I seem to have been really busy lately despite not really having much to do! I was in school a grand total of 7 hours this week, it's been tough! I shall try and remember interesting things to report on since I last wrote.
Last sunday was a great day, I went to the chocolate festival in Verviers! It was really cool, got to try loads of really nice things and felt quite sick afterwards! My friends from Liege and Brussels came over too, then we all had pizza at mine afterwards and sat on the rooftop for ages and saw a nice sunset :) It was crazy how many languages there were going on, between us we spoke english, french, german, italian and spanish and all of those were spoken at some point during the day, it was cool!
This week I tried to register at the uni in Liège, but the first time I went the office was closed, then the second time I forgot a letter I needed to take with me! So I shall be going back again this week. When I've signed up I'll be able to attend whatever I lectures I want to, should be cool! And don't have to do exams either which is even more cool!
Yesterday I went to Germany! I was taken out for the day by one of the teachers I'm working with and his family, had a really really nice day. In the morning we went to the hautes fagnes which is a fenland region of Belgium near the german border, and really nice countryside. We got there about 6am (I had to get up at 4am!!!) to listen to stags in the forest (!?!) but they decided not to make a noise so it was all a bit pointless! We went into Germany in the afternoon, had lunch in a really nice little town, then went to Aachen and did some shopping there. Looked round the cathedral too, it's a really beautiful building. It was really confusing me having to speak german though, I can just about cope with 2 languages at once, but having to peak french to the people I was with, and german to people in shops and stuff I really couldn't handle! A girl in a shop asked me if I wanted a bag and I just stared at her blankly cos I'd understood but couldn't think which language to reply in!
This week I'm doing things about bonfire night in my lessons, I really want to take sparklers or fireworks in but I don't think they'll let me somehow!
That's all for now,
