TGIF?

Marine was amazed when people in our Maths class were in listening to their iPods while working. I'm amazed that they have a two hour maths test. Last thing on a friday afternoon. Then again, they have to come in to school on a saturday morning as well, so it doesn't really mean much.

Today is Marine's little brother's seventh birthday (Jean-Edward, but I'm not sure how you spell it). He's the french Liam, I swear. His grandparents were over last night for birthday cake, but instead of cake, he wanted hamburgers. So we had birthday burger instead. He got some pokemon cards, and was running around the house going "Darkrai!", "Darkrai!", "Darkrai!". Then when I came down for breakfast this morning, he was sitting there, waiting for me to say 'happy birthday'. Except in french, obviously.

The teachers here are all pretty nice. We had economics this morning, and the teacher came up to me and started talking to me in english, and she was all like "Do you understand this?", and I'm like "Only a little, I don't study economics", and so she's all like "That's okay. It's boring.". Then later, she was like "what french meats do you like?", and I'm just like "......". Then she started talking about foie gras (which I have eaten, though strangely no criossants yet), and was asking if it has another name in english, and everyone in the class just started trying to say foie gras with an english accent and laughing.

In geography, the teacher brought in this projector and had up a map of the world. Though I didn't realise what is was at first, because it wasn't a normal map, everything was drawn as basic shapes. As in, North America was a triangle. And we were a square. How is this educational?

French TV is hilarious. I was channel surfing last night, and happened to see Starsky and Hutch (as in OLD Starsky and Hutch), The Simpsons (where Marge sounds like she swallowed a cat and then a cheese grater) the Pink Panther, and best of all, Knight Rider, knozn here as K 2000. If there is one thing that can make 70's style Hoff even better, it's being dubbed over in French. They also have this weird panel show on what I think is MTV, and the other day they had Samuel L. Jackson in a funny hat and glasses. He was talking about Shaft (Now that's gonna be a great movie) with Scarlett Johansen and lady-whose-name-I-can't-remember. Then they went to this segment basically called "box of questions". Hugh Jackman was in the box, but I don't know what the question was because they talk very fast and I was laughinf very hard. They were also covering what I think was the 'Twilight' premiere. They were showing all these screaming girls pressed up against the barricades around the red carpet, and then this one screaming guy. It's crazy.

Well, I think that's about it for now. It's been kinda half-snowing on and off all day, it's so cold. Someone send me some hot chocolate and some tim tams.
