Les Rendres Visite de la Famille

Bonjour tout le monde!

Hope the Januaries of everyone are going just swell, here in France there are many people going in and out of the house. My uncle Sheridan came from Cyprus last weekend and I really enjoyed that because I hadn't really got to talk to him before, so to really see a Whipp for the first time in a while did some good. He just game for the weekend, but we managed to show him a fair amount of stuff, and know I'm looking to forward to going to visit him in Cyprus when possible! We also have Caroline, a Brazilian who's staying for a few weeks because she was visiting Europe with her boyfriend, and she went on the US trip with Quentin my host brother when he went on his exchange 6 years ago! She's been great and we've also done some visiting of things with her. Yesterday I hit the half way point of 5 months in my exchange! The year seems to be slowly gaining speed, I'm not sure how January went by that fast and I haven't even started to go on the Rotary trips I have :)

 Next week I'm going to Venice with my school and I'm supa excited! Carnival will be also going on there. Lately I've been doing quite a bit of paper work for that. I went ice skating again, and saw Django which was straight incredible!

I went to the Monte Carlo Rally near my school in Sisteron, which is basically an extreme car race where the cars go on all these twisty roads, and this race was international so that cool there were all these license plates from Spain and Italy.

I also learned to sew for the first time because I had some patches to put on my blazer. I'd say it was a hair above disaster, but now everyone can see it has a "Clay" touch.

As far as trips go I also signed up for one in Tuscan Italy where I go there for a week in a host family and then I get an Italian student for a week. I'm super stoked for that as well and emailed the Italian student today!

Will now try to wright weekly! P.S. Took the practice Bac (Bac Blanc) (super scary test at end of highschool) and if you don't pass the Bac you have to stay back a year, so there are some kids who are 19 or 20 in highschool.

À bientôt!
