10 Days in 39 minutes

Since it feels like I've taken a decade long vacation from blogging, I figured it was probably about time to get the ball rolling again. I've given up on trying to fill you in on all the plentiful details of my life from the past 2 - 3 weeks, so I'm going to condense this as much as I can. Right now it's 8:21 and I want to go to bed as early as possible. I might be turning into a grandma, but getting up at 6:25 every morning to catch the bus at 7:10 has been killing me. (Luckily I've only got 17 more days of that. ) All in all, I'm going to try my best to finish this post by 9 p.m. and get myself some z's.

To catch you all up super quick on what you missed before I went to Spain, here's basically what happened:

Saturday, April 14th: Mom and Gigi leave for America. I am squished in between 2 other Rotarians headed to Chamonix (~4 hours) in a mini car at approximately 6 a.m. The weather is terrible and we do not see Mount Blanc or any other mountains for that fact. Instead of mountain watching, I enjoy a relaxed day in Chamonix eating macaroons with Pruthvi.

Sunday, April 15th: Moving Day! New home in Chomérac for the rest of my stay in France. Nice family. Two big dogs. One fluffy cat. One amazing jet bathtub with underwater lights.

Tuesday, April 17th: First painting class. Acrylic painting to be more exact. Almost as relaxing as the bathtub.

Wednesday, April 18th: Day excursion to my new host sister's house in the Vercors. Visits to Pont en Royans, a cave, and Crest Dungeon.

Saturday, April 21st: Big day for me. Got invited to go to Valence by some girls in my class and it was the first time I actually hung out with people other than my host families or other exchange students. Also a big day because I saw Titanic in 3D. And I have been a super-fan of Titanic since the age of 5.

Monday, April 23rd: Vacation over. Return to school :(

Tuesday, April 24th: Leave for Spain. More vacation :)

Now that I just burned through 10 days, I have 11 more minutes to write about my vacation in Spain. Oh wait - now it's 10 minutes.

You know what, by the time I actually upload a picture it'll be 9 p.m. so I think I'm gonna cut it short tonight. (And before you start judging, the reason for me taking 10 minutes to upload a picture is that Blogger just had to change it's perfectly fine website so now everything's annoying and different. )

Anyway, I'll try to write again soon about Spain and everything else in my life, but I'm not guaranteeing anything for the moment because this weekend will be pretty busy. Tomorrow after school, I'm going over to a teacher's house for dinner, and this weekend I'm going to be staying at my host sister's house. Sunday is the final presidential election and since my host mom works at the town hall, I'm going into work with her. We'll see how it all works out, and I'll keep you updated. Ciao!

Oh yeah...8:58
