Aujourd'hui

I forgot my history book. But it's totally chill, because it was our teacher's birthday and we threw him a surprise party. With cake, wine, those annoying whistle things, champagne, party hats, presents, did I mention that they drank ALCOHOL AT SCHOOL?

DISCLAIMER: This is totally legal here, we were not breaking the law by any means. The drinking age here is sixteen for soft alcohol and eighteen for the hardcore liquor, but everyone usually starts drinking casually at a younger age than that. If this happened in the US we'd all probably be kicked out, but, it's a completely different culture here.

This is so different from the United States, and due to recent events which I have talked about on my facebook, I am so glad about that. Today, watching my classmates get all excited, I got excited about learning French so I can actually interact with them. They're all really nice.

For my English class, we had to bring in our favorite pictures, and I brought in the one of me with my best friends at prom, and I had to explain to them what prom was. It was funny because none of them recognized me in the picture except by my face because of my bright red bobbed hair. That was funny. When my teacher asked if I still kept in touch with them, I showed her the necklace that Stephanie had given all of us, that says "Girlfriends are family we choose for ourselves" and my teacher translated it for the rest of the class, and they were all like "AWWWWH!" Cute moment.

Tomorrow I have a Rotary activity. At 8:15 AM. What the heck man. Not cool.

Alas alack. Must go to bed.
