Hey guys! :)
Snif, it's already finished. I can't believe that it's been (only) 6 weeks! I will really, really, REALLY miss you! I will miss Danny's stupid questions, my BFF Joey, Vinnie's music, teasing Luisa, not touching Danny, In the Mix, the fantastic weather you have during summer, Joey singing "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley, and so on.
What did I like? I really like hanging out with you guys. You are one of the most... no... THE MOST WONDERFUL family in the whole world! You are really lucky to have a family like this, because the are fewer and fewer families like yours. This trip is the greatest trip I've ever took my whole life, and that, is because of your family. I can't believe I have to go! I promise I will come back to see you... when I'll have the money! (Guess who's coming for diner!) (Oh! I loved "Shark Week"!!!)
Mmmmmh... I also liked the fact that there was always popcorn :) . And thanks for the Lucky Charms (HALLELUIA!). I liked Anthony's diners! Miam, delicious! I liked the beach, the movies (again: HALLELUIA!), when Danny was wrestling Lydia, etc, etc, etc! There's so much to tell! Oh! Oh! I liked to fight with Joey and I enjoyed punching him in the face (sorry!).What I didn't like? Donuts (may they rot in hell!!!), Joey's buttface, sunburns... and that's it I think...
Hey Danny, I will send you a lot of Canadian Bacon, ok? Vinnie! Make me a list of music so I can discover new music groups... please!
I really liked going to Disneyland and doing the Tower of Terror with Joey and Luisa (best ride ever!). This was "Awesome"!
So, Luisa, it's your turn! I hope you will enjoy the rest of your stay in SD. I will miss you so much! I will miss the moments when you're late, your "Jesus Christ!", when we laugh for nothing, and so on. I wish you success in your studies and I know you will be a great doctor... just don't be late to your patients appointment. Just... a little "abvice" to you...! Hope you will not be too alone in our room...
Love you so much mi amiga! <3 Good luck with Joey!
Lydia, I hope the storm can come out more quickly next time I come to see you!
Hey Joey, don't forget the name "The Lonely Island". :)
Come to visit me in New York in 15 years!


xoxo                          Love you all! (except Joey)
MJ                             Je vous aime beaucoup!


Note to the next student using my (wonderful) bed:
You are really lucky to be here. This family is the best family ever. Take good care of Joey... and Lydia ;). Don't touch Danny by the way. Be prepared... they're going to find something funny about you and tease you... you'll love it!


P.S.: 1. Joey always "win" when we fight, even when I punched him hard in the face.
        2. Danny, don't be too hard on Luisa.
        3. Vinnie, I hope to see one of your movie in theater soon! :)
        4. If one day you decide to come to Montreal, you know where to go, right?
Oh, and one (I think) last thing:


Come oooonnnn!                                                           "

It's A Small World After All.

Hello my elves and fairies!

I just had the most wonderful days of my life. Disney is just supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! We had so much fun and I felt young again (pf, I'm only 17 and 5/6). Let me tell you about my 2 days:

Last time I wrote on my blog, I was telling you about Downtown Disney. This place is magical! There's a lot of shops and restaurant, music and a LOT of people. I bought gifts and we ate at ESPN Zone. Back to the Hotel at 12:45.

Disneyland and California Adventure

Wake-up time: 6:40 AM. Breakfast and preparation for the big day. In Disneyland at 9:30. When we entered the park, I was SO excited! I just learned that with our ticket, we have flash-passes for the rides: yes yes yes, because there is a lot of waiting in line.

After walking a little bit, we went to Star Tours. 65 mins of waiting! We decided to get a flash-pass. We were only able to go to the attraction between 6:20 PM and 7:20 PM! 

First stop: Indiana Jones Adventure. The waiting line was 30 mins long, but you get closer and closer to the ride every 1 min, so, it's not long. The attraction take place in a jeep, and let me tell you that the ride is rock'n'roll. I had a great time! 

