Okay, so you know how I was praying to one day wake up and be brilliant in french????????
That didn't quite happen... but it was close enough to make me super happy!
I woke up this morning and watched a movie in french. I also put on french subtitles, which helped so much. Being able to see and hear the words at the same time made me understand the majority of the movie!
After that I studied french for a number of hours. Reviewed all my notes from grade ten, and brushed up on all the stuff I had forgotten. To finish off, I wrote a journal entry in french summarizing my birthday! (I'm not sure about the spelling, but the thing we cooked dinner on for my birthday is called a "raclette")
This evening I read some Twilight, which I understand an amazingly awesome amount of, and watched "la fievre de la danse" (so you think you can dance!) with Julie's older sister. We actually had such a good conversation, and laughed so hard! I understood so much, and I feel so good about it!!! I also talked to my new mum about insurance cards, and I understood!
YAAAYYY!! I am actually so happy right now! Tomorrow, I am going to study a lot more, and by the time I go back to school, french will be a piece of cake!!
I know I have said this about a billion times before... but I am getting the hang of this. I did all my laundry and washed my sheets today, and doing stuff like that makes me so happy. It's what I do at home, and I am so content to do it here. (PS... I think I might be falling in love with "Parisiean" Fabric softner.....) Tomorrow I am going to head to the gym and study some more. I am also going to watch another movie. At home, spending the morning watching movies is such a waste of time, but here, I actually learn so much!
I got a package from home today with my clarinet, shoes, pyjama t-shirts, marble cheese and nutella! It was so nice to get some things from home to make me feel more at home here. Things this week are going exactly as planned for this week, and I hope my miracle will continue for many more days to come!!!!!
Making my Miralce,
Carly
