AHHHH IVE BEEN HERE FOR 4 MONTHS
Time does not exist. It is going way too quickly. Like, I can’t believe that had I not talked to my host mom last month, I would be leaving two months from now instead of eight. I am so happy that I’m here, and I feel like you all know that by now. Time is going way too quickly for me and I feel like I’m not going to get to see everything I want. But I also have eight months left and a few trips to Belgium to make. Hopefully, I’ll get to see everything I want to before my year is up.
Anyway, the girls are much better at cleaning up the table before they set it. That has been this weird giant relief because otherwise, I have to reset the table after they’ve set it on top of all of the craft supplies. Now, I just have to put the glasses on the table and not worry about stray markers or sheets of paper. It makes my life easier. Big M and P got into a fistfight dans la rue last Thursday and it was very frustrating to me to try and tell them to make decisions not to get mad at each other and also to not punch each other. I don’t know if I want to try reasoning with a seven year-old again. That’s like, the worst thing to try to do. They don’t like to be told to make good decisions. Hopefully, this Thursday will be better. But I think I just have Little M and P, so life is always easy with them.
One of my au pair friends is finishing up in three weeks. She’s only been here for three months, but it’s been a really fun three months. This coming weekend, we’re babysitting at her house, and then the weekend after (her last), we’re going to Paris with our entire group of au pairs to see Paris at Christmas. Then, I’m going to spend Christmas with my French family. I’m just happy that I get to finally spend Christmas in France. It’s been a Christmas wish for about 10 years now. I’m so excited!
I’m still super happy to be in France. I don’t know if I’m ever going to be unhappy about it, since France is so tied to me. It’s been a place of comfort since I was ten years old, so the one thing I’m not really looking forward to is going back to school. I mean, I definitely miss being in school, but I don’t really want to go back to the US. I know I have to since I’m not a French citizen yet, but I am not really looking forward to being back.
In other news, I tried vin chaud on Saturday. It is very strong. I only had half a cup that I shared with a friend, but it’s one of those drinks you have to be careful with, I think. I don’t really know if I’ll ever drink it again, but it was a good experience to have. But it was very strong and after half a cup I was feeling buzzed so that wasn’t my favorite thing but I was hanging out with friends and having fun so it almost doesn’t really matter. France at Christmas is fun! I’m excited to see more of it.
I don’t really know what else I can talk about right now because I am crazy and don’t really do anything besides watch Netflix and write history essays for fun.
Until next time!
