Halloween/ Election

Today has been my all time favorite day at school. Since I am american and since we celebrate Halloween my english teacher gave me the whole class period to talk about halloween and bring a few things for the students. I made two chocolate cakes (from scratch and they were delicous) I decorated one cake like a jack 'o' lantern and the other one like a spider web. The web came out really cool looking. I even made the frosting from scratch. I brought tons of candy and a few toys for today and had an absolute blast passing them out. I made my classmates say trick or treat if they wanted candy so they said it quite often.
There are other reasons for my day being so great.. Since we had to eat last today my friends and I went to a supermarket and bought sausage, pain, water, and pringles. It was so much fun. I really really love my french friends. After lunch we had english class so we got to eat cake and I got to talk about halloween traditions.. I even taught my class the rude song we sing when we are little for halloween.{Trick or Treat, Smell my feet, Give me something good to eat, If you don't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underwear} It was so funny to hear them sing. I wish I had had my camera today.
The final reason today was my best today of school is because I was supposed to have the last two hours of the day filled with math and the prof didn't show. In France they don't have subs, so I didnt have class.

Tuesday for my class of Economics my prof had me explain the differences between Obama and McCain. I worked for a good portion of the day Saturday and Monday night I translated everything into french with the help of my host family and my dictionary. I am really glad I got informed about this year's election.
I made one mistake with my exposee, I pronounced the word abaisser improperly and I actually used a really bad word that is similar to the F word. It was really funny. I looked down at the paper and saw the word and in my head i thought Oh No! I know I am going to say this wrong, so I wrote the word on the board and asked them how to say it and I STILL pronounced it wrong, however, now I can say the word perfectly..
A lot of my classmates have told me that I am speaking better now. I think they are proud of me. I feel like the baby of the classroom and they are all helping me grow up a bit. I feel love for my classmates, it's really nice.. That is all for now.. I am going to the mountains for a week so I will write sometime after that.. Au Revoir
