Hey people! I haven't had much time to right in my blog what has been happening much, but this  is  what i've been up to since we got off the plane into france; (if you haven't noticed by the length of this post, i've been up to ALOT!)

so we got off the plane and stood in a big clump to get to our bags on a tiny little conveyor belt, which also had the bags from 3 other flights on it, so after about an hour, we all had our bags and we headed off. We got into our tour buses and drove for a little while until we got to Sacrée Coeur. It was absolutely amazing in there! I could have spent hours in there, but because we were running late, we only had 30 mins to run up the steps, have a quick tour around the inside and head back down to the buses.
After that we drove to the Louvre, where we first had lunch (some asian style noodles and some amazing pineapple cake) and then with a bit of time to spare before going on the tour, checked out the french apple store. We then took the tour around the Louvre and i must say, even after over 25 hours without sleep, we didn't want to leave.
Finally we headed back to the hotel, dumped our stuff and ate some diner (salad, chicken and baguette). When we had finished we headed upstairs and after a long hot shower, crashed! (It was 2 people per room, and my room mate was Emma)
The next morning, after a wonderful breakfast of croissant, yogurt and some kind of amazing chocolate cereal, we climed back on the buses and went and saw l'arc de triomphe, which was amazing and then toured the streets around it, like true tourists. After that we went to Notre Dame (to amazing to put into words) and walked down to what to them is a fast food place called Flunch, but the food was fantastic (the most amazing chicken in the whole wide world, french fries and salad, with amazing chocolate and peach doughnuts).
We then got back on the bus and drove to the Bateau Parisienne, and we spent a couple of hours going around the city on the boat. Eventually, we climbed off the boat and walked to eiffel tower, and went up to the second level, unable to put our cameras down. After that we headed back to the hotel, we all tryed 'escargot' and then crashed into our beds once more.
The next morning we got out of bed at 8:00, and went downstairs, all packed up and waited to be picked up.
Amarande and Fabien (her father) picked me up and we took the 3 hour trip to Blois, but beccause it was snowing the traffic was only moving at about 10 miles per hour on the high way, so it took us a while! We made it home just as Baptiste (little brother) was leaving for his 5 day ski trip.
My first morning in Blois: Valentine (little sister) and Amarande went to school, but i stayed home and slept on a little longer, then me and Nadine (mother) went out and she gave me a quick tour of Blois, then we got my bus pass for school.
My first day of school was a little difficult, but i met alot of new people, and i already am feeling more french! We had history, english, and math, and then we normally would of had gym and science, but the teachers weren't there because ITS SNOWING! Normally it doesn't snow here, but its snowing even right now! everybody is amazed and even though it's only a few inches, the buses shut down and they really aren't aquipt.
Anyway, for lunch what you have to do is (if you pay every 3 months, like most of the students) put in your code then scan your hand and the machine will give you your tray. you then get one salad, one fruit, 3 pieces of baguette and cheese, and a main coarse which was beef stew.
My second day of school was today, but on wednesdays it's a half day so after english, history and physics, we headed home and ate there.
The food here is FANTASTIC!! So far i have had chicken, potatoe and carrot soup, spring roll kind of things and chicken nuggets (not like ours, but amazing). The eating schedual is very different; we have a small breakfast (homemade orange juice with a piece of baguette) and very big lunch, then a small 'gouter' when we get home from school at 5:00 and then a smaller, left overs type of supper. Eating really does solve everything. I was told today that if you are sick you must eat and eat, because you cannot recover unless your stomach is full, so if you go see the nurse feeling sick she will give you biscuits, cakes and coke!
Tomorrow we are going to another school, and exploring different occupations that we might want to do. Me, Amarande and one of her friends have 7 different stations that we are going to see!
Anyway, I should go (i have been writing far to much), i miss you guys all a ton!!!! and hope to talk to you soon!
