Jae Min, Kristina, and I decided to celebrate my host mom's birthday because she would be in Japan on her real birthday. Friday night Jae Min and Kristina came over to my house after school, I made a cake, and Jae Min made fried shrimp. We set the table and wrapped the gift before she got home. Fried shrimp is her favorite meal and she really loves chocolate cake. We got her an eletronic sudoku puzzle for her present so she could take it to Japan with her. She was crazy about the gift, Jae Min and I were really happy.
Saturday I made chilli and cookies.
This year in France was a big year for exchanges because they had a huge conference in Toulouse where all of the inbounds all over France met up for about 3 days. Paige came over to my house Thursday night and we made cookies and got our lunches ready. I slept for about 3 hours and Paige didn't sleep at all. We got on the bus for Toulouse with an incredible about of energy. The bus was really fun because exchange students are in general a bit crazy. We stopped in a big town somewhere before Toulouse and visted. There was a torture museum and a scare museum. We got to Toulouse around 5 and were assigned rooms.
Finding Laura was my main objective. Paige and I ran to every new bus that arrived. I was looking for my fellow Kansans and she her fellow Canadian. I was shouting Rock Chalk Jayhawk hoping that someone would scream back GO KU. However, that didn't work so I resorted to asking around. I eventually found her and we had dinner together.
The rotary organized a huge circus day. We each attempted different circus events and depending on our preformance were given a certain number of dollars. The one with the most dollars at the end of the event won. The circus events were really fun. We did plate juggling, sac races, tight rope, fishing blindfolded, and lots of other things. We had a small lunch then got back on the bus to go home.
The next two weeks I will be away on my bus trip.. I will write again soon :)
