Yo!

I hardly even remember today. Perhaps it had so much that it was hard to pick stuff out, or maybe it had too little. Or maybe because we had to wake up so 'early' my brain wasn't quite so.. "ready". We had muesli for breakfast, which I don't even really like. The oats and grains and barley is all soft and squishy and soggy and I prefer a nice crunchy, firm cereal to digest. Plus muesli is just so tasteless and boring.

How judgmental of me. But after that, I was pretty cool with stuff. We took a small train ride, took a small boat ride, walked around, took pictures, ate food, then went back pretty much the same way, but the other way around. It was a tremendous day. So tremendous it was horrendous. The sun just kept... shining. And they say global warming isn't real....

The final destination, a small small village in France on the other side of the lake called Yvoire, had already been visited by us. But it was nice to show the Luners the place, and that was also where I found out my camera could do black and white and sepia. I know, I'm sort of a failing/slow photographer. So I would just play around with that and stuff. There were tons of people, so the boat ride was somewhat unpleasant. People that didn't strike me as first class-ish were indeed seated in the first class area, and of course there were those slightly weird but enthusiastic people that would "play" with their little kids in front of their friends' camera.


All the while, Allen would blow his nose, Zach would glower at the water, a water-skiier stupidly drove up right next to the big boat, we talked in English, took pictures and the ticket guys would come around to click our tickets. I felt like a tourist, but really it was nothing compared to how the Luners felt, probably. I mean, no offense to them- they are very awesome people. There's just something about having stayed in a foreign place for 9 months, as opposed to just having arrived there.

We had crepes for lunch, which were a success. We got to talking about college American sports, which literally made me forget I was in France. Ah. America... *glazed look in my eyes*

On the way back, though, we stopped at the cornavin to look at swatches and buy chocolate. Allen and Evelyn both got awesome watches, and we talked a bit with the swatch person. She was Portugese but spoke good English and French, but I had definitely heard an accent.

They're leaving early tomorrow, which stinks. I rather want them to stay longer. I mean, I don't even know them that well but for some reason feel at ease or whatever.

The band horizon looks rather good, though. The guy emailed back and he said I could audition, so that's good. I sort of have to wait a bit (well, to get back of course), but I'm still feeling slightly confident. I haven't had the most band stuff this year, but I'll probably survive.

I'm off to play Hearts with Allen and possibly someone else, and then a nice sleep. Or like yeah. I shan't worry about going back to school. It's just 2 and a half months, people. I've done 2 and a half months 4 times.
