summary?

So. We've been here like 23 days or something like that. I'd say, overall, it has been...interesting. Weird. Boring. Hard. Exciting. Painful. Dull. Warm. Rainy. Sad. Depressing. Fun. Tasty. There's a 13-word summary. Here's what an average day for me here is like:

Waking up in our apartment normally happens around 8-9am for me. And is caused by either me naturally waking up, hearing my parents talk (you can hear almost everything in our apartment, so it's really annoying when people are talking) or like...I just...woke..up. Then I take my retainer out of my mouth (I've been wearing that thing like everyday since I've gotten it) and look out the window to look at the weather. Normally it's sunny. Sometimes dark and rainy. Then I get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom. By then I'm pretty fully awake (that did not make sense, but whatever) and am ready to "greet" the day.

Breakfast consists mostly of bread-like things. A croissant; plain or with jam or something, a chocolate croissant, cereal (mostly like Nesquik, muesli, etc), or like...bread. Oh, and we have tons of fruit. Sometimes, though, we are treated by having my dad's famous blueberry pancakes which are a-really really goooood. Goosd. Really goosd. So then I normally get on the computer. I'm supposed to study French everyday for like 20-30 minutes. Sometimes that happens. Sometimes I just don't feel like it or forget. Then I'll check email, see if anyone is on chat. 'Course, it'd be like...in the wee hours of the morning at that time for you guys. But whatever. I'll blog. Maybe do YouTube. Do lots of iTunes. Then, unless we have some plan for the day, like hiking or shopping or something, I might read a book, write, practice guitar, write a letter, sit being bored, feel sad, or procrastinate about practicing my trumpet. But normally I spend several hours on the computer.

Lunch. Fruit, baguette, bread n' cheese, meat, uh fruit again...that kinda stuff. We go through a lot of baguettes. And a box of like 8 croissants normally lasts about...2 days. We go grocery shopping a lot. A TON. And we always get a lot of food. Us Americans..pshaw. Such gluttonous eaters. Anyway. Then I might ride my bike somewhere or something. If you haven't guessed it already, an average day here is dull, boring, and normally depressing. But somehow I have managed. So yeah.

Dinner (or "din-din" as I like to call it) is... normally pasta or meat or something. It's just dinner. Not that...unusual. But anyway. After-dinner activities consist of-no, not after-dinner mints,-but like, doing the dishes, playing cards, watching a movie, reading, or any of the above pretty much. I also might like sweep. I swear, you can get like a pretty decent pile of dirt and crumbs and other bligadesh (you type of stuff you collect on a broom) like every frickin' day. It's actually kinda gross. But anyway. Ooh! We also of course have dessert. Can not forget them cactus's! Ha ha...no that was not funny I know. But as I was saying...dessert is normally like chocolate or ice cream. We have some Twix bars left and Cornettos. Them goooood. (Goosd) Then I might stay up to see if anyone is on chat, which is normally 0-2 people, and then brush teeth, take shower, etc. Then I'll get back into my bed, absorbing my new room, and say goodnight to my friends.

I'll have to do an entry explaining my day. It'll take too long (which is surprise considering the pathetic amount of worthwhile things I do around here without you to invite me over). Actually, let's be honest. I spend about an hour a day tops doing something meaningful.
