No whales It was too foggy to go. I was really disapointed but instead of moping around me and Jill “regarded Le Fantom de l’Opera dans mon chambre” (watched The Phantom of the Opera in my room)

I am currently in the blistering hot computer lab typing this on my glorious MacBook instead of those freaky deaky French keyboards.

I’ve already been here for two weeks!! Two weeks ago today I was…. um….. getting ready to leave, I guess. I don’t actually remember what I did that last day at home. I’ll have to check my journal. I think I went to Kindersley with Donna, perhaps. Anyway, not important

What IS important is that I am having a wonderful time and meeting new people all the time. But it’s weird, because we don’t really know each other. We can’t just sit and talk about random stuff because most of us are Debutant 1 and can barely string together a sentence (My sentences have horrible grammar and I die a little inside every time I butcher this beautiful language.)

Like Jill said (she was being very philosophical today), this whole experience is like a steep hill. We started at the bottom, and now we’re almost at the top. The rest will be downhill. Of course, I took it literally at first because we were on our way to lunch, and the cafeteria is on top of a slope. So it took me a minute to understand what she was talking about.

Tonight is the Lousiana themed party…. I am tried (mainly because the computer lab is so hot I’m falling asleep) but I’ll go for a little bit anyway. I wish I was a better dancer. For someone who kicks ass at music, I can’t dance at all.

Speaking of kicking ass at music, I uploaded my video from the talent show on my photo site (dropshots.com/lauriemarie) so if you are interested, and I’m sure you are!, you should watch it. I haven’t watched it yet. I’ve been way way too scared.

Tomorrow is Sunday!! Which means another lazy day. I might watch another movie (I brought Romeo + Juliet but decided that was dumb because I can barely understand it in English, let alone in French). So I guess that means I am watching Roman Holiday.

Oh, and today I washed clothes for the first time in my life. I had to get a girl to help me because I was a little lost at first (turns out the machine just wouldn’t take my money). And I didn’t even screw up sorting- everything came out the right colour. So now my clothes don’t reek, I have underwear, and best of all, I feel very independent. Don’t mock me for not knowing how to wash clothes. Mom was very reluctant to teach me. I think it’s because of the independence thing.

PS In other news, I got my official transcript results via Mom. My lowest was Math C30 (86%) while my highest was History 30 (97%). My overall official average for my last semester of high school was 91.66 which is pretty wicked if I do say so. AND! My Grant MacEwan registration stuff came, so Mom is gonan ExpressPost that ASAP. WOOT!

Kisses and Hugs!

PPS  If you are going to mail me something, make sure you add Bozo 3 after my name, so they don’t have to figure out what residence I’m from.
