My life in France

I picture you in the sun - Wondering what went wrong - And falling down on your knees - Asking for sympathy

This song first came to me in an episode of Scrubs (great show by the way) and it is a beautiful song. For a while I forgot about it but tonight I just started humming and I had no idea where it came from. But it's back. And I'm happy. I think that everyone should try to get the lyrics, if not, google them and listen to the song, I love it.

It's is, though, a sort of sad song. It brings sad memories. Memories will always be memories, but some of them are more sad than others. I remember when I was in France, I would start to tune out what people were saying all around me and just let my mind wander... to anything. I remembered getting married to Colin and our daily morning spinning contest. I remembered playing lava floor and dancing around a pile of pennies to the song Waterloo by Abba. Well, back to the point. My mind would wander and I would start laughing, all of a sudden and (so it would seem to the others) for no reason. Well, finally Charles asked my "What are you thinking about?" I laughed and began to tell my childhood, bits and pieces at a time. At the beginning, I think Charles thought I was crazy, but he soon learned that I'm not your average girl, I have a crazy past, an insane present, and an ever-changing future.

Later, maybe the week before I left, I was talking to Charles and I said "You're lucky you know." He just laughed at me, then asked why. I simply explained that he was lucky that I always thought of happy things, happy memories. If every time I thought of happy things I laughed, does that mean that every time I think of sad things I'll cry? That, I explained, is why Charles is lucky. Of course, he just laughed again.

So today I went back to school, and it was pretty useless. Next Monday is our Earth Summit in the year 2050. Well, I had only just heard of it today so I had nothing prepared and instead of a regular day, we had a full-day work period on it. Joy. Well... we started with Ms. Webb where we explored our characters, but since my character was non-existent, I couldn't do anything. We then went with Mr. Hill where we had a work period, but since no computers were available, I did math instead. After we had lunch then we were with Mme. Bellemare. She was teaching us about our presentations but since I didn't have any, and I didn't want to improve anything to show off my 'quirks' I sat there doodling with Emily. Then we had Ms. Vamvalis where we presented our speeches, again I just sat there. And for the rest of the week, we are working on the play, which I'm not going to be in because it's on Friday and I haven't been there. Though I may be in the dance.

So that's it. After school I exercised for an hour and a half while watching Prison Break then had a nice long shower. I'm all clean now and I think I'll go sleep. I miss France, I do, but it's also good to be back. Also, after that long exercise thingy I have calves of steel! Woohoo! Hee hee.
