Coucou
2 weeks later and things have calmed down a bit. 2 weeks of school (this is the last week) have been uneventful, reading poems by Apollinaire and laering about France's role in WWII, la Résistance! Last Saturday we had a party at our house, my host sister invited like 7 friends over and we hung out and it was pretty fun, they are all really nice. Last Wednesday to Friday I visited my friend Robyn the Canadian in Saverdun, a little town about 40 min South of Toulouse. She lives in a really nice house, and we spent the whole time lounging around and watching movies, it was brilliant. Also learned a tektonik dance from her 12 year old host sister. She's going back to Canada on Thursday. This past Saturday my host sister got a scooter (moped), you don't really need any training to get one, you just buy it. Her summer job is a bartender at the casino, and my host mom wasn't too keen on going to pick her up at 4am freaquently, so voilà. In the evening I went to my first Stade Toulousain game, they are #1 in France, and a little more successfull than the TFC, they beat Bourgoin, 57-15. Sunday was nice and relaxing, hanging out and cleaning my room, watching Nadal win his 4th Roland Garros. This is the best time of the year to be in Europe for a soccer lover....EURO 2008!!! It started on the 7th and goes to the 29th. I'm rooting for France, Portugal and Sweden. Portugal are favorites to win and have Ronaldo, and I'm for Sweden because Elmander plays on it.
Things are going well, not sure what I'm going to do for 3 weeks of vacation. Today at school I had a lot of my classmates sign my Frenh flag, kind of like a yearbook.
There's a strike tomorrow....and ready to finish my last week of high school in any country!!!

Bisous,
