Update about me!
So, I have been having a really good week here in Pau! I was really busy with classes and such. I also have been going out a lot with Missy and the French students. I have pretty much not hung out with any of the USAC people (except for Missy) because they are all on my nerves! On Friday there was a party (u might have seen the photos I put on the other post). It was kinda fun but also kinda boring. It wasnt as good as i expected, but nevertheless i still had a good time! Then on Saturday I slept until about 2 because I was so tired from the night before. I didnt return home until 4 Am, so i was tired! Once I got up and got dressed and everything Missy sent me a text that she was bored. Since i was bored as well we decided to meet downtown and go shopping. She bought a lot of things. I only bought a cover for my laptop and a CD (Sean Paul, because EVERYONE here is obsessed with him). Then we decided to see a movie. The only one that was playing at that time was a kids movie. I think, in English, it is called Open Season. It only had the French title and i cant remember what that was. Anyways, it was kinda cute! We also chose a kids movie because we knew we would be able to understand it better! After the movie we went back to Lons, where we both live, and decided to get some Nems. In case u havent realised this yet: Nems are probably the best food in the world. They are egg rolls, but better! We went back to the same place we had gone 2 nights before! The waitress remembered us! Then I walked home.
On Sunday, I got up about 11:30ish and my host mom asked me if i wanted to eat lunch with her. I said sure! She made me chicken and potatoes! And she bought me some coke (it is coke light, but thats alright!) because she thinks i like it so much! Shes so sweet! Then she asked me if i wanted to go with her to Gan (another city near Pau) to meet her parents and sister! I said sure! So, we went there. she said it was about 30 km away from where we live. Her dad answered the door! He is so cute! He's 80 and isnt in the best health! But, he's so nice! His name is Firmin. He is Spanish, so he has a really thick accent. I didnt understand him all that well, but i think hes so cute! Bego (my host mom) then said she was going to go to her sisters to look for her mom and asked me if i wanted to come or stay. I decided to go because I didnt want to stay by myself. She said we were going back anways. Before we left she wanted to show me the garden in the backyard, and lo and behold her mom was back there! Hahaha So, I met her mom! Her mom is so very talkative! I helped her carry in 2 huge pumpkins from the garden and she said i had to eat with them for dinner because she wanted to make me pumpkin soup! So, then Bego said we were going to her sisters house. Instead of going there we went to a sort-of rummage sale type thing. It was at a church/castle turned into a school. Its where Bego's nephews go to school! Her sister was there! i bought a smurf stuffed animal for 50 centimes! Then we went inside so i could see the school! It was cool. There were people inside who started talking to me and they were very nice! Then we deiced to leave and go to Bego's sisters house! Her nephew, Yan, is so cute! He is 5 years old! On the way over there my mom called, so i was talking to her for awhile. After i got off the phone Yan wanted to show me around the house! He was so excited! We ended up in a playroom where his 2 brothers (ages 9 and 12) were playing with some car type thing that lit up and spun around. It hurt Yan and he ran crying. He said the only thing that would cheer him up was to have a picture taken with me! Haha So, we took our picture together! I dont have it on my computer yet, but i will soon! After that we ate come chocolate cake and then decided to go back to Bego's parents house. It was 7pm. Her parents usually eat dinner at 7, so her dad was starving. Bego told him that we werent going to eat there though. He was sad. He said i have to come back to have a meal there. He also said he wants me to spend christmas with them. I told him i dont know what i am going to do for xmas, but that i would think about it! He was so sweet! I really wanna go back there! They had 2 cats and 2 dog! the dog was named boy! haha So, ya..Sunday was a really fun day!
When we got home, Bego made the pumpkin soup that her mom sent us home with! And then we both had work to do so i said goodnight! I did my homework and then went to bed!
This will probably be a boring week. I have nothing planned. This weekend i might try to go to either Bordeaux or Toulouse, whichever is cheapest, with Missy. We havent decided for sure yet though. This was supposed to be the weekend where we were going to go to Nice. Oh well! We could always go back to Paris because there is a concert there that her boyfriend can get us tickets to because he knows the band (its for Gnarles Barkley). I dunno though! I will keep you all posted!
