2nd Week of School

So today was a pretty funny day. In English class we all have to get in groups and sing a song. Everyone is singing songs in English, but Claire, Andrea and I have to sing one in Spanish and English. We listened to the songs everyone picked which included Demons by Imagine Dragons, Imagine by John Lennon, Let it Be by the Beatles, and The Story of My Life by One Direction. Manny, the teacher, was giving everyone tips on how to pronounce sounds that aren't in the Spanish language. One is the "w" sound. His example was wood. We discovered that some people would actually make a "g" sound so it would actually sound more like "good". For our English song one of the Spanish girls suggested "What Does the Fox Say". I loved this idea! I thought it would be hilarious and we could've done the dance they do in the video to make it even funnier. Everyone around me agreed it would be funny, but Claire and Andrea hate the song and think it's annoying so were not doing it:( We ended class by playing Just Dance, which was awesome!

In the library I saw my little friends, and met more of their friends. All the little girls played with Andrea and I's hair almost the whole period. I loveeee when people play with my hair, so I didn't mind at all:) The funniest part of the day was in lunch. I've noticed a little the past week that when we take our trays up when we're done the teacher's will occasionally tell people to go back and eat more. The teacher in charge today took this VERY VERY seriously. She first came up to me when I sat down and told me I HAD to get a piece of fruit to eat even though I didn't want one. Whenever a student got up the teacher would check if they ate all of their food, and if they didn't they were sent back to their table to finish. You literally could not have any food left on your plate (The amount of food we get is wayyy more than the lunches my school serves in the US). One student snuck past her and she actually ran across the cafeteria to check and make sure they ate all their food, it was ridiculous! I was able to run and sneak past her though. I was cracking up the whole lunch as everyone tried to spread their food around and hide it under the plates. I just think this rule is stupid because why should you have to eat all the food if you don't like it or if you are full?

Anyways, the grade I spend most of the day in is Primero Bachillerato, which equivalent to 11th grade in the US. In March, Primero Bachillerato is taking a school trip to Paris! So as of now, I am pretty sure Claire, Andrea and I are going to go. I love Paris, so I am very excited!
