Plus de Vacances et L'Ecole

So I had my 2nd week of vacation, and is was nice, but there were always visitors in the house, so now it's nice to have a relaxing life, as the trees on the hills of Provence turn colors, red, yellow. My host brother Quentin has left for South Africa for work for a month and half, so that's a bit sad, but I can't wait to hear his experience. Things are finally getting very normal, and this place isn't so much exotic anymore, though it's still so beautiful with autumn. I really like how so many of the cities are placed in Provence, on hills with gorgeous views. I saw a prehistoric museum, the red/yellow rocks they use for pigments again near Apt (just an hour away) an got to hang out with some exchange students in Aix, I really like Aix because of how beautiful it is, and it's not too big, you can walk all around it easily.

School started up, but more than half my teachers aren't there right now, so this week is more or less a chill week (today all I had was 2 hours of English.) I've been listening to a lot of new music, but not so much French music, there's not too much and a lot of rap. As far as clothing, sometimes it can be difficult because there is so much with random British or American places and dates, it's pretty funny, but there's a store called H&M. Who ever made that place, knew what they were doing. I got a haircut, and they did it super short, but I kind of like it. I've got signed up for my trips here later in the year, one is Europe the other is France and Spain.

I want to start learning how to cook a bit, want to learn the ukelele, and sign up for tennis ping-pong. Also reading Harry Potter in French and a lot of the names are hilarious :) Hope everyone is just splendid, it's also very cold here, more cold than I thought. À plus!