Second stop: Pirates of the Carribean. You are in a boat, and there are figures who talks and it's really realistic.

Third stop: Haunted Mansion. Not scary at all (far from LaRonde's Haunted House), but really fun.

Forth stop: Big Thunder Railroad. Long and painful (for my back) roller coaster. 

Fifth stop: Lunch.

Sixth stop: Autopia. You drive your own car. Good practice (not). I also got my Autopia driver's license! 

We got flash-passes for Space Mountain because there was a line of 60 mins.

Seventh stop: DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE! Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you that with our tickets, we were able to go to Disneyland, but also Disney California Adventure that was JUST in front of Disneyland. 

Eighth stop: The Twilight Zone, Tower of Terror. Oh... My... God... the best ride EVER! I never had so much fun in an elevator! 

Ninth stop: California Screamin'. A HUGE roller coaster. Really really cool.

Tenth stop: Goofy's Sky School. Same as Toboggan Nordique, but cooler track.

Eleventh stop: Soarin' Over California. It's a big IMAX screen with moving seats (your feet don't touch the ground). Wow. 

Went back to Disneyland.

Twelfth stop: Space Mountain. A ride in the dark with a million twinkle stars. 

Thirteenth stop: Space Shop, where I found a t-shirt (no, I didn't buy it) with Darth Vader saying: Who's Your Daddy (haha). 

Fourteenth stop: STARTOURS. You are in a spaceship with R2D2 and C3PO. Really funny and fun.

Fifteenth stop: Toontown, with Mickey's House and etc. It's a really cool place and there is a lot to see. 

Last stop: Splash Mountain. This is the second funnest attraction we did. Wait 'till you see the picture...!

NOOOO, it's the end of the daaaayyyy! We watched the fireworks (best fireworks EVER) and exited the park. We were in Disneyland for 13 hours. We were so exhausted, my heals were killing me, and I was FAMISHED. I finally ate at 11:45 PM. YES! I ate my diner at 11:45! I thought I was going to throw up, because if I wait too long before eating when I'm hungry, watch out. 

This morning, I can't walk on my left foot, too painful. And "today I don't feel like doing anything. Toutoloutoutoulou, I just wanna lay in my bed. Toutouloutoutoulou. Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone 'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything. Nothing at all." 

Love,

xoxo

Hotel California

Hey guys!

Just a quick update on what happened last night and today (friday).
Yesterday, Joey and I fought a LOT. We kick, punch, tickle, and last night, oh! I was hitting Joey's shoulder and he turned to me... and BAM! I punch him in the face... literally. OHoh...
But we started to laugh and now, I threaten him if he's mean to me.

NOW, today, we left home at 7:30, stopped at the Starbuck and the Bank, and we were on our way to pick up Vinnie from his Art Camp in Valencia. After a call from my mom on Lydia's phone (!), Anthony put his iPod and we listened to his music. Later, Anthony put Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. I was so excited. But suddenly, I started crying.

We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

I was thinking about you guys. I wish you were with me. I started to think about a lot of things like Camine and here trip, CEGEP, Verine, Boisbriand, Mom, Dad, Drou, Florine etc, and I thought: what are they doing at this very moment! I love you.

Soooooooo... We were early (to pick up Vinnie), so, we ended up in a Wal-Mart. I bought 2 things... but I'm not gonna tell you what it is (surprise for my family: MOM! Don't say anything!) We picked up V. and Joey decided that it was time to reveal my super-secret: The Lonely Island. Yey.
Finally, here... we... are! In Anaheim, the hometown of the (Mighty) Ducks and also... Mickey Mouse! Our hotel is lovely! We are staying at the Hampton: Inn & Suites. Really beautiful. Free Wi-Fi (but I don't have my laptop), view on the pool, and a reaalllyyy... comfortable... bed. :)
We're leaving the hotel around 19:30 to take a shuttle that will take us to Downtown Disney, where there is a lot of shops, restaurant, and games.

I love you all!

