Yesterday was beautiful and sunny, with highs in the 70s (which is amazing after a summer in Statesboro), but today was cold, windy, and rainy. I left the house wearing running shorts and had to stop by Old Navy on my way to school to buy some $7 pants! It was pretty funny to go into an Old Navy where everything was in French and there were maple leaves on all the t-shirts instead of American flags.
I definitely have the "foreign language headache" now. Between all the walking around and having to concentrate so much on speaking, I'm completely exhausted at the end of the day! It's slowly beginning to feel a little bit more natural, even though I still make mistakes constantly. I tried the Canadian dish called poutine today. It's French fries, gravy, and cheese curds. It sounds very strange but it really was delicious! I was telling Madame Dufour about it at dinner and she started laughing at me... it turns out I pronounced it wrong and actually told her that I enjoyed my first prostitute. Zut.
I've really enjoyed living with Justin, Mme Dufour's youngest son. He's so cute and has taught me all kinds of new vocab words having to do with Toy Story, Shrek, and Mario Kart. We've been playing Mario Kart on the Wii together and he keeps saying, "Fais attention, j'ai trop de bananes!" (Be careful, I have too many bananas) I seriously could listen to him speak French all day.
Voilà pour l'instant!
