6 hours at school?

We got up at what seemed like very early in the morning even though it was 10 for my class. We got ready and headed out to school. Morgan didn't have class till 3:30 but she went with me for my 11:30 class so she could try and work on some homework and to use the schools good internet to try and make a plan for us at Disneyland Paris. Everyone who was outside my class before the teacher got there was talking about our culture class that no one knew what time it was. One girl said that there was a sign on the internation ladies door saying what time our groups went. She said mine was 3:30 to 5 when Morgan's french class was. So much for working out today. My french class wasn't quite what I was expected it to be. The lady pretty much only spoke in French. I was able to understand most of what she said and I did learn a little bit. We just covered the alphebet and basic introduction things.

I met Morgan after my class and told her about the culture classes being posted. We ate lunch and then went upstairs to check exactly when our classes were and where. Morgan's class was at 2 which meant she only had about 30 minutes till her class. We went back down to the student lounge and hung out till her class. (There were very few people in her class since it was on no ones schedule and everyone that should of been in her class didn't know they had to be at school untill 3:30.) Once she went up to her class I turned on my music and relaxed while checking the internet and talking to mom for a few minutes. There were a ton of people in the student lounge and I felt really awkward but I wasn't too worried about it...I just kept listening to my music.

When I got upstairs for my culture class there were a ton of people outside that I knew. I sat with the girl from Colorado that I really like and the American girls from our building sat in front of me. 2 of the Florida girls were in there too, one of them was in my French class and we sat together and she was just as lost as I was so I felt better. The teacher for our cultures classes is this crazy little man with crazy hair. I'll try to get a picture of him so I post it on here cause it's super funny. He was hilarious too though, he made calss interesting in something that could be very boring. The list of topics we are going to cover seems really interesting and one week we are going to cover topics that we submited today. He had us write down what we wanted to learn while we were in France. I'm looking forward to that week.

Once we were out of class it was 5 meaning we had been at school for 6 hours!! We stopped at the grocery store on the way home to get some food so we wouldn't starve. We had some chocolate ice cream when we got home and then worked a little more on our homework that is due tomorrow. We had to pick the category our Oganizational Behavior paper is going to fit into...it is supposed to be about how we have seen the topics we discuss in class represented in an organization we have been apart of...and then describe how our personality test results fit into how we acted in the situation. I think I am going to use cheerleading and show the differences in the way the squad members behaved and treated each other with very different aged coaches (Erica being close to our age while Ms. Wamble was an adult). I'm excited to research more about this topic and to write my paper. It has to be 10-12 pages max but I dont think that will be hard. I have several real life examples and the research will help to analyze it.

We ate bread and butter for dinner and we are going to have some white chocolate covered oreos. I just talked to Amy and Caden for a while on Skype. He smiles so big when I get back on the screen after it kicks us off. I'm going to get in the shower so I can get in bed since we have to be at like 7 for school tomorrow!