Love,
xoxo

MJ a.k.a Minnie.

Did you guess?

Hi my princes and princesses!


Did you guess? YES! I'm going to Disneyland! The place where nobody's too old to go!
I don't really remember a lot from my last visit in Disney, but I do remember the Tower of Terror, and NOW, I'm going to do it (Gab: May the force be with me). But the first ride we're going to go is this Star Wars ride, because if you want to do it hours after the park is open, you'll have to wait 75 mins. Nah, not gonna happen! So that's why it's gonna be our first ride. I'm glad I'm going to be with the DeMaria family and Luisa. I really like them and we have so much fun together! It's a shame that there's only one week left, because I would stay here 2000 years, but I have to go back home someday (this day came too soon). Also, I would like to say to Drou to enjoy her last days in Europe.
A picture of my family, Luisa and I will come soon. I want to take one in Disney. 


See you sooooooon!


Love,

Beachin' Beach

Hello mis amores!


On Sunday, we went to the beach. It was the perfect day. There was clouds and sometimes, the sun appeared for 30 mins. No, in San Diego, it never (I swear to God, Buddha and Allah) rains. Never never NEVER! That is why I like SD. Everyday, it's warm and sunny outside, every night, it's cold (but not too much) outside, so we sleep well. 
So, to go back to the beach, we had a wonderful day. I went (this time) in the water. COLD, but after 5 minutes, I was ok. There was a lot of waves. Danny and I have defied the waves, although, at some point, I thought I was going to die. 


I know I watched a movie this evening but I don't even remember the movie... snif. I swear, I must have watched 20 movies (at least). I going to count them and come back on this later. ;)


This week, at school, we have to do a quiz on internet (www.findyourspot.com). They ask you a bunch of questions and at the end, they give you the cities that fit with your preferences and your lifestyle in the US. No surprise, I got the main cities in the country (Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York City, San Diego, LA, Las Vegas (yes yes!) and I also got Honolulu). Then, in class, we have to present our city and say why we would live there. Guest what city I picked?


I don't have class this friday. Why? Let me give you a hint: look at the picture . Can you guess? The answer, next post!


Love,
xoxo


MJ, the ... I don't know.

The Tilt Kilt and the Padres

HEEEEEEY!


Went to see the Padres! It was SO COOOOL (even though they lost...). Reminded me the Expo's games! I had a great evening. It was fun. I took a bunch of pictures and videos. I bought myself a t-shirt and a cap :). Ate ice cream and before the game, we went to this place called The Tilt Kilt, and this is NOT like a Chuck E. Cheese ladies and gentlemen (especially gentlemen). Imagine girls, with kilts, now imagine their kilts waaaay above their knees... and you can also see their tummy...got the picture?  Well, meet my waitress. Tall, blond, with big... heum heum... and tadam! As a girl, I just find it funny to look at the boys when the waitress leave their table. (Look at that hot piece of...) And also, for the girls, there was boys (few...) and they also wear a kilt. Lydia wanted to take a picture of me and one of the boys. NO WAY. 


This post was short, but I hope you're happy to know that I'm having a great time here!


Love,
xoxo


MJ, the Padres newest fan.

Friends With Benefits (and in front of the Stater Bros)

Hey guys!

I went to see Friends With Benefits with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. OMG, it was SO good! After this movie, we can say that Justin CAN act. Really funny! You should go see it. 

After the movie, I went to a little place called "Daphne's". I ordered a greek pizza. Miam, it was good good gooooood!

The funny part is coming right now. I was walking to In the Mix, and there was a guy (around 19-20) in front of the Stater Bros (supermarket) who must work for a foundation (church, praying or for children, I DON'T KNOW!) and he said to me: "Hi, how are you?

-Heeeumm... fine you?

-I'm good. Do you go to church?

-(weird look) No...

- Why not?

- Heuum, pppfff... heeuum, I just don't have time."

Then, he said something that I didn't hear and I just said: "Sorry, I'm not interested.

