So today I totally freaked my younger sister Betti out by picking up a praying mantis. It was funnnnnnnaaaaayyyyyyy.
I love being an older sister. :D
Anyway, Friday night was interesting. It was funn, though. So I went to this cake place (yummy) with some girls from my 11e class after school. Then I met up with Julie from 10e, and we followed this guy she liked. Don't worry, it wasn't that stalker-ish. Then we went back to her flat, dropped our stuff off, and took the dog (the HUGE dog, Arthur) for a walk. We got yelled at for letting him somewhere he wasn't supposed to be and the people threatened to call the police on us, so we decided to leave. Who knows, Hungarians are a little crazy, so we decided not to take any chances.
By the time we got back, we had to get ready for the party at Munkácsy (my school) that night really quickly so we could get in free. So we did, but the people who were supposed to let us in free had finished early and left. Losers. But we met up with Julie's friend Andi (I don't know her because she takes German, not French, but she's really nice). We waited outside for a little, and then went to the cake place again. Hehe. Then we went to a Hungarian folk-dancing place to wait for Err (pronounced "air;" he's the guy Julie's obsessed with, and it's a nickname) to come out, but he never did (he was supposed to have a lesson until 7:30, so Julie was going to meet him outside when he came out and try to convince him to come to the party). So we went back to the school, and as we were almost there we saw him across the street walking away from the school. It was unbelievable, because he had said he wasn't going to come to the party and yeah, it was funnay because we'd been looking for him and it turned out he had never gone to the lesson in the first place. So he said he'd be coming back, so we went in.
We sat around for a while, and then walked outside. We met a friend of Andi's (also in 10e, named Erzsi) who was waiting for some other friends, so we waited with her. Another girl named Noci (pronounced Nahtsi) came up, and I knew her because she'd helped me in French. She's really nice. Then a bunch of guys walked passed us, and one of them knew Erzsi so he started talking to her, and then the rest of them stopped as well. Apparently they were former classmates. Anyway, they were kinda cute but almost all of them smoked, so fuj (phooey :P). They were nice, though, but kinda silly. I thought maybe they spoke some Spanish and that I'd be able to communicate with them that way because one of them had said "Muchas gracias, Senor" but no, that was all they knew. One guy asked me my name and seemed interested that I was an exchange student, so that was cool. Julie thought he "liked me a little too much" (her words, haha), but that's another storty (basically they just danced beside us and then always happened to be outside when we were). But yeah, the other people came, so we went back inside and danced. The Err was spotted dancing with another girl, possibly the one he liked from 9f. So yeah, that upset Julie.
So to make a long story short, we ended up going home a little early because of Err. Yeah, drama, drama. But it was funn. I liked it. I saw a couple people from my class, too. I went and slept over at Julie's flat that night.
Saturday, I came home and did nothing. Sunday (yesterday) I went and saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in Hungarian. I thought maybe they wouldn't have translated the songs, but they did, so that sucked. I understood very little.
I've decided I'm going to be fluent in Hungarian by November because that's when the new Harry Potter movie comes out. Haha, I have a long way to go.
Also, today I had a History test. If I'm really lucky, I got a 4 (equivalent to a B), because I couldn't for the life of me remember what happened in 843 (it was the Treaty of Verdun, which split up the Frankish Empire), and it was worth 8 (out of 40) points. So if I got EVERYTHING else right, I got 32/40. which is exactly 80%. I'm really mad about that, because I knew it, I just couldn't remember it. It was hard because the test was on Feudalism, the Frankish Empire, the Slavic nations, and Islam, so it was hard to place what happened when and to who. The question literally read "What happened in 843 and what were the consequences of it?" so you really had to have your stuff memeorized.
Well, yup, that's all for now. Toodles.
