I'm always tired here. Everyone comments on it. And yes, part of it is my fault, I do stay out too late on the weekends and could probably go to bed earlier during the week. But even so. Speaking French all day is exhausting. No actually, it's not the speaking. It's the concentrating. When it's a small group, it's alright. But in class or at dinner, that's when it's tiring.
Friday was Mikayla's birthday. Emma made her a cake and we ate it in the morning. It was delicious.
After school I hung out in Hannut. Then Geraldine came to the cafe to celebrate her birthday, with Manon and Pauline.
Saturday Geraldine, Pauline, my host parents and I went into Namur for lunch and shopping. It was enjoyable. Saturday night I ended up going to Manon's house around 6:30 and hanging out there until going to a "balle". Geraldine had a different party to go to with people I didn't know, so I hung out with Manon for four hours and then headed to the ball. It was fun, but nothing overly exciting.
Today is Geraldine's birthday, but I think we're pretty much hanging out around the house, as she was at a party really late last night.
Overall, I am tired, but I am still enjoying my time in Belgium very thoroughly.
today I appreciate: differences
I agree it must be tiring to speak French most of the time. I think it might be somewhat the same with Tim speaking Spanish so much. But you're doing great! Keep up the good work. I love you!