- Oh no, I don't want to ask you questions, I just want to talk to you.

- ?

- Yeah, tell me a little bit about yourself.

- Well... heum, (should I continue to talk or just walk away? He just seems like to be a nice guy...) I'm from Canada.

- REALLY?!

- Yeah, I'm actually learning english here.

- Ok... and you speaaaaak....?

- French. 

- Really I speak spanish! I'm part porto-rican! 

- Ah...

- So, how old are you? 20?

- 17 (what? 20? whoooowe!)

- Really?! 

- Yeah...

- And what's your name? 

- MJ."

And then, the blablabla on my name started. When people hear my name, they always think that my name is Mary-Jane.

-" MJ, just... MJ? Like, Mary-Jane?

- No, actually, it's Marie-Joëlle, but nobody can pronounce it here so... it's MJ.

- Ok MJ, I have a question: can I pray for you?

- (?) Heum... if you want to.

He started to say a long prayer for me. When he was finished, I asked him if I could give the foundation something. He said to me that I didn't have to, but I gave the foundation 1$. Then, he said: "Thanks. You are really 17? You are really beautiful.

- Hm hm hm... thank you... bye."

Can you believe it? Someone hit on me... ME! Well, I wasn't expected to be a guy who works for a foundation, but... you know... 

(He was cute, but not handsome.)

This was my night in Poway!

Love,

xoxo

MJ, the "I can believe it" girl.

Every day that I start at 12:55

Hey my owls! (Hreeeeiiiiiiibooooooou)


Today, I'm (as always) in the Student Café on EF Campus. Every day that I start at 12:55, I come here, doing things on my computer (AA's computer, sorry). But funny thing, I never buy at the Student Café. I decided today that as I always come here, I will buy something for a change. A "danoise au citron" and a Vitamin Water (miam). Today, I'm doing my schedules for CEGEP. 


Yesterday


I watched Nacho Libre with Jack Black. Very funny and it was really good. (Hey, as Androu's doing food critic all the time, am I doing film critic?) 


Nothing to report... I'm going to try to go to San Diego Zoo tomorrow. 


Love,
xoxo


MJ, the healthy wrestler  

Just to talk

I just want to tell you what's going on in my head for the moment:


1. I think a lot about Norway and the crazy nazi guy. In US, there isn't a lot of news and I heard it at school. This is terrible and I hope this guy rot in hell. 
2. One of my favorite singer is dead on july 23. She had something that no one had and she introduced jazz to our generation. Although she had a hard public life, her songs will stay forever. RIP Amy Winehouse 
3. American food is sometimes really tempting. Gosh.
4. Today, we talk about famous buildings in our own country. I told the class that there was the CN Tower, but I hate Toronto, so I said that the most famous in Quebec must be the Château Frontenac. Then, we talked about "classics", and I was the only one with the right definition of a "classic" (thank you to my enriched english class). We talked about classic music, theater, books, movies, and tv shows. I was good at this. 
Classic music: Beatles, Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson
Classic books: Jules Verne's books, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (THANK YOU REGINA)
Classic theater: William Shakespeare's plays.  
Classic movies: Gone with the Wind, E.T., etc
Classic Tv Shows (I was good at this one, all my class was giving recent shows): Three's Compagny, The Twilight Zone, FRIENDS. 
5. Watched Battle: Los Angeles, it was good, but very dark.
6. My hair's bugging me.
7. Tomorrow I'm riding the bike home. 
8. I have to go to San Diego Zoo, but when?
9. I'm thinking about buying a new dress...
10. I should go downtown SD... once.
11. Mom, Dad, can you send me video of me doing gym to show my family?
12. I'm tired.
13. Zzzzzz...
14. Go see my older posts... I had a couple of photos!


Goodnight my beeeezzzzzzzzzzz...


Love,
xoxo


MJ the dreamer...you know you are a dreamer. 

Things I forgot and update on SF trip

I forgot to tell you some things in my last post and I am going to do quick update on the rest of my San Francisco trip.


