I think I'm forgetting how to speak english! I don't even think in english anymore and I always dream in french now! The other day I could not remember if there is one m or 2 in the word 'hammer', and I wrote it down as one and then my french friend CORRECTED me! Wowwwww I am pathetic! But its sort of good in one way, at least I'm getting better at french!
The thing about being an exchange student is that you leave every thing behind and start a completly new life. At first its really hard and you're sad but little by little you change and you settle in to a new life that is more exoctic and exciting than your old one. And then you begin to love where you are and you never want to go back and it almost seems cruel that they would make you leave a place that you love again!
I never want to go back.. I miss america but still! I love France and I love speaking french. I love my school and I love my teachers (except for my english teacher but I'm switching out of her class).I love everything about the riviera. I love how the road winds through the mountains and valleys and how you can see the ocean from way up high on one side and the snow capped alps on the other. And I love my little village which was built before jesus, and all its cobble stone streets and old houses.
So basically, my parents said that I have to go back to TCS next year and I'm really upset about it. My mom is on my side so she convinced my dad to let me do the caleb program and post secondary so I don't really have to go to school and like that I can find a job and I can work in my free time. So its not that bad, but I can't help but think that I'm going to feel really lonely. I feel like I'm just losing my last year of highschool. I do want to go to school and be with other students and do all the fun things that seniors do. When I was in 7th grade I did the caleb program and I was sooooo lonely. Of course I was 13 then so its a little differnt but still. I don't know about this. I want to go to school, just, another school. I don't understand why my dad is so uptight about this, my mom doesn't understand either, she doesn't care whear I go. Why does HE have to have the last word!? It makes me so angry how controlling he is! I've been feeling pretty down latley, everything is just so hard :/ I'm going to call my mom tomorrow, sometimes that makes me feel better.
Today my friends asked me if I've ever been to a night club before. I think thats a good sign that they are going to invite me! That is so exciting! Well I certainly won't be drinking!

Hey, I want to talk to you if that works somehow with the skype or phone or computer or whatever
It is kind of lonely to do post-secondary, but I think it's really worth it in the long run. You save so much money on school, (and of course I'm completely into saving money). Plus, you get ahead a year. I'm don't know what the Caleb program is, but you could always do like half PSO and half at school. That way you can still do the senior stuff at school. I really just didn't care that much, but now I wish I had spent a little more time with my friends since I moved away so fast-my senior friends did too; I don't know that all five of us will ever be in the same place again.
I'm SO glad that everything is going great in France. And it's awesome that you're doing so well in French! Maybe you will end up as an ambassador there after all! I bet you've learned SO much! Do you consider yourself "fluent" yet? I bet you're having a great time!
Hey, are you still alive?
:)
