What's goin' on my peeps!!! I have time to write again so I will just so you can follow me that much more closely :) I am watching Star Wars V with Jeanne and it is in French with English subtitles...I am enjoying it :) I am really getting overwhelmed with learning the language and even if I know it is all so quick that I cannot catch everything! I just need a structured learning tool to follow that will be very organized because then I will easily catch on!
I know that once classes begin I will be able to focus more on the content instead of the little things that I do not understand.
My Blackberry came today but we did not receive the pin to activate it yet and it should come on Monday in the mail. Germain just sent me the information of the other Au Pair that is working for his friend and I am going to call her tomorrow! Hopefully she is cool and we can get along...that would be amazing for me because I really need to meet someone who has been here longer than me and can help me with the language and to know everything I need to know.
On my Blackberry I will be able to check e-mail and use MSN messenger which I have but NEVER use haha but I am not sure about getting online yet because then I can update my blog and facebook more often which would be fun!! :)
I never thought I would be a blogger but I have done a lot of things in my life that I thought I would never do....It just goes to show you can't ever say never because you should always be open to try new things and really give yourself freedom to step out of your comfort zone. This is something I am struggling with right now as far as speaking the language and I know in my head that if I just open up more and put myself out there and really try at every moment to speak and be open to criticism then I will definitely learn faster and better....as of right now there is something holding me back and I do not know what and I cannot come to terms with humility like I said I would. I hope you guys can pray for me in that area because that is something that I am really struggling with and I know with all of your prayers it will definitely make everything better :)
Tomorrow I am not sure what we are going to do but I hope it is something fun...Like maybe magically learning French! haha no I know this is hard work and I am really up for the challenge but I am just having problems putting myself out there. Germain and I were talking about how classical music helps a lot when you are trying to learn something and if you listen to it from a young age "they" say that you will be smarter and really good in math. You bet that I will be listening to classical music as much as I can now! haha
On Monday morning I am going early with Jeanne to be dropped off because Germain has a meeting at 9 and must get there in time so I will walk Jeanne to her school and then I have no clue what I will do...Definitely NOT walk around Paris all day again haha
Germain was shocked at how far I walked and how much I did in the day. I was too....haha
He has been showing me areas on the map that I need to go to and one is similar to Hollywood or something because a lot of the writers and people live there...and when famous people from USA come to Paris they live there or stay there...OF COURSE! haha it is a really really rich area but I cannot think of the name of it at the moment.
I am adding some pictures on facebook as soon as I am done with this blog! I hope you enjoy them...I don't think I took enough pictures of the Eiffel Tower...let me know what you think. Also, I tried to get myself in some of the pictures and it did not turn out as well as I hoped but I think there is a lot more time for that....only if I make friends hahaha I feel like such a dorky loser that will have no friends...but I am used to having the MOST AMAZING FRIENDS EVER!!!! so I guess it would be a change....I love you all and I will talk to you soon!
Love