Things that I forgot


After the Café Bastille, I wanted to go to the SFMoMA, but it was closed. Then I wanted to go to the Contemporary Jewish Museum, but it was closed too... so that's why I decided to go back to my room. 


Update


The ride back home was fine. We stopped at Santa Barbara for 45 mins but it wasn't enough. This city is SO beautiful! If you want to go to the beach and relax, go shopping and eat in small restaurants, go to Santa Barbara. I got home at 12h30 am. I was SO tired. 


Monday


Today, at school, we had to describe a house (dream house, own house, host family house, whatever) and we get into groups. We try then to sale our house. After, we decided who has the best house. I described my house in Montreal... and I won in my group. :)
I talked about the flowers and the way the sun illuminates the living room in the evening. <3 
Next step: we will be against the other team. The group that wins, win a homework pass. 
Oh, and Joey and Danny are amazed because I can lick my elbow...


That's all for todaaaay!


How do I past time?


I started to play a game on my computer that I feel ashamed to play again. Long live Zelda and the Ocarina of Time! (Message to Gabe: I almost finished the game! Do you remember, there was this bug in the Temple of Water with the hookshot. I found a way! You don't care? Ok, I just thought you should know...)


Aurevoir my little stud. (Because YOU will be the teachèr and I will be the stud.)


Love,

MJ <3 SF

Foggy SF

Golden Gate Bridge (and my new blouse from Abercrombie)

Hi folks!


I'm in San Francisco, and I have a lot to tell you! I know that you have a lot of questions to tell me, so, I decided to arranged this post like a questionnaire. 


0. The first thing to tell: I LOVE SF. 
1. Why? The buildings' architecture is amazing! It's really beautiful! Also, the view is amazing.
2. Is it always sunny? NO, that's why it's COLD in here! Always wearing my jeans.
3. Who are the San Franciscan? A lot of them are homeless. I never seen so much homeless people in my life! They are everywhere! 
4. How was the ride? The ride was ok. 11 hours is a loooooooooooooooong time, but thanks to the rides to Pompano Beach, I was patient. 
5. Did you met someone? I met 3 grils: two french girls (19, 20) and a russian girl (24). They are very kind. I hang out with them and we get along very well even though the french girls don't know what a "sacre" means.
6. Do you have a guide? Yes, his name is Paul (29). Very energetic. 
7. How was your first day? Friday, we arrived at 8 PM in SF. It was foggy and COLD. We had free time, so we tried to find a good place to eat. We finally end up in a pub called Murphy's. Seriously, I could've order any type of alcohol and they wouldn't even care. But I didn't, because I hate alcohol. Uuuugh!

Crookedest Street

8. How was your second day? First of all, it was (again) very cold outside. Ate a croissant for breakfest. We went to see the Crookedest Street in America. It was really impressive, and beautiful with the flowers and the trees. After, we went to see the famous Golden Gate Bridge. My knee started to be painful after walking ½ of the bridge. After, we went to see the Twin Peaks, to then, after, make a stop at Fisherman's Wharf. Very crowded and a lot of shops. I ate a fish & chips (miam). We went into a lot of shops, and I bought something for my I LOVE t-shirt collection. The bus was supposed to pick us up at 4 PM to get back to the hotel. After 10 minutes past 4. I said goodbye to my friends and walk a little bit through the chinatown to make my way to Powell St, the shopping area. I bought a pair of black flats (check!) at my favorite store: Urban Outfitters. There was also t-shirts with Michael Jackson on it and I thought about my father (love you). After, I went to Forever 21, Aldo, Abercrombie and American Eagle. After all this walk, I did a little research on internet before coming to SF and I found a street with a lot of restaurant. I found a french restaurant called Café Bastille (to be connect in some way to Androu) and I enjoyed a hachis parmentier and for dessert, MACARON DU SUD!! <3 Miam miam miaaaaaam! It was 5 delicious macarons (and not just 1 big macarons "hamburger"). After my date with myself, I went back to the hotel because I was tired. It was 8 PM when I went back to my room. I took a shower, opened my laptop and watched The Odd Couple. After 10 PM, I started to not feel so good. I was feeling sick. It was the first time since I'm in California that I wanted someone from Montreal to be with me: my mom. I thought I was going to throw up. It was awful. I finally decided to go to sleep.

