DONC, JE VAIS COMMEENNNCCCCEERRRRRRRR!!!

Français/French:

Donc, finalement, je suis en vacances après une première partie LONGUE de l'école! La bonne chose est les vanaces sont normalement deux semaines à l'exception du week-end occasionnel. Malheureusement, même si elle est vancances, école ne s'arrête pas tant que j'ai des devoirs dans 7 classes et dans un j'ai besoin de lire une livre et faire une affiche sur l'auteur...merde. Vacances a bien commencé avec  une journée pleine de choses amusantes et des gens formidables! Honnêtement, ma famille des étudiants en échange est mon rocher, sans vous, je ne sais pas ce que je ferais! C'est merveilleux d'apprendre tant de cultures différentes et apprendre les mots et phrases! Amis sont importants dans un échange, et mes amis ici sont littéralement le meilleur dans le monde (amis d'échange ET amis à école!) (oui, j'ai changé, je m'en fiche mdr)! Pour vancances ma famille et moi allons à Les Châteaux de la Loire!! :D Nous restons là-bas pendant 5 ou 6 jours et j'ai hâte! Les plans pour les vacances d'hiver ont été....erhm....libérés...(Je devinais bien...), mais, pour maintenant, il restera une surprise ;) Bon bah, c'est tout parceque je fais pas beaucoup de choses importantes XD Je n'ai pas dit les noms parceque il y a BEAUCOUP et moi, je suis trop paresseux pour écrire tous, mais vous savez qui vous êtes, et merci :)

Au Revoir,
Andrew

Aussi, c'est juste pour français, Véronique, si tu lis ça, merci merci meric BEAUCOUP pour tout ce que tu fais pour moi! Cela signifie beaucoup pour moi :) Tu es la meilleure! :D

English/Anglais:

So, I'm finally on vacation after a LONG first part of school. The good thing here is, vacations are usually two weeks with the exception of the occasional weekend. Sadly, though it is the break, school doesn't take a break as I have homework in 7 classes, one of which involves reading and making a thing on the author and classifying things....crap. The break started really well with a day full of a lot of fun things and great people! Honestly, my family of exchange students is my rock, without you all, I don't know what I'd do. It's wonderful to learn about so many different languages and cultures and even learn the occasional phrases and words in that language! Friends are key in an exchange, and not only have these students and I become friends quickly, but I can honestly say that they are some of best friends in literally, the whole world. For the break my family and I are going to Les Châteaux de la Loire! :D We'll be up there for about 5/6 days and I can't wait to go! Winter break plans also got....um...released (heh...i guess really well...) and I can't wait!!! I'll leave it as a surprise for everyone until then ;) Well, that's really kind of it as so far it's really just been me sitting around, and going places with my awesome friends :) Guys, I don't mention names because good gosh, y'all know I'm not taking all that time to write all those names out, but, you know exactly who you are :)

Au Revoir,
Andrew

P.S.
FR: Voici une carte de la vallée de la Loire. Je ne sais pas quels sont ceux je vais aller
EN: Here is a map of the Loire Valley, not exactly sure what ones I am going to

It's crêpe to meet you (oh good gosh)

Helloooooo World! It's been a long time since I've posted on here as I've been rather preoccupied with you know, school and the whole I live in France thing haha. So let's get started!

(This will probably be how I set the rest of my posts up)

School:
Soooo, as you all know, I had some problems with school. I'm not going to go in to great detail about it, so if you know the whole situation, you understand. Here's the jist of it:
-I was in première S from the beginning of school until Thursday
-At the beginning things were ok, but I didn't feel like I belonged
-Things happened
-I went to Marseille where I met some of the greatest people ever who made me feel like I belonged
-Two weeks later I changed to L (with the help of my host mother and principle teacher) where I am now with my new friends and teachers

I honestly do not regret changing (sorry people from S). I finally understand what all is going on and now even take notes in class because I just, understand. The people in L are more accepting and the teachers understand why I'm here and help me when help is needed.

Life:

Life is going pretty well. I've started travelling places and was even invited to England with school! There's also an invitation from The Netherlands to come present at one or two Rotary clubs and I REALLY would love to go to serve as an ambassador to the US teaching our culture and whatnot in more than just one country! :D My mother has been such a big help over the last few weeks and I honestly don't know what I would do without her. Véronique, si tu lis ceci, merci beaucoup pour tout! She does so much for me and just, I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am for her. I have made a lot of new friends and they've (as i've said) make me feel like I belong. They help me out with school and fix my mistakes in French when I make them (which is a lot haha), so, guys, if you all are reading this, thank you for everything as well! Life in France is everything I could have dreamed of. I'm STILL discovering new places in the city (like I did today at Le Vogue and all over the Croix-Rousse) and having new doors open all the time creating new opportunities for me to travel, or to grow as a person.

I think that's about it because I realized that none of this is probably making sense, like I said, the whole english thing is going. This may look like I have my stuff together but my computer says 'that isn't right, are you sure you actually know this language?'. Oh well, I REGRET NOTHING!

Au Revoir
Andrew
