So the biggest part of this week has definitely been the rain. It rained and rained and was cold, then rained :) excellent. I'm told it should be like this all of November, so that's awesome. So school went along as usual.. there's not really much to report. We had another test in maths. This time it definitely sucked haha.
On wednesday afternoon Eliza came home with me - well, actually we took the bus to Wavre with Julie from my science class, and went to see her mum in her mum's shop. They have a parrot! it was pretty cool. We bought some hair dye, looked around a little, then Jackie came to take us home.
So, at home... seeing as we'd bought hair dye, i guess you'll assume we used it? well done!! Eliza seems to be quite the hairdresser, so she kindly cut and coulered my hair. It was very tame, a slight trim and a now mocha chocolate colour :) So that was cool. Umm.. we had two games of monopoly (it was still raining), and in the first she ended up winning more money than was actually in the bank!
Thursday night i went with the family and family friends to see a musical (where my host dad's son was singing in it) - it was pretty cool, it had like dancers and singers and actors. I guess that's what most musicals have.. But yeah, it was good.
On friday we had a day off too (thursday was a congé). So we all (not the parents) just hung at home. The two little ones were insane though, i just can't handle too much of them!!
Saturday i slept in :) :) and was pretty much home alone until about 4, me and coca. I was so brave though, the phone kept ringing and i've always been too scared to answer it, but finally i did! It ended up being my host brother's friend, but i managed to understand what was going on :) That night we went to the LMV (my school) Cabaret, a concert for the last year of the school - it was really good, it had singing and dancing and sketches. It was funny and i liked it.
Today i got up at 9, and it seemed like an awfully early hour!! But i wanted to skype mum and dad, which i did. unfortunately i got a little EMOTIONAL haha. I don't even know why, but i guess it's about time, i am kinda a cry-baby lol. But no, it was still good to talk to them :) But yeah, i think i'm a little tired and maybe a little sad. Maybe today is going to be a harry potter day haha.
Oh yeah, one of the things i was telling them started me off! On tuesday my class went on an excursion, and to get back we had to have our own means. I went to take the bus. I saw one with a girl i know on it, and saw the place i wanted to go in abbreviation on the front. So i got on and asked the driver if that's where it was going. So it turns out the driver was a penisface. He and his friend were like "ohh it's written on the front where i'm going, i'm not going to tell you. If you can't read you shouldn't be here, if you want to come on, do it but i'm not telling you where i'm going." so yeah. Penisface. So i assumed it was going where i wanted to go when i asked for a ticket to where i wanted to stop. he's like ok it's 1€40. Just my luck, i only have 40cents change. So i take out a 20 (usually they accept up to 20). He looks at me as if i'm a shit on the ground and says, that's no good here, give me the right change or get off the bus. Great. So with my 40cents i'm just magically supposed to turn it into 1€40. So by now i'm a little annoyed and freaked, because i have to get back. LUCKILY a boy from my class had come on behind me and heard a little of the conversation, he came up to me and realised i didn't have the right change. Most people in belgium are nice. This boy is one of them, the driver was not. So, the boy paid for me. I was so happy. Then for the rest of the trip i sat in the back and bitched about him. Made me feel a little better. So yeah, that was pretty exciting :) :)
Have a good day!! xx
