Translated, that means I’m waiting. I’m impatiently waiting for the French students’ arrival. They are due to arrive on Wednesday evening, and they’ll leave on Monday morning, as far as I know. I’ve already contacted my correspondent: her name is Coralie, and she’s very nice I can’t wait to spend my time with her I’ve also contacted some other students, which are going to be hosted by my friends/classmates. And it’s like a ‘blessing’ for us that most of them know English, as this will ease our conversation. I can speak French, but not as easily as I speak English, and I usually make a lot of mistakes. But I’ll try to speak French too, for is a great opportunity to improve my language, and you know that the more languages you can speak fluently, the better is for you I think this will be my last blog entry until they’ll leave Romania, although I was thinking of making a video blog with my French fellow as a ‘special guest’. You know, like the special guests in TV shows Well, I’ll see. Actually, I first thought of making the video blog today, featuring me playing the guitar, but then an avalanche of homework hit me unaware, so I gave up -.-

Moving on, I bought a new screen for my PC today (a Full HD ) and it’s so….wide It took me a while to get used to it, but tonight I’m gonna test it on a movie and see if it was worth the money. So far, it’s been worth for one reason: I now have a lot more space on my desk My that’s not the main reason LCD screens are made for 0.o

Well, this was a short blog, as it was meant to be from the start (or it’s just an illusion caused by the width of my new screen ). Anyway, I’m going to practice guitar a little now, as my correspondent doesn’t like rock music too much, and I want to learn something to entertain her (something from Beyonce, or Nelly Furtado perhaps?)

I was listening to Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish you were here’, and as I didn’t have any better idea of a title for this post, I chose these lyrics So as to make a brief list of the events that have happened lately, or are actually due to happen, I’m starting with Rebecca’s sixteen birthday, which was on Friday. She invited us to a pub somewhere near our high school, and it was literally what’s called a Girls’ Night Out. We just stayed at our table, ate pizza, ordered drinks (future alcoholics ), and gossiped It made me easily realize that you don’t need to be like ‘OMG! I can’t handle so much fun!’ to feel purely good You only have to be surrounded by people you can’t fail having a good time with. Am I right?

Moving further on the list of news, the French students I told you about in the last blog are coming on 24th February, which is only one and a half week away. We had to fill in some forms during the weekend, regarding our basic information, what we like, our personality, etc. We bring the forms back to our teacher tomorrow, and we’ll also choose our ‘correspondant français’. Haha, it sounds like we’d pick a product from the shelf at the supermarket I don’t mean to be…mean ^^ but this is everybody’s attitude. Some friends have even come up with elaborate plans on how to terrorize the poor French students, wake them up at 6 o’clock in the morning with a horn, or settle them in dog’s cage. But they were just kidding, don’t worry for the French fellows, they’ll be okay I’m sure we’ll have a great time together, both here and in Cholet I’m really looking forward to their arrival ^^

Well, that’s it! I’m going back to practice guitar ^^
Oh, I was about to forgot: Happy Valentine’s Day to those who…well…celebrate it

I know the title may be a bit confusing, non-sense for you, but it represents what may be called ‘phrase of the night’ at last night’s party we threw at Lavi’s. Darius was teasing Ana (really badly! 0.o) and asked her ‘Why…*something I do not remember*?’ and then Ana’s reply stormed like out of nowhere, completely lacking any trace of sense: ‘Because of airport!’ It hit us unaware, and it got us rolling on the floor laughing We continued on repeating the now already famous phrase ‘Because of airport!’ for the rest of the night, between choked laughter. Everything that was happening was because of airport, or at the airport. I’m still stunned of how dramatically it lacks sense, but it was funny anyway. Now it doesn’t seem as funny as at that moment, and I’m wondering how someone could say something like this Overall, the party was great, there were a lot of persons, unexpected ones, we terrorized the rest of the apartments with the audio system, we played guitar and I finally got Billie Joe tuned, thanks to Oana’s lovely guitar tuner I showed off my guitar skills, ha! I made Ana enviously leave the room when I played Good Riddance plucked (with picking). I’m not boasting, don’t get me wrong We also ordered pizza, and played the party common game ‘Truth or Dare’, but happily enough the challenges weren’t so harsh as always I mean skandenberg and acting like a cluster (I don’t know how someone is supposed to act like a cluster, so yeah, it’s 2-0 for non-sense!) is not that bad

Other important facts: I’m taking part in an experience exchange that my high school and a French private school are involved in. The French students are coming to Romania this February, and we’ll have to take a French student home, and by the end of May we are going to France (I’ll see Paris! ). Hopefully, the French students are supposed to know English, so communication will be much easier than if I had to struggle to speak French. However, I have proposed myself to try and speak French as much as I can, until I will involuntary burst into English. But I’m sure we’ll have a great time, either here and in France. I’m still pondering on whether I should host a girl or a boy. What do you say? Also, the trip to France occurs to be in the same period as the IDF Dance Championship in Hungary, so no dance champ this year, unfortunately I chose going to France because our dance team is highly affected by lack of interest from boys’ side, so there was small chance of having a great performance there, so it wouldn’t be worth going. Nevertheless, I’m still going to training

That being said, I’m kinda done. I wanna learn a new guitar song, either ‘Don’t Cry’ by Guns N’ Roses or ‘The Man who sold the World’ by Nirvana. I found some interesting tutorials here. Bye! ^^
