PRAHA JUIN

So just got back from Prague.How I loved that dang city.History and shopping = SCORE.I was there with kids from all over the world , Austrailia , New Zealand , South Africa , etc. all of whom were exchange students in Belgium.All of whom have touched my life.

Jenna who taught me a little about being a little more relaxed and partyish and even straightened my hair the best its ever been straighted.I love that girl she could make me laugh for ever.
Then ofcourse Karen who I had never really know before from Brazil who knew and loved Rascal Flatts and I almost like cried when she played god bless the broken road for me on her IPod.I didnt think I'd miss country music at all ! Karen was hillarious  and I am going to miss her.
Also I got to talk to Jaime from Paraguay . He and I had a lot in common exchange wise. Like his Rotary conseleur is freaking cool and named Freddy just like mine was and a lot of other concequences had happed throughout our year.It was so good to have someone to relate so closely with!
Alison was there and it is always good to see her or anyof the other girls who were at my outbound camp!I shared a room with her the last night and we ended chatting up about religion.

It was just really good to see everyone and chat with people who really have been in similar expierences.I think it was about 40 kidsish.

The trip was too short. 3 days of Prague 2 days in the bus.However annying that bus trip was it was all worth it.Have you ever been to Prague?No? You should.The buildings are all breathtaking. And also, the shopping wasnt half bad either.The food was always good and even if you end up not liking chzeck food there is KFC.There arent KFC's in Belgium.Can you imagine?

Pictures soon!

The day I got home was thomas' 12th B-day I cannot belive how old he is! I dont know who gave him premission to grow so fast!

Kendie Kiwi, Jenna Aussi,Yours Truly
Last weekend was "le fete de doudou" ,I went in the afternoon after all the fun had ended to Mons to meet up with friends who had been there during the craziness.Including my "newie" Jenna from Australia whom I have never told yall about, but is a super cool cat and I am apparently resposible for her in some way since I am her oldie (even thought shes two years older than me..but eh.)and also Kendie who is equally awesome and wears cute dresses,and Sergio a columbian who isnt in the picture but is a super great guy.
Tuesday My good friend Halima and I spent the best day ever together. and I mean best day ever.It was beautiful out the sun was shining we saw a good movie did some good shopping (new dress from H&M - 20 euros and sandles which yall will see pictures of while I am in Praha and some belgian knic-knacks from here and there ) and just hung out. Je te KIFFE Halima! Halima wrote me a note saying that "Charleroi seemed sunnier with me" ,but I think the sunshine comes with her not me!
Today was my Last Exam . I capitalize the 'L' and the 'E' because it was almost as important as the "Last Supper".Or atleast in my mind.It was History and I gotta say for someone who DID NOT study at all I did well.Actually even compared to those who did study I did well.I didnt study because Ive been busy Belgiuming it up the past mont
.
My teachers all know I have tried this yeah and more importantly I know I tried because I wanted to try to A)learn french B) Try not to be totally behind next year in class and C) If i didnt study I think my brain mightve been turned off you know...use it or lose it.After exams I went to the park with some of my girls. Next month I'll be posting a video of Steph telling an awesome dreamstory.We talked took pictures and ate frites.Perfect Belgian Day!
NEXT BLOG :
I am going to Prague tommorow after a barbeque organized by my history teacher for my history class.I'll be in Prague for five days.
