I'm still alive.
I haven't updated in 9 days?? Christ. I guess I just don't have anything to say.. or the spare time to say it in.. Lately I've been working, eating supper, studying, and watching Big Brother with Russ. I never just sit at the comptuer and chat with people or update anymore. Maybe after my psychology test on Friday, maybe I'll get a chance to chill. I get Saturday off this week. That's cool.
I seriously have nothing to say. I'm starting to think that me having a journal is a dumb idea... Everything I want people to know I tell them in person usually before they get a chance to read it here.. and that leaves stuff I don't want to talk about..
Today I got more info on the Frecker Programme. There are 6 computers available for us to use, and we get so many minutes of our required lab time that they will allow us to use for e-mails. But they request that we only spend 30 minutes a day communicating to home in English. See, we have to sign a contract saying that we will speak French at all times and yadda yadda.. and we can only use cell phones to talk to home in English when we are by ourselves in our rooms. No other students can be around when you speak English to home. So if anyone wants to talk to me on the phone for a long period of time, be prepared to hear a lot of French. You can speak English to me, but you'll have to understand what I'm saying. I'll probably do a lot of talking to Mathieu and get him to let everyone know how I'm doing. Or I could update this in French, and get him to translate it in a comment. That would be cool. I can't believe I'm going to spend three months away from home.. like in a whole different country with completely different culture and people. It hasn't sunken in yet really.. It seems like something I'd be much more upset over. I'd say the day or so before I leave I'll be freaking out.. But I think the experience will be good for me. I don't want to say much about it all now.. I don't want to make the reality set in earlier than it has to.
Wow. I found something to say. But that's it for now. I'm out.
