Happy Thanksgiving

Salut tout de monde,

Happy Thanksgiving!! Je sais thanksgiving était il ya 2 jour, mais je n'ai pas eu le temps pour bloguer jusqu'à ce maintenant! Donc,  je n'ai rien fait pour thanksgiving parce que ce était jeudi et jeudi est mon jour de retard. Donc, je ne suis pas à la maison jusqu'à 18h. Mais il se sentait comme thanksgiving parce Renata fait un grand repas pour le dîne ce soir. Je étais tellement plein après.

D'accord, je suis écrire ce maintenant et il est 00h15. Donc je vais commencer à écrire en anglais. MDRR! (for those of you that don't know MDR is the equivalent to LOL!:))

Okay, so now it is officially christmas time! The lights all down the main street of wittelsheim have been lit up and it is so cute! They are on each side of the street all the way through town! Renata also hung the garland with lights on the railing going up to the house and it is soo pretty!:) Today during lunch she also gave Lea and I these super cute calendars that as soon as december starts we can open a door each day and it will have a different Kinder chocolate inside! :) safe to say I am excited about this! LOL! I REALLY love christmas so I am excited for this month!

On another note it is also going to be the start of my 4th month in France in a couple of days! I literally cannot believe how fast time goes here! Today my mom needed to ask me about booking my flight home and I was like freaking out inside because I feel like I am really just getting into this! Everyone says that around christmas time you really start to understand and are able to speak more and I really feel like that is true right now! I have noticed recently how much I really do understand and when I speak it doesn't feel so foreign and unnatural! Even though I still have the worst accent ever! LOL!

EXAMPLE: this morning I had just woken up and Renata asked me to go put somethings somewhere downstairs and I understood everything she said without even having to think about it! It was funny because she asked me after she said it, if I understood and I said yes and she smiled and was very happy that I did! I was proud of myself considering I had just woke up and wasn't quite functioning at 100% yet!:)

Another good note, I finally got to see Mockingjay ( I think thats one word, tbh, I am not sure and I dont want to google it right now). It was in french, obviously, but since I had read the books and seen the other movies I knew what should be going on, So that helped me understand more and like i said earlier I really am understanding more. It was a good experience over all! I wasnt lost the whole time! I was really happy because I understood a lot of those lines in the movie that are meant to be a  joke and lighten the mood! They all used pretty simple vocabulary, so I laughed and wasn't just doing it because everyone else was! LOL!:)

That last sentence is the definition of "exchange student'!

Also I have 2 more weeks of school before my second holiday, I am counting the days! hahah!:)

Nothing to crazy or interesting is going on right now, but I am enjoying every minute that I spend here and It definitely feels like home now which is good for me and I think it is good for my exchange as well!

I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving (if you are in America) and if your not I hope you had a good week and are getting geared up for christmas!:)

Sorry there is no pictures on this post, I have some of course, but that will take more work than I have energy for right now!
Until next time!

peace
