Today we slept in accidentally until 12:00!! I've never done that in my life! I think with the time change and the jet lag we were just so tired! We usually wake up at eight or nine so that's what we told them. The dad laughed at us when he came home from work for lunch. They understood and we very nice but tomorrow we will not do that again! The French have fancy meals at about eight, noon and about eight or nine at night. They have a snack at about three I think. Today we had chicken curry and bread and yogurt and rice and green beans. It seems like wine, bread and yogurt are always served at lunch and dinner. (But don't worry we won't try wine!) Today the dad said that the we have the saying "this is the last straw" and he thought it meant the last beans because they say in French "the end of the beans" or something like that. We told him it was like hay that horses eat not beans. Haha:) Olympe also asked yesterday if we would like to hit something. We laughed. I pretended to hit Ruby and said quoi? She laughed and said I mean eat something! Now we are going into to Lille to shop and we will take the tramway home. There is a big sale going on that started yesterday so we are lucky to be here now! Au revoir!!
Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...
Glad u caught up on sleep. The food sounds amazing! Hope you didnt find too many deals!:) love ya!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you caught up on your sleep. I'm not coping well with you gone. I had so much fun in NYC! I'm so glad you get to have this experience. Post some pictures if you can. I bought you a snow globe for you to remember our NYC trip. I will put it in your room and keep in out of Tziporah's little hands. Have fun. Love you.
