well hello there, it seems like quite a while since i've last written anything, but that'll just make this one extra good :)
school's been continuing as usual, possibly even getting a little boring. I feel like i want to do something different, interesting. like i dunno talk to people i wouldn't normally or anything like that. That sounds a little lame but i feel like even just a little change like that would shake me up a bit!
Last weekend i stayed at a girl from my class' house and some other girls came over. we made crepes, a galette du roi and had a few drinks. it was pretty fun! on saturday i went home and hung out with the fam :) on sunday it was a really nice day and we all went for a bikeride outside which was really fun!
On wednesday this week i went with AFS to the European Parlement. Instead of taking the train like normal, Eliza (Latvia), Liam (USA) and I decided to take the bus. That way it was a little adventure! i googled mapped it a bit but really we had no idea where we'd be when we got there and how to get where we wanted to go! Luckily we had a very enthusiastic bus driver who gave us all the directions we needed, and with only some slight illegality we snuck onto a train and BAM! were there in one stop! We unfortunately had about 3 hours to spare, so went in search of a pub (we are in belgium after all). We ended up in an irish pub, and in search of something interesting i wanted to try a stella and coke, but the coke machine was broken so i settled for a stella and cider (called a snakebite!). So yeah, the actual parliament was pretty fancy! we got airport securite checked as we came in. the room was so clean! and nice looking. it was cool! That evening i took a ride with a stranger. haha. i got off my bus and a guy who occasionally gets off with me had a car waiting for him so offered me a lift home. i figured i could always army dive out of the car so i accepted. but it all turned out fine :) except that his maniac son drove through the village at about 75km/h!!
on friday i decided to finally take a little advantage of the sales. i bought an AWESOME hoodie and a cool book about india. so that excited me a bit :)
Yesterday we went to the new Clint Eastwood film, the Hereafter (Au-DelĂ ), in english. it was REALLY good! my host mum talked to me in english for the first time there and i got such a shock because she had such an american accent! almost not french at all! haha i wasn't prepared for that!
Today we're going to brussels to take part in a protest telling belgium to finally get a government, after 6months without one. so that should be pretty interesting too!!
I'm also very excited because i'm planning a trip to holland to go see My Chemical Romance and stay with a girl from NZ who's there on AFS. And then i could even meet my other host brother in real life!! :) :)
ok then. that's about it. byeeeee xoxo