Transamerica Building (saw it by accident!)

9. What about today? I started to pack my things, because we leave at 1 PM. 
10. How's the hotel? A little hotel... just beside a... certain... kind of... cinema... for adult. Youpi. 
11. How's the other people with your group? A lot of unpleasant italian.


In brief, I enjoyed my trip and before going back to SD, we make a stop in Santa Barbara (oh yes). 


I love you very very very much! 


Love,
xoxo

The End of my Break

Hey guys! Sorry to have make you wait for another post! I took a little break, because a lot of things happened and I didn't feel like writing.


Sunday


Sunday, we went to the beach, not any kind of beach, a beach where there's rock, crabs, not a lot of sand, and... sea lion (though we didn't see one...). It was really beautiful. 
Also, I changed level at school. I'm an Advanced 1 now!


Monday


I start week 3. Nothing important to report... I think... if something came up, I will tell you!


Tuesday


This day was CRAZY! Because monday, we had last week schedule and tuesday, we began the new schedule. Let me explain...


Every sunday, we have to check our schedule online to see if it changed. I have the same schedule, but not the same room number and not the same teacher. Tuesday, I went to my class, and the teacher didn't have my name on their list. I went to another classroom, and they didn't have my name either. So, I went back to the first classroom and stayed there. When I came back from school, I went to see my schedule and SURPRISE! I was in the wrong class, AND they changed my schedule on monday! I only went to see it sunday! 
A good thing with my new schedule is that my new teacher is my grammar teacher. Yes!


Evening: we went to this place called Brigantine's. It was GOOD! I ate a taco with chicken buffalo. Miam miam miam! Horray for the american food! After, Luisa and I bought frozen yogurt for the family at a place called "In the Mix". You choose the frozen yugort flavor, then you can put candies, cereal, syrup, etc etc etc on you yogurt, and there you go! It was SOOOOOOO good!




Wednesday


Nothing to report. I bought my classic sandwich Steak & Cheese, footlong italian bread, swiss cheese, banana peppers, olives, lettuce, onions, Sudwest sauce at Subway (eat fresh). I bought a frozen yogurt for Danny because he wasn't there with us yesterday, and when I came home, I said: "I got something for you!". He got scared because he thought I brought a spider home (he's afraid of spider). Then, we said (Joey and I) that it wasn't a spider, it was frozen yogurt he said: "I don't like frozen yogurt". A little later, he wasn't home, so I ate it. When he came back, he said: "Mmmh, I feel like eating frozen yogurt!" Then, I told him that I ate it. He was so mad! Haha. 
I watched Charlie's Angels (didn't ou notice that Matt Leblanc plays in this movie?!) because I could remember a THING of this movie! In the evening, we watched Dumb and Dummer. :)


The Movie of the Week


Hot Rod, with Andy Samberg. Hilarious! (Mom, it's stupid, don't watch it)


Announcement


This weekend, I'm going to........................ SAN FRANCISCO!! 11 hours on the bus, alone. In my room, we'll be 2. I'm matched with someone alone. My new friend...!


I LOVE YOU!!!


Love,
xoxo

Guilty or not guilty?

Hiiiiii... (Ross' "Hi") 


I've been to the mall today... My mom told me to buy clothes for CEGEP, because my CRA uniform, my gymnastics leotards and summer's clothes were pretty much what I used to wear the past 5 years. 


