IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAYYYYYYYYY

That is precisely why it's a beautiful day!!!

Well, aside from making you jealous it is not the only reason why it's (or was I guess) a beautiful day!!!

This morning I only had one, two hour geo class which was not excruciatingly painful and relatively easy to take, although I did develop a severe headache and fall asleep (whoooops) in class. Then I went out for crèpes (hence the photo) à la nutell and chantilly with Kayla and Ceilidh and then we went shopping and I either found gifts or found gift IDEAS, very important. I bought a lunch bag (how old am I?) but you have to understand that it is really cool over the shoulder lunch bag and it is very very funny and cute!!! Then I bought a bday pressie for mi amiga katie wilkes and some stuff for me and etc. etc. After I went out for a scrumdidilyumptious Panini at a quaint little bistro place with Kayla (Ceilidh ditched) and then headed back for a one hour singing class which made me laugh because the rendition of "Summer Lovin'" had me rolling in the aisles. I am also cheery because I came home and Mumma's second gorgeous package was there and I got the house to myself for two hours and I was all cheery from school and my walk home in the sun AND I had soccer and it was awesome AND I ate tomates farcée and it was oh so good AND tomorrow the Canadians are coming over for a glorified playdate and then on Sunday I might be going to the market with Ceilidh and then Wednesday I am taking the train in with the Canadians to go shopping (for clothes, gifts, everything) in Avignon and I have come to the realization that however impossible it seems I only have 20 school days left in France!!! Before AND after the break!!!!

Good golly miss molly it is just a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!! And then next weekend of course is even better!!! I get to visit Gordes and another cute village, play my first soccer game and celebrate easter, meaning I get a three day (basically four) weekend!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!

Now I must go to sleep with a People magazine and let myself melt into trashy bliss and zone out before a good sleep, knock on wood. Then tomorrow....ah god, it is passing so quickly, and in two weeks exactly I shall be leaving for Morocco and then when I come home it is May, who would have thought it would be this way?

I have so much to tell you, so many realizations, so many hard truths and good truths that I have realized that I cannot possibly explain in writing and so I promise you that the minute I see you I will tell you every horrible, good, crazy, psycho, wonderful thoughts I have had and I will explain to you precisely why I hate this exchange and exactly why I absolutely adore it, for its freedoms, its constrictions, its limits that I loathe and yet love, etc. etc.

So much to say and not enough memory. I have plans and goals and dreams and life aspirations that have come from this trip and although it is only half over I must say that it is everything I hoped it would be, everything I hoped it wouldn't be and MORE!!!

Je t'aime et la prochaine!!!!!

Hey Jane, are we still playing the lyrics game? Because I'm gonna say "Beautiful Day" by U2, on the off chance there's a prize. If not, no worries, it's still a treat to read your blog and know what's going on in your world (and your head)!

Love always,
StrongDad

That crepe looks yummy! I'm glad that you are happy, that you like my package, and that you are doing so well in school. I continue to love the blog, and love the comments that follow.
Enjoy the weekend, good luck with the soccer game, and keep writing (cuz you mom loves it all).

Man, reading your blog makes me so hungry. Mmmm crêpes =)
I'm glad you had such a nice day. Exchanges can be hard and it sounds like you and Aurore aren't having the easiest time of it (although if you're settling into some kind of rhythm, that's good - nobody said you had to be friends forever!), so you have to find the good times and it looks like you are doing just that!
In Canada things are busy as per usual, with homework, auditions, the musical coming up (eek!) and accompanying Holly's little kid classes. I am the new Deirdre for the concert, except less good and I'm not going to play with everybody, because I don't know that many songs yet =S
Keep blogging! I kind of suck at commenting, but I *do* read your blog, hungry-making as it is today.
Oh - Derek says for me to say "Hi Jane, how is France?"
Miss you love you,
Kate

Hi Jane,
You have the uncanny ability to pull yourself away from negativity in your life and focus on the positive! What a gift! I have your future all mapped out for you Jane; you shall be a wise and witty counsellor to clients mired in negativity and you will help them see the good and worthwhile parts of their lives. What do you think?
Pappy has just come in from power-washing the deck. He then tried to power-wash the patio, BUT..... all the mud caked between the patio stones loosened from the high pressure and all flew into his face and upper body. He looks like he wrestled a stubborn pig to the ground in a mud hole. Now I have to power-wash HIM!!

Just a little while ago we two went to the driving range and hit a bucket of balls. Life is pretty exciting for us 2 old people, I tell you!

Keep on blogging Jane. I LOVE it!

Love, Granny
