Leaving Lille

Today is our last day with the Laveissieres in Lille! It's been so much fun and we've had lots of laughs, lots of good food and created an amazing friendship with Olympe. (After friendship with, my Kindle guessed Nutella. Yes I developed an amazing friendship with Nutella too:) ) It's weird to have a friend who doesn't speak your language fluently. It made things fun, sometimes confusing, funny and interesting. She could teach me so much and it was fun to learn from someone who speaks the language all the time.
Yesterday we played cards and games on the trampoline and made crepes for dinner. I had three whole crepes people!! Ruby and I split a yogurt to put on a crepe and Olympe couldn't believe it. She was like "you are very strange!" Haha. Then we go to Facebook that night and my mom has purple and hot pink hair. I was thinking, ya wait till you meet the rest of my family. ;)
Francois is definitely a character. One night I think he had a little too much wine and started singing and meowing at the dog. Or maybe that was just his funny personality. I've learned quite a bit of vocabulary but not enough to understand conversations or speak a lot by myself. I do have a better understanding of the common words and the accent though so I hope I keep learning and improving with Genevieve.
I've never ridden a train before so I'm rather excited!! :) This adventure has been magnificent so far! Now to Hogwarts Express!! ;)
I could. Not. Believe it!!

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...

At The Car Wash

Registering my car has been quite the ordeal. I have class until 5 every day and rehearsals Tuesday and Thursday, so finding a time has not been easy. One of my rehearsals was canceled today, so I drove to an auto-mechanic to update my registration. I knew I could get Safety and Emissions done, but thought they could also register my car. Nope! I have to go to the DMV. Then my car was failed, not because of the fact that the rear-view mirror is cracked (I bumped it in my apartment garage on a pillar-not my finest moment) but because there is a smaller circular mirror in the corner of it. It seemed like a tiny adjustment to me and couldn't believe they couldn't repair it right then at the mechanic! But it's fine-plus the owner gave me a free car-wash! Not just any car wash, "The BEST Carwash". It was $9. So I pull into the car-wash and jets start spraying all over and I can't see through the window from all the soapy water. And I'm like this is so cool! I ...
