19th-30th March :)

(so, i speak french? or english? i think english for the poor australians who try read my blog!)
19th
so i woke up, and had breakkkky and finished getting everything organised for the snow. then a friend came over for lunch and we loaded the car. When we arrived, we unpacked the cars into an apartement with 1 bathroom, 1 toilet, a bunk bed, a double bed and 2 couches and a mattress for 7 people. When we got settled in, me and my host brothers went and swam in a pool that is outside and heated with snow around it, it was so cool :) also got my snowboard and shoes. which were wet!
20th
woke up, ate breakfast and got my shoes on, which were still wet... went snowboarding all morning then had a picnik lunch with my host brothers and host dad. we had a snow fight :) i fell over lots! then i swam that night again and afterwards we had dinner and i slept in a different spot.
21st
woke up a bit earlier, ate breaky and left. shoes were wet still. went with my host brother all morning, then returned to meet the boys. after lunch, i fell of the chairfesse which is like a lift which you sit on and drag your feet and hard to accomplish on snowboard. and i fell off 2 hills before the end, and i had to walk a bit and it was so difficult and tiring, in the end i skidded across a black run to meet the boys on the blue run! in the afternoon i got my host brother on the snowboard and we went for a lesson. then swam again at night. :)
22nd
woke up as normal, had breaky and chooffffeed off. went to the top of the mountain!!! had a lesson again at 12-1 then ate at the appartement. then i stopped around 3ish because I could not hardly move! then went to the pool and chilled off, then went to the movies that night to see 'Largo Winch 2'.
23rd
woke up a bit later this day and ate then went out. again a lesson from 12-1 and stopped again around 3ish because i had sore knees. that night i went to the swimming pool again, and had an awesome dinner and a good chat with my host mum.
24th
didnt board in the morning, went with my host parents and took Leo to his lesson then had a drink and chilled at the bottom of the mountain slope where the skiers and boarders come down. lesson from 12-1 and i had improved heaps. the teacher said i do perfect turns, and i did them on red runs, which is the second hardest. i had a massive fall afterwards, knocked my head, did a 360 frontflip and landed on my face... so i stopped but afterwards i went agai and we went on a few runs then took the gear back to the store. then watched G.I Joe and had pasta for dinner :)
25th
woke up, had breaky and then packed the car. when we got home we had lunch then i packed my bag for paris. then we drove for 7-8 hours and had dinner with a lot of people then went to bed late.
26th
after breakfast, i showered and we drove to paris. we drove around, looking at the eiffel tower, champs elycees, arc de triumphe and more. i was hanging out of the roof window taking photos, it was awesome. i brought a shirt and bracelets and got ready for the party on the saturday night which was going to be a blast!!
we got ready at the hotel of my host parents and then partied until about 4ish because the time changed forward here for daylight savings.
27th
woke up about 12;30ish by people chatting. then went to the hall where the party was to clean up and have lunch. we left there about 6pm-ish. we went to have a look at go karting but the track was boring so we just came home. had maccas for dinner and chilled for a while before going to bed.
28th

