So I've decided to really just update my blog once a month now(ish) since my life here has kind of fallen into a pattern and not everything is new here so therefore there isn't much to write about. The exception would of course be if something exciting or out of the blue happened, then I might write about it. So since February is the shortest month of the year, there will obviously be much less to write about this time around.
I guess the month started like any other month meaning that I had to drag my butt out of bed at 6 in the morning and go to school. That is really one of two things that I absolutely hate about France.. I know its not France's fault in particular that I have to wake up at 6am (as I used to do the same back home a few years back) but the point is if I were back home, I could wake up at like 8, which is much more preferable to 6. The other thing I hate about France is that if Sundays weren't boring enough, France set out on a mission to make them even more boring than they already were. When I say this, I mean that absolutely everything (besides the bakery) is closed. And sorry, but the bakery isn't the same thing as the mall. Like apparently its French Law to have 99.9% of everything closed on Sundays... needless to say that law sucks. I miss things being open 24/7!
School this month was pretty good all in all, even considering the fact that I had the 3x 500 meter in gym class, (1,500 meters or 1.5km is almost a mile just by the way). The reasons that school this month was pretty good was because it happened to snow a lot this month so that meant I got one snow day, and at least two days off of gym because of the snow. (I also took a few days off of gym for myself because one time I was genuinely sick and the other time I forgot my clothes and said screw it) oh, and also because I only had like 3 full weeks of school this month because I now am on vacations. Thankfully I only have gym class here once a week, but even then its too much only because we had running. Running sucks, I don't know why anyone enjoys it... even though I only ran three times in gym this year I really dislike it. Like the first time I felt like I was going to die, the second time I almost threw up and the third time I'm pretty sure I was starting to have a heart attack the last 250m of the thingy. But I am proud to say that I ran an almost mile in 7:05 minutes, which happens to be really surprising. I guess its because I have 22 lbs less of blubber weighing me down.
I, for some reason have the feeling that I had already made a post about going to work at the bakery, but it isn't on the blog so maybe I'm thinking about something I wrote in my journal. Anyway, I went to the bakery! I woke up around 6am on a Saturday morning and then went with my host mom to the bakery and before I know it I was with all the other pastry chefs doing things, like bringing down racks of things to be sold and praying that I wouldn't drop them.. luckily the first few things I had brought down to the shop part of the bakery I didn't drop but of course life has to be a beach and I dropped some kind of cake thing but luckily only one person saw. For the rest of the day I rolled an endless amount of croissants and pain au chocolats.
So that's about it for February... I'll post soon!
