Pass by in a flash

So this week has passed in a flash. I have gone to school, made lots of new friends, played later game, and am continually socking in all the French I can. I have already said everything that I believe that you all would want to know. Then something happened this weekend.

 We had an AFS weekend. AFS is an organization that helps people who want to go on exchanges. So this was like a check in weekend with everyone in my area that are on exchanges. So we stayed up dancing and partying till 2:00 in the morning. Then went to bed a half an hour later. We were then woken up by a siren that was played at 7:30 in the morning, and then the organizer of this weekend decided to sing to these songs really loud and blast the music down the hallway till everyone got up. The volunteers even began to pound on the doors to the beat of the music. It was a terrible way to be woken up and so I am running on probably at least 5 hours sleep if not less. 

Other than that unfortunate 45 minutes the rest of the weekend was amazing. I made lots of new friends from around the world. This weekend was so much fun.So I have one more week of school then I am off for 15 days. Cannot wait!!! :D

Jumbled Minds and Deep thoughts :S

I just want to say a Happy late valentines day to everyone. 


So since so manythings have happened to me since my last post I will be saying alot. I may jump from one topic to the next and I apologize in advance for that.I have so much to tell you all that in my head my thoughts aren't clear and clearly I have not thought things out. So without ferther or do:


So things in France have been fast paced but I Love it <3. eventhoug i do nut completly understand everyhting I am understanding more and more everydya. With that i'm also meeting lots of new friends. I have become friends with lots of French people but as well an american and a german, who in the few shorut days that i have known them I have come to love them. I have always wanted to travel the world and now i get to! I have seen:

For the people who don't know that I have to go to school well I do but the amazing thing is that On wednesdays I, well the school ends at noon, so after school at 14h30 I went to play laser game. For the people who dont know what that is like I didn't it just means lazer tag. it was amazing, but I though that since I was in France that I would be way better than when I was in canada! :D Well that was not the case I think that I was actually worse if that is even possible.

I can not believe how amazing everyting is. I look out a window and I see a castle, I can see all this history around me and I am in a way part of the history of france for many years to come, a minor part but I am a part if it and that gives a person something to think about for a while.

Woah that was deep. My youth leader Andrew is always asking us for a deep though or to tell the youth group on wednesday night, so that would be tonight, if you have had a deep thought latley. Well andrew here is your answer from me all the way from France, Latley i have been having may deep thoughs. Not like anything that I would consider mind blowing but still deep.

 à bientôt 

Home away from Home

So manay things go through my mind as i was leaving for france. The one thing that i keep thinking of the that book by Dr. Sessu. many of you may know this book called "Oh the places you'll go". the first few pages keep playing in my head as I leave for the air port.

"Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.  And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go."

So with my adventure jsut at the beginning, and having know way to tell what is going to be in store for me, well that just makes things all the more worth while. 

It's funny. as i sit here at this strange desk, in this strange house, in this strange village, in this strange country i have to say that yes i am home sick. That is to expected, but i have this satisfaction that i am here and i am doing this. I feel like an introudor but like a member of the family all at the same time. I know a couple person who said that this the best thing that i could ever do. That I come back a changed person and that home is only a FACEBOOK message away. Who would have though that in this day and age that we could communicate this easy with people that are miles away.

Thank you to all of the people that encouraged me along the way I do not think that I could thank you enough! :D

Miss you all