7th march-19th march.
WOOOOOOOOOOW. You'd think I forgot about the blog haha.
7th. Had my first day back at school. was pretty boring, but i went shopping with some friends during my free periods so it was not bad! it was a long day so after i had dinner i went straight to bed :)
8th. school from 8-12 woooo! short day! I had to do a presentation about the floods in Australia to my geography class. I was so nervous, but about half way it was a little easier and i stopped shaking! In the end I was told i did a really good presentation so I was happy. After school I just chilled, i read some of my book, did some homework and watched a movie.
9th. Had an awesome day because school went so quick. finished at 12 and came home to have lunch, then went to Manosque with my host dad to do some stuff with his business. Then came home later and had family dinner with my host mum aswell and then had an early night.
10th. school 8-5 :( But it went: double free, maths, history, EAT, free, double french, economics. then home, had a snack, movie. :) A quick day, and no homework!
11th. school 8-4 ;( it was a good day because i walked with my friend to buy a crepe, but was quickly ruined because the creperie was closed. and it was so so so so so cold this day! i froze. my feet were like ice!
12th. yes, saturday, school!! just from 10 until 2. it was mostly just a chil day, we only had 2 classes and lunch and a free, then we stayed in Manosque and went shopping and got dropped home by a friend and then i watched a movie with my host brother, but went to bed pretty early because i had been tired from my long week at school.
13th. had the worst sleep. but when i got up i skyped family, then my whole host family and i went and sat in the lounge room and had snacks and drinks (ice tea, coke) then later my host dad's brother and wife came over with their new baby (not even a week old) and i got to hold him and feed him! sooo small! then afterwards i began to prepare for my upcoming weeks.
14th. had school from 8-5 but it seemed to go quickly even though i was buggered by the end. i had classes all day and in between i went with my friends to play fooseball. I WON!! then when i came home, i watched tv, and went to bed at 10, which is early for me!!
15th. i was pretty proud, cause i ate 3 pieces of toast for breakfast. it was a pretty boring day cause it was raining, AGAIN. and i had to play sport and we played ping pong and i am surprised i am not actually so so terrible at it! then after school we were going to play badminton but it was too wet so it was cancelled, not sure why, cause it is inside. but anyway. internet died, :(
16th. school 9-12, and after continued packing for the snow. I went to bed at 9:30 and slept until 3am. then couldnt sleep. but at 4 i tried and i slept until 6.
17th. school from 9-5. for lunch at the canteen we had a burger and chips. then after school I came home and went into town to get a photo for my identity for the bus, canteen and snow. then i got ready for badminton, then played badminton from 7;30 until 8;30. I actually like badminton, everyone is nice and we warm up and stuff, and i was called a 'machine' at the skipping rope. then afterwards me and my host brother did a mini workout.
18th. LOONGGG DAAYY. school from 8-5 but it felt like so much longer, every class dragged on and felt like 1 hour was just 1 minute. But i got my canteen card, finally. then came home and the internet was finally working again, so i updated my blog, and also preparing to go to the snow.
NOTE;
I am going with my host family to the snow from Saturday the 19th until Friday the 25th, then I am going to Paris from the 25th until the 28th, then i am going to school for 3 days, then on the 1st until the 3rd I am going snowboarding again, but with rotary.
Sorry If i dont reply to emails and what not!
ciao! Brit

25th feb - 6th march :)
I've had a quiet few weeeks so this is probably going to be small. :D
25th
I wrote a few letters and sent 1 or 2 as well. I also went for a small bike ride and went to see my host dad.
26th
My host family and I went shopping in Manosque which was awesome, then we had fresh fish and chips for lunch (delicious!) and then rested for a while before going bowling. I came second, I only lost by 2! So close. It was so fun :)
27th
We all cleaned up. I dusted and whiped my room and also vaccuumed, and washed my bed covers so my room was fresh. After lunch, I walked into town with my host dad and 2 host brothers and it was just a quiet Sunday afternoon together at the house.
28th
I walked into town and got my speech printed for my Geography class. Then paid for my Euro tour and came back home and watched a movie in French.
1st
Slept in, had lunch with my host brothers and host dad, then watched a few movies and had a nap.
2nd.
I rode into town with my host brother, i sent some letters then we went for a ride out of town to buy some bread, then we came back into town and saw my host dad then rode home. Then watched a movie with my host brother and had a nap. Then after dinner I watched a movie with my host dad and host brother because I didn't have Rotary.
3rd
I slept in then had lasagne for lunch, which was SOOOO AMAAAZZINGG <3
then i went bowling with my host brother and friends and I met a canadian exchange student which was great :)
Then came back at night and had dinner then had a late night watching television then went to bed.
4th
I went to the pool in Digne les Bains for the day with my host brothers and some friends and it was good. Then when we came home we had beef bourginoun fondue or something for dinner when you put beef on this stick thing and you put it in the hot oil and wait and it cooks then you have it with a sauce (i had tomato ketchup) but it was really nice.
5th
We drove about 3 hours to the mountains for snowboarding/skiing. When we got there we went to hire me a snowboard and boots and my host dad skii's and stuff. Then we drove a bit more and caught a lift up. At the start it was hard, because on the first run we went from the top of the Mountain. but every time we went for the top (so about 5 times) i got a bit better. We also went on another run but it wasnt as good as from the top! I had a wet bum and it was so sore by the end, and my knee has a bruise and a bit swollen from falling on the ice! Then we drove home and we went out for couscous for dinner which was a good way to end the day.
6th
SO SORE TODAY :( my whole body aches. my bum, my shoulders, my arms, my elbows, my legs, my knees, my back, my neck, but really, SO WORTH IT!!
So, I Slept in, cleaned up, skyped family, then went out for lunch with my host family to my second host families house for couscous (again) but it was good. stayed there from about 12:30 until about 4:30ish.
Then I have uploaded photos, and am updating my blog :)
School tomorrow, not happy!! So early night, for the first time in over 2 weeks :P
Bisousss, A bientot :)
