BONJOUR

SO... It looks like I've made it near the end the year. Bravo!
The last week was pretty eventful, with a Facebook scandal forcing 2 people to get kicked out of Ozenne, if you want details, ask me in e-mail or something. These 2 weeks of summer have been blisfsul and hot. I'm sunburt and have been swimming and wakboarding twice. I accomplished my goal and made it to the 3rd turn of the lake! Hopefully I'll go again before I leave (July 8th). Things are going pretty well, last Rotary meeting tonight. My host sister and I get along really well, her boyfriend is staying now for a month. Sometimes it's annoying to be the third wheel, but my host mom is getting back from Greece soon. It's frustrating trying to fit in everything you want to do with your friends when you all leave at different times.

Fête de la musique is the most amazing holiday in the whole wide world. A whole night dedicated to music for free and having fun. It might've been the most fun night the whole year. It was also hot and summery.

This post is really pitiful, but I'm in at an internet café and in a hurry.
Talk to you on the other side of Illinois!!!!!!

BISOUS POUR TOUT LE MONDE
je ne veux pas partir de la France! C'était plus que je pouvais jamais imaginer. J'ai fait des super amis et participer dans des actions and des activités qui m'ont changés.

PEACE

2 weeks later

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,
Liz
