Like every typical Monday morning, we had to start the day off at school. Elise and I were almost very late because the bus we normally would take came early and we missed it so we had to take a different bus that even she wasn’t too sure about… Although somehow we made it just on time after having to walk through some back road shortcuts. We split into groups once at the school to do some small activities. My group did “theatre”. We split into three smaller groups and were each given a scenario (Written once in French and once in English) to perform. We were able to use costumes that the French conversation teacher provided us with and before we could perform we had to come up with some sort of script. Our group decided to just have the whole scene in French, but other groups decided to have a mix of both languages. Our scenario was a situation at a bus stop when some crazy passengers either forget their cards or their cards don’t work. I played a crazy old lady, Meg was a weird man, Gregoire was a thug, and Phillipine was the conductor/driver. It was difficult to think of French lines and even harder to actually act them out but I think our group was still a success. The other groups were funny as well especially a group of all boys (Luke, Drake, Thomas R, and Bastien) who pretend to be at a zoo where someone falls into the bear exhibit and needs a superhero, “Jackson” (Thomas R), has to save them. After this we had lunch at the cafeteria. There were chicken nuggets (which were pretty high quality for a cafeteria), pasta, bread, and a variety of side options and dessert. Some boys played basketball while most of us talked while sitting on the window sills of the gym building. After lunch we split up into two groups- one (a small group of 10) had a cooking class with the school’s Resident Chef, and the other was my group: who went and saw a French film. I honestly don’t even know the name of the movie. When we got back from the theater we got to try some of the pastries that the cooking class made and they were so good! When this was all said and done a group of people went shopping and others went on their own separate way.
We are watching the French Open right now because there is a Frenchman playing right now, but later we are going out to eat at a restaurant which is exciting 🙂
Okay, c’est tout pour maintenant. Au revoir!!☺️
