In recap.
First was history, not too bad.
Second was geography. The first half we had to draw a map and write two essays. I didn't have enough time to finish the essays, and I didn't entirely understand the directions, but it seemed to go over fine.
Religion was third. All except for one question, it wasn't too bad.
Fourth I had math. It was fine, I think I understood all of the questions, hopefully I passed.
Fifth I had French. I had a slightly shorter exam than everyone else, but in all I feel like I did the best I possible could, and I'll be happy with the result.
Sixth I had English. We had to create a skit (we being the exchange students) talking about all of the material that had been covered over the year. This ranged from meeting new people, The Christmas Carol, and Bob Marley. My teacher was very impressed with the result.
Seventh was biology. I was very disappointed, this exam was a lot harder than I was expecting and I am not certain that I passed.
But that's life.
Last night one of the teachers at school, Madame Gallo, took me, Eduardo, Emma, and Mikayla to a one man show she had written and was starring in. It was in Brussels. We drove out there with her, hung out backstage, went to get something to eat, watched the show, and hung out afterwards. It was really fun and her show was hilarious. It really made me miss theater. And on the plus side, I understood practically everything, which was nice.
This weekend I do not have anything grand planned. Most of the Belgians are still cooped up studying, seeing as none of them finish before Monday (Flemish test). Hopefully I'll do something fun with some other exchange students.
Next week, however, is serious party time, as everyone has finished their exams, and then it is Christmas.
And then my parents and sister come. Yay. Life is grand :)
today I appreciate: clean, white snow
Thanks for writing again. Congratulations on your exams! Sounds like you did very well. I'm glad you appreciate clean, white snow (so do I) but you probably didn't have to shovel it.
ReplyDeleteI'm still wondering what you hunted a couple of weeks ago. Let me know sometime.
Only a little over a week until your family visits. That will be wonderful for all of you.
I love you lots!!!
There are probably a number of people around here that don't appreciate that white stuff as much as you right now. I am sending another group of hugs for you to keep for yourself or to share with friends. I really enjoy reading your blogs. Have a wonderful Christmas.
