Ok, I have been incredibly busy but I will attempt to catch you all up.... Although I was very tired, I did go to the dance Friday night, which was actually really fun! It was called a Soirée Mousse so about every five minutes they sprayed everyone with foamy bath bubbles! We were soaking by the end!
Saturday I had to sleep in until noon because I was utterly exhausted, but my family understood completely so they let me sleep. I woke up, and from noon till about 8:30 that evening I worked on the farm with my dad, Benoit and some friends who work there, Fredo and Gauthier. I know so much about cows! It's crazy; I never thought that I would have already learned so much!!! And after a hard day of working my mom, Nicole drew me a bubble bath :) Now that's the life! Then Benoit, Nicole, and my sister Pauline and I went out to a very fancy dinner, with four courses, and ended up not getting home until about midnight! It was still a wonderful day, and I learned so so much.
Sunday I got up at a reasonable hour, 8:45, and because Pauline failed her big exam at the end of the year, she has been studying really hard because for the re-takes, and couldn't do anything, so I spent the whole day with Benoit and Nicole. We drove about 40 minutes to a big open air market and bought fresh fruits and vegetables, and then we went to see "the smallest village in the world". I don't know what constitutes a village or if it really is the smallest, but it was really cute, we went on a hike, had a picnic, and looked around in all the little shops. When we came home, Nicole took me on a little bike ride to meet Celine who will be in my class-- I am really glad that I know someone in my class now! Then, we came back and had dinner, and Benoit told me that that evening a baby cow was going to be born and he asked if I'd like to come see-- so OF COURSE I SAID YES!! So that night at about midnight he said that the baby was coming, so we got dressed and hurried out there and I saw this baby cow coming out! It was gross, but also so cool! It was a little boy, and they had just asked that day what my brother's name was, so they named the baby cow James:) That was really fun!
Ok so today, Monday, I ran a lot of errands with Nicole, we went to the bank to set up an account, the grocery store, set up a cellphone account, and then I got to see my school! There was a problem though, the school said I wasn't enrolled, but we had all my papers and we showed them! Nicole was very proud that we showed them that we were right! Then in the afternoon I worked in the farm with Benoit; I am really getting really good at setting up the machines to milk the cows and I am getting used to the smell!
It has been wonderful-- I am really looking forward to this next week!