So, yes, I went to the mall today. I'm not going to tell you how much I've spent... but you can call me Androu #2. I've bought:
1. Shirt from Abercrombie & Fitch (the cashier was HOT)
2. Grey belt from Forever 21 (the next items are from there)
3. Charlie Brown T-Shirt
4. Necklace
5. Black Jacket
6. Skinny Jeans (I just wanted to see if I could wear the jacket with jeans, I just took a random pair of jeans and it turned out that they looked great on me!)


So, sould I feel guilty or not? I hate spending my money... grr...


Tonight


LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT! with Justin Timberlake and musical guest Lady Gaga! :) It's a rerun but I wanted to see this episode when I was in NY with Regina. My friend Sara and I were so mad at the stupid hotel TB that didn't have NBC and then, the next morning, we were, again, REALLY mad, because it was the season final AND Justin and Gaga were there. This time, I'm watching it! Oh yes, I AM!


Love you!


Love,

It's beach season, beach season & Avada Kedavra

Hi people!


Beach Season 


 My class and I have been to the beach to do a Scavenger Hunt. It was so fun! I met Daniella (20 years old girl; in my class; from Mexico; who doesn't look like 20) and Ihisha (17 years old girl; also in my class; from Trukey; who speaks french). There is also a girl from Paris (17), but unfortunately, I can't remember her name. This girl is coming to Montreal from 4 years, and I'm probably going to show her our beautiful country. She's really excited about it.


This is MJ, my roommate


Luisa introduced me to some of her friends and I met someone really interesting: Joséphine from Paris. She's here for 3 other weeks. She loves photography, studies in cinema and... LOVE Montreal and people from Quebec. Especially our accent. She's really nice and she was glad that she can finally speak about cinema, photography, etc, with someone. Even though we both speak french, the conversation we had was entirely in english. I hope to see her again!


First Exam


I had my first exam yesterday. Today, we correct it: 72/80! :) 

Mary Potter

Harry Potter


This evening, wondering what should I do, I decided to go see (alone) the last Harry Potter movie. No surprise: I cried. And what was fun about HP in 3D is that they give you 3D glasses shaped like the glasses of HP. Haha. 


Downtown San Diego


Lydia and I went to pick up Luisa and her friends this evening at 11:30. We rode and talk about night-life, alcohol and partying etc etc etc. When we arrived downtown, we were looking for Luisa, but we were also looking at the drunk people. At one moment, Lydia saw a boy and a girl hugging and she said: "Get a room". 
Lydia is a lot of fun! We laughed at the "party people". 


See you soon!


Love,

Dodgeball

Hey chicos & chicas,

Yesterday, with Danny and Joey, I watch (again) 2 movies: The Mask and The Hot Chick. I've already seen both of them, but it was fun watching them again. 

Jealousy

Danny and Joey didn't believe me that Jim Carrey is canadian. It took them a long time to finally realize, after the 200000 web pages on Jim, that the Almighty Dumb is, in fact, canadian. I don't know if they were joking about not knowing. I think they were just jealous about the fact that a canadian can be that successful. In their faces! Haha.

T.T. (for "The Title")

This evening, my family, Luisa and I watched (again and again AND again) the movie Dodgeball with Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. If you wanna laugh, rent it. It's hilarious (Mom, don't watch it)! Good gags.

Snif

Lydia told me that if Vinnie was home, we could've watch the new Harry Potter before ANYONE ELSE tonight, before the premiere, because Vinnie works at the movie theater. Sh*t. F... WHY ME? Aaaah, that's not the end of the world. YES IT IS! No, it's not, OK?! YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! Who cares?! I CARE! Go see it tomorrow then! Oh, yes, great idea... never thought of that... 

NO CLASS TOMORROW

15 of July = NO CLASS! Why: my class is going to the beach! Oh yes! 

Now, tomorrow is very important, because:

1. I gotta make some friends.

2. I'm wearing my new bikini. Yes, my PINK ONE WHO FLASHES. Let see if Californian can handle my gymnast body. 

Write to you tomorrow to tell you all about sand and sea! 

Love,

xoxo
