Another week gone..

well, well, well.. here we are yet another week later. i must say, when i first got here i was thinking "wow! i have a whole flipping year here, that's so much!" I had heard people say that time flies, but i must admit that i didn't completely believe them! However, now that i think that i am already halfway through, it kinda shocks me! like, 'oh dear, how'd that happen??'
During the week it was school as usual, but i did have one fairly exciting thing happen! So I have a fair amount of free time at school, and often go to the coffee shop 5mins away. the owners are really nice and we have a few chats. I was talking with one on Tuesday and she kinda asked me if i'd ever be interested in a job! i was kinda shocked, but unfortunately had to go catch my bus so couldn't discuss it with her. obviously i'd have to see what it involved, cause i'm not allowed to sign up to do any work or anything, just odd jobs. so i guess i'll see if that goes anywhere..
I am now a little stressed about what to do for my community service thing. i totally can't think, but.. i'm hoping something will come to me.. haha.
We got given some information about morocco at school, and its making me fairly excited!!
On Friday we went, as a family, to Brussels to this big outlet store thing which was super cheap anyway and outrageously cheap now because of the sales. I found an awesome pair of converse which turned out to be only 25€, compared to 80 odd normally - and then in the end my host parents bought them for me as a gift :) it was super nice :)
On saturday i went to Liège with Lila and Nicky (USA) and we did a little shopping, then had pizza hut for dinner (yum) then went to the carré - its like a block of bars and restaurants. Usually it's the place to be and is packed with exchange students, however this week there just happened to be a big festival thing on so it was a little empty. not to worry though - we ended up in maccas eating DELICIOUS McFlurry's =) When i was taking the train, i had a hot chocolate with me. this creepy old black man sat down opposite me and started making movements towards it (it was empty by now, anyway). i gave him my best WTF are you up to? face, and he was like 'can i have some?' 'ummm... no. it's empty anyway.' 'please?' 'no! it's empty!'..... 'where are you going' 'i'm getting off at the next stop.' 'really?' 'yes' 'really?' 'yes' 4really?' 'yes! (i really was!)'..... 'can i have some?' 'no, it's empty! (come on you slow poke...)' 'well... how much was it?' 'i dunno, like 2€, '  'OK, just give me that.' 'what?!' 'just give me the 2€' 'wtf, no.' 'c'mon i'm hungry' 'no. (stared out the window, pumps up the music and ignores his moving mouth.' - it was both very frightening and very annoying!!! luckily my stop came soon. also i was like wtf, cause he was playing with these two cellphones the whole time..
This week and for two days next week, i have NO school! i am fairly excited about that :) so i may get a chance to have a wee look around at various places in Belgium! i dunno yet, for the moment i'm just enjoying a sleep in :)
Ok then, i'll keep you updated on any travels i make this week :) see ya!! xo
