Day 11

Posted in Summer 2008, Uncategorized tagged , , at 9:28 pm by Laurie Callsen

Tonight is the Bôitre de Chanson. In which I am singing. In French.

God have mercy.

Actually I’m not that nervous. My prof has been helping me with pronunciation and today when I sang it for her she looked surprised. But in a good way.

Today has basically been practicing for tonight and studying for my oral exam (if Rachelle reads this she is probably laughing right now….). Today we went on a field trip to a farm. Being from a farm I had seen goats and horses and chickens before, so I wasn’t really in awe. The goats were pretty cool though. Their cries will probably haunt my dreams tonight. It sounded like they were screaming “Mom! Mom!” Freaky.

So yeah…. another short entry and I’m sorry, but I’ve been busy. And the more I’m in touch with “the outside world” the more homesick I get, so I try to avoid it.

Love you all!!

Six

Posted in Summer 2008, Uncategorized tagged , , , , at 4:15 pm by Laurie Callsen

I leave in six days and I still have a million things left to do.

1. get a haircut- this is the most important

2. buy 4589456 things (like facecloths, contact solution…blah)

3. learn how to wash clothes (yay)

4. pack

 

I bet you’re like, well you have six days, no big deal. Did I mention that I am the only one that can work at the pool this week, and I’ve got stupid hours like 9-10 am, and then 7-9:30?? And I live 30 minutes away from where I work, which is lovely.

I think I’ll go into town today and buy everything I need, then get a haircut right before I go. Oh farm life…. you are inconvient at times.

In other news, grad was AMAZING!
