Ca c’est pour exerser un peu mon francais ecrit sans accents, mais ca n’a pas d’importance maintenant. J’ecris sur le blog parce que d’habitude je trouves d’inspiration ici. Je n’ecriverai pas un blog en anglais parce que je n’ai pas du temps. J’espere que Coralie va envoyer moi les photos aujourd’hui, et je vais les mettre sur le blog, pour ces qui ne comprennent pas le francais. Cette article c’est pour un concours de francais, qui est ce Mercredi.

Je dois commencer en disant que le projet “Découvrir l’Europe” entre le Lycée Sainte Marie du Cholet et le Collège National Carol I du Craiova a été pour la deuxième fois bien réussit. Les élèves françaises et roumaines ont passe du temps mémorables ensemble, pendant les activités a l’école, et aussi pendant leur temps libre, qui a dure jusqu’a quelques heures du nuit.Bien que le programme a été chargé, nous avons réussi de faire tout que nous nous sommes proposées.

Intéresse de connaitre en détail tout qui s’est déroulé pendant les quatre jours quand Craiova étais “envahi” par les élevés françaises? Je commencerai avec leur arrivée du Mercredi soir, à presque 9 heures de la nuit, devant notre lycée. Tout le monde avait un peu de peur concernant la connaissance de leur correspondant/correspondante. S’étais très intéressant, et unique d’entendre touts les roumains (parents et élevés) essayant de parler français avec leurs hôtes.

Jeudi, le programme a commencé avec une visite dans la salle des professeurs, et âpres un spectacle qui a été présentée par les élevés roumains. On a vu des interprétas vocales, quelqu’un très talentueux, quelqu’un d’autres on peut dire moins talentueux, du danse traditionnel roumain, mais en général c’a été du bon divertissement. Apres, les élevs français ont fait un tour de notre lycée, et l’impression générale a été que le bâtiment du Carol I ressemble Hogwarts du le très populaire film “Harry Potter”. Je sais que le bâtiment est très vieux, mais comme Hogwarts? Non, je ne crois pas ça. Est-ce que vous le trouvez comme ça? Apres le diner, qu’on a pris aux Restaurant Mercur, le group est allé visiter l’Eglise Madona Dudu. Le soir, nous sommes allés au bowling. Il y a la première fois qu’on a joué bowling pour plusieurs de nous, mais le temps s’est envolé dans une manière très amusante, n’importe combien de points on a marqué.

Vendredi, nous avons rencontre a l’école a 9 heures du matin, ainsi tôt! Les ateliers de travail ont constitue un grand aide pour socialiser, fortifier les relations entre les élevés français et roumains, découvrir des nouveaux talents, utiliser notre imagination. L’activité a emploié un atelier de peinture sur poterie, un atelier de ‘cuisiner’ (ils ont préparées des sandwiches décorées en façons très intéressants), un atelier du danse traditionnel roumain, un atelier de musique, et en fin, un atelier de journalisme, qui a eu l’emploi d’interviewe les membres de les autres ateliers. Il y a été très drôle d’apprendre les élevés françaises une danse traditionnel roumain, et de l’écouter chantant ‘Gasca Mea’ (En roumain, si vous pouvais croire!), mais aussi les sandwiches ont été jusqu’au moment parce que nous avons eu faim.
Vous aimeriez beaucoup le soir disco à Gin-Gin si vous aimiez la musique trop forte, mais nous avons danse et nous nous sommes sentis bien ensemble. Nous avons continue jusqu’a quelques heures du matin.

Le matin suivant, la fatigué nous a complètement submerge, mais jusqu’au soir nous avais trouvés assez d’énergie pour danser encore. Dimanche, nous sommes partis en excursion a Targu-Jiu, mais j’ai eu l’impression que les célèbres sculptures du Constantin Brancusi n’ont représente pas des choses extraordinaires pour les élevés françaises. Peut-être ils étaient trop fatigués pour visiter des monuments.

La séparation a été le plus difficile moment pour nous touts. Il y a eu beaucoup de larmes, des étreintes, mais en fin nous avons réalise qu’on va ne voir encore en May, et deux mois n’est pas ainsi long temps.

Le partenariat a été bien réussit, et les professeurs et élevés français ont remercie aux élevés roumain pour les accueillir. On à touts de bonnes mémoires de ces 5 jours que nous avons passés ensemble. L’arrivée du group français aux Craiova a été bien popularisée parce que tout le monde sait: des touts les élevés de notre lycée a les chauffeurs de taxi et les vendeurs dans le centre commercial du Craiova, et ça m’a bien impressionne. Notre lycée espère que ce projet va se dérouler a l’avenir, parce qu’on a une très bonne collaboration avec le Lycée Sainte Marie.

Et bien, ça c’est l’article.

