Okay, so, my first post for 2010...wow. One whole decade gone! Well, I'm glad to say that for me, this new decade began a few seconds after I ran up the stairs from a video conversation with Marine and Katie (the Australian host student staying with my host family at the moment) with three seconds to spare. Only to return a mere 30 seconds later to the same conversation.
So lately I have been trying to shop for the negative degree weather in Soissons...but all we've found are some polorfleeces from Kathmandu which my mum was extremely happy about, haha, she seems to like the idea of me attending school in snowgear...Now that would be interessting.
So I had a chat about it to my host sister and she's given me a list of clothing to buy (which we will hopefully get this weekend with only six or seven days until I leave *grin*), including : :
Jupes [[skirts]]
Pantalon [[pants]]
Pulls [[sweaters]]
Robes [[dresses]]
Bonnets (haha, at first she was kidding and thought she was mentally dressing me as a baby) [[beanies]]
Hm, so I've been looking online and have found a bunch of stores which have some lucky clothing condidates! Haha, wish me luck!
Oh, we did have some luck at DFO, where I managed to get two pairs of warm boots...yes, I know, kind of sad that's classified as luck, eh?

Sooooooo, yesterday I told my host sister that with French, speaking is my downfall because I'm quite shy when it comes to producing a French accent, haha. So I told her that she must make me speak...and she did.
Marine : : Tu vas faire quoi, aujourd'hui?
And I responded quite honestly,
Me : : je ne sais pas...
She then proceeded to tell me that was not an answer and to make something up.
Me : : Je vais regarder un film.
Marine : : What film?
Me : : "Rainy with a chance of Meatballs"
Marine : : what is it about?
Me : : Je ne sais pas...Euh, un garcon?
So after she logged off, I spent the day writing and creating my own story, in French, to "Raining with a chance of Meatballs" which I read to her this morning...Haha, 'twas interesting. That's the good thing about another language, you can be childish and just have fun with it!
Anyway, I'll keep you posted on my shopping successes *gulp*.
