Plays and Philosophy Papers (Part 2)
I hope you guys found that amusing, because I sure did.
Other news in my life:
Last update I gave you guys was my whole birthday bonanzaaaaaaaaaaaaaa so I don't need to go into detail about that, however I didn't go into detail about the Nuit Blanche, so I'll do that now.
I'm gonna set the scene first, bear with me. Nuit Blanche: rain, flying Japanese trapeze artists, feathers, rain, sea of umbrellas, rain.
There you have it folks, a first hand account of the Nuit Blanche Metz. It was fun and everything, but there was so much freaking rain it was ridiculous, and the show that was put on wasn't very interesting, in fact it was really weird and they dumped feathers on the crowd, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand feathers and rain don't mix. Let's just say people looked like ducks. Not pleased, very french ducks.
MOVING ON FROM FRENCH DUCKS, the few days after that were kinda hard, just cause of some personal stuff I'd not like to discuss. THEN IT WAS MY HOST SISTERS BIRTHDAY AND FUN TIMES YAY.
This week the Danish girl named Sine is leaving, so we're throwing her a going away cafe trip. Also possibly getting her a gift. Woot, that should be fun. I don't think i even talked about Sine, so HERE GOES.
Sine is the Danish correspondent that's at our school for three weeks, and she doesn't speak much French, but happens to speak very good English, so it's hilarious watching my classmates try and communicate with her. But she's super nice and everything and yeah, she's a sweetheart.
Boom, there's my life update, hope y'all enjoyed it happy thanksgiving i think.

Mumford & Sons - Below My Feet
This song perfectly describes my feelings for today, because the lyrics honestly just perfectly encompass what every exchange student goes through at the beginning of their exchange, then the chorus reminds us to not get too stuck up, and to remain humble throughout the amazing experiences that they encounter throughout their year.
Birthday Bonanza
So, today's my birthday. It's hard to put my feelings into words, but seriously this has been one of the most impactful birthdays of my life so far. The generosity of strangers, even if we've been together for a month is still overwhelming. When I woke up this morning I skyped with my family back home, because my twin happens to share my birthday. WHAT A COINCIDENCE. But, that was nice, and then I had school. Which wasn't so nice, but there's a tradition at my school; when it's your birthday you buy "des petits chou" for your entire class, so I did that this morning grace a l'aide de Marie, so thanks Marie :3 After school my whole class (I believe) went for a quick coffee, during which they presented me with a gift. A T-shirt that was signed by everyone in the class, INCLUDING MY PHILOSOPHY TEACHER WHO'S A BIG, MEAN LOOKING, EX MILITARY MAN WITH HUGE MUSCLES AND TERRIFIES ME, so that was super nice. I literally teared up when i saw the shirt though, because it's such a simple yet touching gesture, and I really enjoy personal gestures like that. After the coffee date with 23 other people I went to have lunch with my host family and some extended relatives. My host family also gave me some gifts, including a soccer jersey with my name on the back (too cool) and a picture frame with lots of pictures with me and my host family since I got here. I was really touched by it cause it's just really too cool :3 Then my host grandmother gave me a decorative plate from Metz, which includes a painting of the cathedral which is a landmark of the city. It has the most stained glass windows in all of Europe, so take that Europe. Tonight I'm going to the Nuit Blanche, which is basically a city-wide all nighter, and also having dinner with a few close friends. Should be a good night! (here's hoping anyways)
