Today I made a new friend with a cool kid called Malcolm. Thanks Mom. 😀

                We just left sancerre! Thank God. Because we also left behind a super creaky apartment. And we get to stop a really boring immersion class. And we get to stop using a mooing toilet. (Don’t Ask) Well mostly now I get my computer back so I can make some more blog posts. Yay!

             Earlier this summer when I had just started immersion class, I walked in and didn’t understand a word anyone was saying. This week I could roughly translate what the teacher is saying. Cool! 😀

Yesterday, Me and My Parents had to sign a bunch of papers. Why? Cause my new school has to give us a lot of papers. As I signed one, I was thinking. “Summers Going Fast”.

In my older post, We Are Still Learning, I talked about how we couldn’t get into a movie theater and watch something. Well, today, we are watching the same exact thing! We did it! Whoooohoooooooo!! Small victories for the win! (No pun intended)

               Recently I have been practicing my french with an application called Duolingo. Even though it is not the same as a classroom, I would argue that you learn even faster from it because you can compete with other people through the game itself. And you can listen to music. And you can stop class whenever you want. Awesome!

 

 

              Me and my dad just went to Parc Asterix (Credit Here), and when you bye a ticket for a child anywhere in France, it writes as enfant in french. So I just turned eleven, and now I’m an infant? Weird.

           Two days ago we went to the Pont de Arts Bridge where people hang locks all over it. Apperently they ran out of space, meaning they “shared” with some other locks.

Last week had a lot of cool stuff, but there is one thing that in my opinion is the best. I turned eleven on Thursday! So this post is going to summarize my whole birthday.

Morning:

I woke up and smiled to myself. “I am going to be eleven in only twelve more hours!” I thought. Little did I know that it was only ten hours, seeing as I had slept in until ten o’clock in the morning. I got up, switched my pajamas for some real clothes and grabbed some euros.
I walked out of the apartment and onto the street. “Time for some bread.” I said as I stepped into the Gosselin Boulangerie/Patisserie to get breakfast. I got “Trois pain au chocolats et quatre croissants” (Click Here For Help Translating) and returned home. Our friends Laura and Nuno came all the way from Portugal to France so we could all celebrate together. They were sitting, standing, and talking around the room with my parents when I walked in. We all had some food and then we went outside.

Midday:

We got together (not including my dad) and walked to the nearest Fnac after a bunch of window shopping. My mom got me a new video camera! Yay! Now I can make some weird videos!

Nuno also got me a blank notebook with the inscription: “Ma Vie a Paris” on the cover in silver, so now I can draw all sorts of cool stuff in it now.

Evening:

We have dinner at Relais de L’entrecote, and then went to the Tuileries Garden. We went straight to the ferris wheel and it was amazing. My parents were tired after that so Me, Laura, and Nuno, went to Amarino while my mom and dad went home. After we got back in the apartment, I was eleven but very tired. Strangely, I stayed up reading until three – thirty in the morning, which kind of explains my excitement.

Today it was pouring in paris, so we didn’t want to go outside to get any food. So we found a business called Allo Resto that delivers tons of different types of food. We may be able to survive here.
