Day 9… I think?
Must be day 9. All the days are sort of mushed together here.
So I lknow EXACTLY why I get homesick!! It’s because after supper me and my group of friends usually split up to do homework, etc seperatly, and I’m left all alone. They live in the res on the COMPLETE OPPOSITE side of the campus as me, which sucks sucks usks. They’re really nice girls (et guy) and I wish I could see them more after supper. And then I went and read Mary’s blog and she’s having so much fun and not having difficulties at all, which makes me feel like a loser. Even though she’s been taking French FOREVER!
in 45 minutes it’s BINGO!!!! YAY!!! I’m pumped, definetly going out for that one. Although I’d rather sleep. And should probably sleep. But no. Which will start my whole boo-hooing cycle again. Fatigue+Language Barrier+Lonliness= Laurie crying over silly little things.
In other news, I was incredibly daring and signed up for the talent show. I’m going to sing the French version of The Phantom of the Opera, and tonight I sat down with my prof to work on my pronunciation (because the French don’t like their consonants, so they generally just skip them.) I did better than I thought.
Speaking of better than I thought, I got back my test from yesterday. Turns out I got 10/10. I was very surprised. I’m tempted to tape it the the Incredibly Noisy Fridge to remind myself that I don’t suck.
I am going to go catch a nap (maybe) before Bingo.
Love you lots and miss you!!!! It won’t be long (yeah, yeah, yeah)

YAY I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE.
I was being all weepy a lot last week, but I told Neha (as I believe you did too) and I talked to the counsellor and I phoned my mom and I haven’t cried since then. Though I still get sad, but not all weepy sad. Just keep busy! Don’t go to your room. Even if you’re alone, just sit in the salon/common room and watch TV or something, to keep your mind occupied. It helps me! Then of course go to every activity in the evening. That’s what’s kept me happy so far. =)
