us exchange students.
Sorry, this blog is really random. I've discovered the fact that I don't really like blogging. One of my Belgian friends the other day said how he used to love reading my blog, because it was interesting when everything was new and exciting, but now I just talk about boring things all of the time. I have to agree with him. I still hope everyone is enjoying reading it, and I'm trying my hardest to make it interesting! But there isn't too much overly interesting going on, lately. I'm just living my life, whether it's a Monopoly life or not :P
Tomorrow night I am spending the night at Geraldine's friend Aymeric's house. We are watching horror movies and having a little party. Then Saturday night there is a big party at the cafe I usually go to after school. So hopefully this weekend is a bit more eventful then they have been in the past. I'm not sure when I'll be able to blog next, but as always, sending love from Belgium! ♥
today I appreciate: monopoly
Your blog isn't boring at all! I check every day hoping you've written something. You seem to answer the questions I would ask if I was talking with you directly. I love you!
ReplyDeleteTalia your blog is really interesting, and if you weren't writting how i wouldn't know that silly bands were the new trend on its way to invade Europen, now i'm safe, but still i really don't know where to buy it, and if it will be on sale someday!
ReplyDeletetake care, ttys, bisous
Hi Talia. I am glad you are starting a craze with your Silly Bandz. You will think my boss is cool. We had a big meeting with all the Company lawyers today and we were given a stack of documents (boring) and some other materials in a small case - When I opened it up there were 5 Silly Bandz in the case. I told my boss you would think she is cool since she gave us Silly Bandz. I will send them to you when I have a chance. Like the other commentors I think your blog is great and I look forward to reading it. Tonight I am in a hotel in Connecticut and your blog made me smile inside and out. Dad

ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with all the above! I love your blog as well! And hello to Bernard and Marie, in case they are reading the other comments like I do. Your waffle pictures made me laugh out loud, and that is saying something. And IT IS NOT MONOPOLY MONEY, so don't pick up Beth's bad habits and definitley borrow a dress! Because we are not there 'living the life', it is not boring to us!