I can’t write French anymore, I’m too tired and my eyes hurt horribly. I’ve lost my whole day writing this, so I hope that at least the teacher will pick for the contest. Coralie hasn’t sent me the photos, so I hope she’ll get online tomorrow and send them to me, cause I’m really impatient to see them. Well, I guess it’s time for a ‘See you next week’ cause I have a hard week ahead: test at Romanian on Monday, at Informatics on Tuesday, the French contest on Wednesday, test paper at Chemistry on Thursday, and on Friday *it’s impossible not to have anything!* perhaps a test at biology 0.o So yeah, wish me luck cause I vitally need it! :| I hope I’ll post the photos tomorrow :)
Oh, Darius! How could I forget about you? It’s ‘uncroyable’ X_x But I’m writing about you now, ’cause your my friend, right? :) I know that your French correspondent wasn’t that great, but I’m sure you still had fun with us, and we’ll have a lot of fun when we’ll go to France. Happy now?:D
Bye! ^^

J’attends

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 :D 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 :D 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 b-) ) 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 :D 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 :nerd: ). 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?)

So, so you think you can tell?

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 :D 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 :nerd: ), and gossiped :D 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 :D

On a gagné le Grand Prix!

Woohooo! We won the Grand Prix at the french or ‘francophonie’ contest we had on Friday. After so many weeks of rehearsals the day of the contest finally passed over, but now I’m struggling to take off that ‘grrr’ accent :| Oh yeah, and also English doesn’t seem as fluent as it was before..lol…that’s bad :| All this français thing kinda affected me, cause we repeated so much, and I tried so much to get my accent as french as possible cause now some r containing words come out of my mouth a bit ‘rrr’ even in Romanian. Damn it! Not to say that parts of the drama come into my mind again and again 0.o Sometimes I find myself repeating in my mind parts of my presentation speech, or parts of that childish song called ‘Le Chat Botté’ suddenly pop up into my head…duh! I need to get rid of this as soon as possible! :-s Oh…but I started with the band things …haha :D So…I omitted what was the most important, that our drama won the Grand Prix, out of another like 20-25 participant groups from various schools in our region b-) The play was written by one of our mates from the 7th grade, and then translated into French by our teacher. It was about a girl that was the new one in school and couldn’t stand the French teacher ( I can’t really give you any sharp details cause of course almost nobody could fully understand all the words :blush: ) It starts with that girl walking around her bedroom and confessing to her diary all her complaints about the teacher and the new school in general. Then two mates, a girl and a boy, come to invite her to the ‘circle de français’ (well that’s sort of a meeting between students and teachers, usually hold in the weekend, where are developed fun activities like drama, dance, singing, literature and so on). After a long talk the two manage to convince the main character to come with them. Once they arrive at school, the French teacher behaves very friendly with the girl, and tell everybody there that the girl’s poem entitled ‘Frustration’ (french accent here :D ) was chosen for a contest. Then the choir starts singing and a group of dancers starts dancing. After that, back into the girl’s bedroom, she’s again with her diary, saying that from now on she has friends and feels much better. And then finally the drama ends with kind of a cliche “J’adore ma vie!” 8-| Whatever, the idea of the drama is nothing extraordinary, it’s actually pretty common, but the actors’ role play, and the spectacle offered by the choir and the dance group were those which made this drama extraordinary, and indeed a winner. I’m very happy we won, cause our teacher is very strict and kinda perfectionist, and less than the Grand Prix would have been a disappointment for her, and a failure for us. But it all ended up well! :)

And…because it’s some of those tough weeks for me, today I had the geography contest, the county stage. The subjects were pretty rubbish and annoying. I mean…from all those interesting things they could gave us, like identifying cities or rivers on a map, they gave some stupidities that nobody could have ever think of…but anyway it doesn’t mean to much for me, so the result, whatever it will be, won’t bother me too much. The intriguing thing is that the teacher told Ramona that she didn’t qualify for this stage of the contest, and she has even scold her taking a mark way below the expectations. But when another girl and I went to the contest today we saw that actually Ramona was on the lists, so she qualified. This made me change my opinion about the teacher, cause I tend to believe that she DIDN’T WANT to tell Ramona she qualified, rather than she DID A MISTAKE 8-| But…whatever, we’ll see on Monday or Tuesday the teacher’s reaction and explanations about what happened.

Ahh…I wanted to update a little today, or maybe just return comments, but it seems that I didn’t have time …again! :| First, mom had a lot to work and she needed the computer, and then when my time finally came, after I checked out my email the internet connection broke down, and it took me like half an hour to restart the computer. After that my dad took my place in front of the computer, and I finally managed to sit in front of the computer after my dad finished and I took a shower, so pretty late, as now I just have time to finish this blog and go to bed. Hope this week I’ll have some more free time, although I may have a couple of test papers 8-| And I’m really sorry if I made any grammar or spelling mistakes in this blog, but not only french took over English this week, I’m also very tired :-s Bye bye now!
