Oh my! I've been too busy to update lately, with a flurry of ISUs, finals, culminatings, and exam prep...sure signs of summer.
a LOT of stuff has happened in the last...month?
There was our Niagara Falls trip, which was a busload of crazy foregn and canadian kids on a schoolbus th the falls. We started all together, but then split off. Who knew that gift shops would be so fun??
Oh, and not to mention sitting up about all night with the worst sunburn of life. Good thing I'm not going somewhere overly sunny :P
Then there was Erindale weekend, the 23-24 of May. We all crammed in the hall to get our stuff into our rooms, then embarked on an all day mission of presentations. But it was fun of course, because all of us were together again. No words can describe the atmosphere of a room so filled with...happy?...friends? Not a word for these events. All the outbounds got the very attractive Rotary blazers, too. All super-size and super-red. We had some pictures.
We also had a great mission of how-many-exchange-kids-fit-into-a-tree, with many pictures to go along with it.
Once the nightly action was dying down, a few of us sat in the offic-y room, talking about just about every imaginable subject until the early hours of the morning, while finishing last-minute projects for school. The weekend was great, until the parents squashed the mood. After another day of presentations, it wound down with the inbound appreciation, and of course Luis' AMAZING song.
The room swelled with emotion, realizing it was the last time to be officially all together :(
It was after that that my parents shuffled me out of the room into a car to soccer, where I quickly fell asleep
In other exciting news, I GOT MY PAPERS from France! The whole pile of them, mostly in french, now sitting in the computer desk. I haven't ventured into the visa applications though.
I've got 4 host families, who all sound GREAT, a school, a town, my new home.
Ooooh, I could bubble over in excitement, but I'm too busy worrying about the last full week of school, and exams to do. NO MORE UNIFORM FOR A YEAR!!! Sorry, that excites me :P
