Health:
My health has been pretty decent, I did get another cold but it only lasted a few days.
In the first month of being here I gained 15 pounds and then I haven’t checked since ,
but I don care at all because French food is worth it :) .
Activities:
I did lots this month, it was my birthday so my host mom organized it so that me and
my friends would go bowling then to this dance/dinner thing. I went to Switzerland with
my family for a few days to visit with them and their friends, it was really cool. With
rotary we had a little event in Geneva , kinda like workshops and stuff (i don’t really
know how to explain it) but that was cool and I met lots of cool people. Next week I’m
going to this Christmas tree light up thing with my friends and I’m really exited.
School:
School is going better ,ive started to make some really good friends and teachers are
now staring to go a lot easier on me because they realized I had no idea what was
going on. With my school we are going to see a play in Lyon, which am looking forward
too.
Family:
I love my family so much, they are so funny and always have so much energy. Last
weekend we all went sledding and had the biggest snow ball fight it was so fun. And
they always have people over for dinner, which at first was hard for me because I was
always so tired and had no energy to socialize after a long day but now that I have
more energy I love it, we always have so much fun. ME and my family have lots of
inside jokes now too which is great.
Rotary functions:
I went to one rotary dinner (actually was in the end of October but I forgo to put it in
that report , sorry) It was fun, there is 4 other students in my club and they are all great,
so I always like spending time with them. Then the rotary thing in Geneva which was
really cool.
Other:
I have started to feel a little homesick (i especially miss Tim Hortons) But its not too bad
and I really am having a great time here, I have made so many friends from so many
different countries. Also french food is really good, my region (haute-savoie) we just eat
so many different forms of melted cheese, its awesome.
