some updates:

• Tonight at soccer like 3 girls had my same cleats, all brand new. I guess they're the ones to get now. Hey, at least I'm with the style in one thing in France. :)
• Guess who is the head of the class in PE? me! The teacher actually ranked the class in order of goodness in volleyball, #1 with the unreachable 20/20!! boo ya. 8th grade vball skills come in handy! The teacher made a limit that I was only allowed to serve 3 times in a row, because one game started off 15-0. (...)
  
• Spent a fun 3 days with my sister in Marseille. Pretty city and had fun staying in a hostel and meeting all sorts of people. Went to an island off of Marseille and hiked around and looked at ruins from the 1820's, of hospitals and buildings. The ferry to the other island, with the prison made famous by The Count of Monte Cristo, was closed due to the very windy conditions. We seriously thought the ferry boat was going to tip over on the way to the island. We spent 3.5 hours walking around, and talking. It was fun. Then saw a movie friday night. On the way there I visited Montpellier by myself, SO BEAUTIFUL!! Visit there if you get the chance!
  
• Spent a very un-Easter like Sunday and Monday. I ate every farm object possible in chocolate, and the chocolate was about the only Easter like activity that happened. Sunday and Monday consisted of lazing around and watching movies and tv with the host sibs.
  
• Found out I got a scholarship that I applied for at Beloit. Happy news :) Save the parents money.
  
• This week will be foot charged, game tomorrow afternoon and possibly one in Montpellier and Nimes this weekend. But I don't know.
• 7 months here!! :( Time is just gonna fly bye from now on.
  

There are probably things I forgot, and I'll add pictures later.

ciao
