Samedi (Saturday)
Today I started the morning with a quick skype with my Emsie
and then went down stairs to meet Aurelie’s parents. Robin spent the day/night
with them because we were going to Nantes and the less the better. So me, Ludo,
Aurelie and Alice went into the city of Nantes and wwwaaaahhhh I loved it. The
architecture here is amazing, everything is so cute and old. We went to all
these different places, the shops were soooooo cute; it made me so excited for
Christmas. The Christmas Markets were getting set up for next weekend and it
looks sooo beautiful. We went and got lollies and explored a bit. We then went
to the Chateau des ducs de Bretagne, I loved it! Then food tbh, food <3
Dimanche (Sunday)
Today my host family and I met up with Aurelie’s side of the
family to go out for lunch for Christmas. At the restaurant it was pretty good
because I was sitting next to cousin’s my age that don’t really speak English
so I was put in one of those situations where I have to speak French, and they
spoke quite quickly and I actually understood a lot of it. I think situations
where I am practically absolutely forced to speak French are the best ones
because I have to really push myself to listen because I can’t just say “I
don’t understand, can you say it in English?’ if it’s too much for me. After
that we went back to my host mum’s parents house and just hung out with the
family for a bit which was nice and I was having a good French day, I could understand
a fair bit and people weren’t speaking incredibly slowly to me.
I can’t be bothered writing my weekdays this week one by one
because they all seemed to be the same, teachers ignoring me, not understanding
a lot of conversations but I am totally getting better and also at reading. I’ve
been reading Harry Potter in French for my French class because they’re reading
Shakespeare in French so yeah, and I’m struggling with it so much and then my
teacher said she wanted me to read something more advanced so she gave me a
book on French history but it actually was so much easier to read because the
words were quite similar to English. It’s
really annoying though because on Wednesday’s I finish at one o’clock and all
of my friends do homework in the afternoons and I don’t get homework because my
teachers never give me the time of day (which is perfectly okay with me bc ew
homework) but I get so bored because I have an entire afternoon of just
nothing, so I really need to find something to do.
(sorry for it being short but I can’t be bothered tbh)
