HELLO WORLD

Bonjour tout le monde! It's been awhile.

Quick details of my last few days.

Saturday during the day I went karting with Geraldine for a group activity. It was really fun! We got split up into teams, which had to consist of one girl and two boys. I didn't know anybody at the activity except for Geraldine, so finding a team was interesting. But, luckily for me, I did find a team. We then had two hours to race, each team in one car taking turns. And the team who made the most laps won. Well, my team ended up in 13th place. Out of 16 teams. Pretty solid, don't you think? I was just happy that I wasn't on a super competitive team, because I was terrible at it!! I'm too scared to go fast. But it was really fun. I got better and better every time I went and by the end I wasn't TERRIBLE. So that was enjoyable. I met a lot of new people and got to race around a track. Not to mention eat some good pasta.

After karting we returned home for a couple of hours and then headed out to Hannut (where I go to school) to meet up with some of Geraldine's friends. And I should probably start specifying that at this point I would consider them my friends too. Manon, Pauline, Kathleen, and Aymeric, to be exact. And the six of us went to Mister Patate. Now, if you live anywhere close to Hannut, you know Mister Patate. It is supposedly one of the best restaurants around, and I have heard all of the teenagers talk it up like no other. So we went. And I asked Manon what I should order, seeing as it was my first time. She just told me to get a "Pain Mister Patate avec les frites". So, Mister Patate bread (direct translation) with fries. Alright, I thought, I can handle that. I order the food. We sit down. The food comes out to me.
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Needless to say, it was huge. Very tasty, but huge. I wouldn't have been able to finish off the sandwich alone, not to mention with the addition of the fries. Luckily for me, Emme showed up just in time to help me eat the last half of the remaining food.

After Mister Patate we headed over to the cafe. A bunch of my friends from school also showed up later celebrating a birthday, which was fun. Afterwards Emma spent the night at my house and we ate some late night ice cream and watched a movie.

Sunday nothing overly eventful happened. Geraldine's cousin Celine, who rides my bus and is in the same grade as me, came over and Emma and I hung out with her for awhile. Then I skyped with my family and then headed over to Emma's house. I spent the night there, trying on all of her clothes, talking, and eating wonderful food (of course!). 

This morning Emma and I got up extra early and made pancakes with some mix she found at a special British store in Waterloo. The pancakes were super delicious and a great way to start out the day. School was normal. English, Pere Boly, Gym- we played badminton and rock climbed, which I thoroughly enjoyed. At lunch we spent some time outside and since I spent the night at Emma's, I had my computer with me. Mathieu found it and started looking through my photos and listening to music. It was an enjoyable hour. Below are some snapshots.

Tanguy, one of the boys I eat lunch with every day. He found a hair scrunchy. Enough said.

Me and Tanguy. He's actually one of my favorite guys at school, because he always greets me with a "hello beautiful" or "there's the sexy American". It always cheers up my day.

My two best friends at school, Maxime and Mathieu. Looking ultra European wearing their scarves. I absolutely love it. Mathieu is also wearing a pair of Emma's sunglasses. Oh, the class.

Mathieu playing with mon ordinateur.

Yes, yes, you wish you were European and stylish like these boys.

The cutest picture ever. These are my friends haha :)

Me and Maxime, the nicest boy ever.

Hahaha. Good times.

Me with Martin and Benjamin. Martin rides my bus, Benjamin's my other lunch buddy.

Nerds.

After lunch I had Religion, French, and then Biology. Apparently everyone knew but me that we had a Biology test today. I had to wing it, but other than the probability questions (which I couldn't do in America either) it went alright.

Soooo. That's all for now, folks.

Today I appreciate: my family
