Today has been a super chill day. I woke up around noon and ate lunch (leftover roti which I put in the microwave for too long, along with some bread). After that, my host family departed for some type of track and field race that my host brother was going to be in (he was really hyper beforehand, running around the house singing, I hope he saved a little energy for the race!) and I stayed home due to an incredible amount of homework I had. I thought it was going to take a long time, but I finished my two problem sets for Pre-Calc relatively quickly (the work in math is getting easier, now that I'm actually starting to remember it). I then proceeded to do my language homework, and it involved lots of using the français/anglais dictionary. Finally, I opened up "Le Louvre" to read five pages for Art History, when I got distracted by all the crap all over my desk.
So, to started clearing everything off my desk in a very systematic way, organizing stuff, etc. Very soon, all was arranged. I then remembered how yesterday I had come up with the idea to decorate the currently blank walls of my room with postcards and cards. So, I got a couple of postcards I bought at St. Malo, and the cards my parents and grandparents sent me, and affixed them artistically with Patafix. (Patafix is this cool yellow sticky stuff that you can use to stick stuff up. It's like this consistency of Silly Putty, and much easier to use than tape! It also doesn't rip the paint off the walls - major plus!) So, I had kind of decorated (I still need more postcards, send me some if you go anywhere cool! Or whatever, just send me stuff!) Coming off this artistic rampage, I was then struck by the notion to create a large schedule on one of my walls so I could know which classes I had which days. So, I found the pile of notecards left behind by the girl from last year, and started cutting them into specific sizes, writing the class names on them, and patafixing them to the wall. It all turned out very nicely, and I am happy that I can look on my wall and see what classes I will have each day. I hopefully will be able to memorize my schedule soon, but right now I absolutely do not have it memorized. Wheeee!
My awesome schedule is on the same wall as my desk, and it was absolutely amazing, except I discovered that my final class on the day on Friday was obscured by a bunch of books lined up on the desk (hello people, this is not a bookcase!) So I went about the task of relocating the books from the top of my desk to the bookshelf under my desk. Now it all looks very awesome.
Anyway, that's what I did today. Yesterday I was out with friends (Maggie, Kelly, Katie) all afternoon (or most of it) and we had the best crêpes and galettes ever for lunch! And then yesterday evening me and my host family went to a dinner party. This party was pretty big, and kind of like exchange student central. We had two other families there with SYAers, and then another family who had a student from New Zealand. For dinner we had these amazing sausage things. It was cool.
Anyway, I have school tomorrow and all. I should probably go read The Sun Also Rises.
