Monday I finally finished my art project. I've been working on it for long enough, I have to say though that I'm really happy with way it turned out. I ended up making a sort of 3D triangle that sort of hangs in equilibrium. It's supposed to represent my astrological sign: libra, which for those of you that don't know is a balance. I decided to take the more ambiguous approach we could say.
Wednesday was a great day. I had classes and then to end the school day I had gym. In gym we're at the pool. Basically what I have to do is go through this obstacle course in under four minutes. The first time I did it, a couple of weeks ago, it took me five minutes. This week I got through it in 4 minutes exactly. It wasn't the best time of the class but I was pretty proud of myself. I'm starting to like the pool.
I don't know if I've talked about this before but I recently bought a longboard. It was probably not the most practical purchase seeing as it's gonna be tough to get home with me but I said to myself that I had to do it. I haven't had that many opportunities to use it as of late. Recently though it's been starting get warmer and nicer so I've been using it pretty often. Last Wednesday especially, I used it to go to my French lesson and then to my dance lesson after. It was nice to get outside and do stuff and not be stuck inside.
My dance teacher was in a really bad mood so we didn't have a normal class. We started by running and working out a little but the did about 45 minutes of ballet. It reminded me how much I missed it. I really wish it had all w irked out well but I guess at the end of the day it's okay but I have been doing a lot of cool things here and I've gotten to try a lot of things.
Friday we had an event at my school called the Bol de Riz which as you might be able to guess means bowl of rice. It is a fundraiser that one of the clubs at school ours on every year. Basically, the people who participate pay the regular price for their lunch then eat just a plate of rice with some tomato sauce. The money that is leftover is then donated to one or two humanitarian organizations. I am actually apart of the club that is in charge so I helped serve the food. It was an interesting experience and I'm glad I got to help out.
This weekend was Easter!
Saturday night we went to a city called La Trance sur Mer, a beach town. We went because my host sisters' dad helped organize an event. They set up two high powered projectors and then projected images and animations onto a church, all set to music. It was extremely well done. I almost felt like it was the church that was projecting the images and not the projectors. It was incredible to say the least.
Easter Sunday we had a nice family lunch at the house. Throughout these last couple months I've really started to feel like a part of this family. I really love them. After lunch. We hung out together for a while and then Lou and I went to Les Sables d'Olonnes to eat a crepe on the beach. One of the many perks of living 30 minutes from the beach. It was a nice day.
The day after Easter is a holiday in France. Or I guess not a holiday, but we don't have school in any case. We went to Pornic, another beach city to eat at my host aunts house. I really like Pornic, it's not like most cities in France. It feels different and the beaches are much different, a lot of cliffs and rocks. It was a good weekend.
Well there you have it, a week in the life of Isaac.
