"tous en greve mardi 16/12- 8h30 devant ango"

Currently I'm sitting in the lounge of the Mercure Hotel. It's Monday, 11 AM. I should be in school, but I got there and all the entry's were blocked. Hahah. There's protests that have been going on for the past two weeks at all the schools in France. Little Nicolas Sarkoz decided to reform all the schools and remove art classes, theater, etc. Basically any options. He felt there were "unnecessary" and is also booting out about 50+ teachers at each school. Needless to say, everyone is pissed off. Its normal here for students to rally and protest...and of course I wanted to join. I told my host mum I was going to protest with my friends Thursday. The response I was given...
"That's forbidden, it's not your place,
you aren't French..."

So today, as much as I wanted to blockade the school with all the students and teachers, I ended up sitting in the Hotel of my host dad drinking coffee and reading all the magazines I've already read. But I'm content, no school tomorrow and Wednesday also and the 2-3 week Christmas break starts Friday!#


This weekend I ventured to the Discotheque, 'L'Excalibeur' AKA- dance club. It was fun, I danced like mad all night and it was 'Neige' night so there was soap bubbles everywhere as artifical snow. Soooooooooooooo fun.


Miss you all.
Christmas is going to be weird. Really weird.
I'm leaving Saturday morning to go on vacation with
a family I sortof/kinda don't know at all. Mentioned
them before.. I was inlove with their son that left for Argentina for exchange. But, I'm visiting Omaha Beach and all the American beaches from D-day and the memorials. I'll take pictures and post them, I promise.
