It is currrently 7:14 am and I would much rather be in my bed alseep than going to school!
I know it's been a while since my last blog but I just don't think blogging about school is that interesting and that's a majority of my week, so sorry about the absence!
Let's get down to businessss
This week is normally the week before thanksgiving for me and in the US we are at this weird point between Halloween and Christmas decorations! However in Europe they obviously don't celebrate thanksgiving so as soon as November started so did the Christmas decorations and commercials! It is weird not having thanksgiving this year but at the same time it's cool because Renata didn't really know what the holiday was so I got to explain it to her!
Another thing, here they celebrate a day before Christmas for saint Nicolas and then Christmas is for papa Noel (aka Santa clause). Renata told me that saint Nicolas day is for candy and chocolates to give to the kids and more of a traditional holiday! There are also these gingerbread man shaped roles that are traditional in Alsace and you eat those on Saint Nicolas day! Then for Christmas you do all the presents and things! So that will be interesting to celebrate and see how it all works!!:)
This past weekend wasn't too too eventful it was a very rainy weekend, but that doesn't stop anything!!:) Saturday morning renata, wojtek and I cleaned the house as per usual, then we ate lunch and had a lazy relaxing afternoon! That night léa invited me to go to this resturant lounge with her and her friend to hang out and get dessert! Her and I had been there once before and ordered dessert and it was too good not to go back! We both ordered the same thing we ordered the first time! For me, crème brûlée with a tiny scoop of ice cream and for léa a choclate soufflé with caramel ice cream and a tiny pistachio milk shake drink! SOOO GOOD!!<3<3 Then sunday Renata had her concert performance for her polish folk singing! It was a really good show! They all had traditional costumes and instruments! I'll post a pic at the end!! Then we went to this dinner type thing with everyone from the concert and there was a bunch of traditional polish food! It was yummy! :)
SIDE BAR: isador just walked in the house sniffed my food and then licked it!! LOL!:) he's so weird!
Okay back to what I was saying! So every Monday from 4:30-6 I have UNSS which is the little sports thing that I do! Normally I shoot hoops and just work with a basketball, but yesterday I went to this gymnastics/ weight lifting time! It was really fun! I did gymnastics with one of my girl friends from class and then when she had to leave I did some weight lifting!
It's was a very nice last couple of days! It has now been a whole day because I started this blog this morning at 7:15 and I am finishing it now at 7:27! I am now watching money drop and drinking Noel tea with my fam!! :)
ONE MORE THING before I go, the whole reason I wanted to blog this morning was to say this, "layering is how I survive in the cold!" I used to never believe in the concept of layering, but now I will wear items of clothing that don't match my outfit AT ALL just for the sake of being warm! LOL!
Okay I am finished!!:)
