I'm here!
Yup I finally made it. The trip was hell though, let me tell you. The first couple flights weren't so bad. Made a couple of new friends. But the last leg... OMG! I wanted to kill myself! One other student and I missed our flight to Brest at 10AM. Go figure, and the only other flight was at 9PM. leaving us 11 hours to kill... Longest 11 hours of MY LIFE. And this whole time, all I wanted was sleep. Beautiful beautiful sleep!! By the time I arrived at the Brest airport, I was ready to collapse. My host father and brother greeted me. Along with my host father's friend who appearance saved his life earlier this year... I have yet to find out how... They had a giant boogy board with my name painted on it, which was really cool! I got my luggage and began our trip home. This trip had some surprises of it's own when the car's lights stopped working in the middle of the dark... THAT was fun. But over all it was a nice trip. I get to my host's house and they have been having a birthday party for my eldest host sister, Louise. I ate some food and had some pepsi, while they spoke to me. I'm a little frustrated, because I can understand a good deal of what's being said, but I can't respond! So they take my short replys as a indicator that I don't understand and repeat it in english. Haha I hope I get the hang of this soon... I woke up today at 3PM local time. This is going to be a long week haha.
