Routine

 Last weekend was a really good one! I went stayed at a friends house on Friday night then spent the day in Lille on Saturday. On Sunday I went to Disneyland, it was really good, but so so so cold. I almost died waiting in lines for rides in -4 degrees, without any heaters. But other then the cold it was a really good day. My favourite thing about Disneyland was the atmosphere, there are just people everywhere and there is so much to see and do. It was really good because everything was in French and English, so I understood everything that was going on for once. I officially have a routine, waking up at 6:20 am week day but Friday because I don't start school 'til 11am. I go downstairs, eat bread with either Nutella or Jam, drink coffee and sometimes have a yoghurt. I need to have coffee in the mornings because if I don't, I fall asleep in the car on the way to school (because it is so warm in there and I am always still half asleep). I leave home at 7 and get to school at 7:40 because the traffic is really bad in the mornings. I start school at 7:55 and eat lunch at either 12h or 13h. I always eat at the school canteen which can sometimes have the best food, but on other days it can be quite average. The desert is always really good, first off you scan your card and take a tray, then you take your knife, fork, spoon and serviettes, then you choose your entree which is usually tuna, salad, tomatoes, grapefruit or sometimes it is a cooked entree but it changes every day. Then you choose your desert, they are always amazing. There is heaps of cakes, pastry things, yoghurt, éclairs, ice cream and other stuff. Then you take bread and get a glass to drink from. After that there is about 3 different menus to choose from, usually beef, chicken and fish. But it is cooked differently and with something different everyday. I then have more classes after lunch, on Monday, Thursday and Friday I finish at 6 pm, but on Tuesday I finish at 3 and Friday I finish at 12. I take the metro and the train home from school every day, which I actually really like, I usually just listen to music and look out the window. Usually after school I just go home and chill, eat dinner at about 8 or 8 30 then shower and talk to friends and family on the internet for a bit. But if I finish school early, I go into Lille with friends which is a 3 minute or so ride on the metro, we go to cafes or just walk around. My French is getting a bit better, but I am still finding it really hard, but I will get there sooner or later. This weekend I have my first Rotary weekend with my district and all the exchange students in it, we are going bowling and doing something else but I'm not sure what it is.. I sleep there overnight. Then on Monday I will be waking up at 6 am to go to Paris! From Paris I go to Barcelona with Rotary students, I'm so excited.
