Disney Channel

I just wanted to start off this blog by talking about something I should mention everytime I write, but I just want to share how good God has been to me. He is really teaching me a lot dealing with this family and I will continue to pray for guidance and patience. But He has never left my side and I can feel His influence in my life. He is also teaching me to appreciate more fully everything I have in my family and He has blessed me bountifully. I pray that I can keep an attitude of humility and hope that you all can see His hand in your life as much as I can. :)

It was an uneventful weekend for the most part. My foot has still been hurting me so I stayed in a lot. Saturday was our first day alone with Cammie. Our first encounter was when Leah and I went to get some lunch and I pulled out a frozen pizza (the only food Anne ever specifically mentioned we could eat) and started reading the directions. Cammie, hearing us in the kitchen, naturally came to see what we were up to. Leah was getting out plates and cups, but she stormed right up to me and demanded to know what I was doing. "Why do you not ask Jessica?? You not ask if you can eat." "Anne told us we could eat the pizza Cammie." After muttering various things in French, she took the pizza out of my hands, set it on the table, turned on the oven, and left. Lovely girl. We went to Aundencia to print off Leah's train information so she could print them out at the station. I was going to go to the center with her, but had to go home because I couldn't walk too well. At about 5:30 I went to my second professional ice hockey match since I've been here. I've discovered I really like going to ice hockey games. It gets a little cold after a while but I'm so impressed with their skating skills and like it when they all crash into the wall. :) I went with my friends Peter and JC and we sat about the 4th row up. I think ice hockey is about the only sport that sitting closer isn't better. Went back to have a late dinner with Leah. Thank goodness Cammie left us alone. I made scrambled eggs and Leah toasted some bread, got out the ham, and we split a grapefruit. Not all bad. We worked on a homework project afterwards but weren't very productive. Perhaps it was because Cammie had decided to throw a party that night in her mom's absence. She had about 5 girls over and 3 guys and they were all smoking and the music was loud to say the least. I didn't really mind, but the smoke got so thick in my room (two floors up) that I had to open my window to ventilate and it got pretty cold. Ha. When Leah left my room to go down to hers, she said she walked past the living room and she sent me a message saying, "Dear Cripple,
I wish you could have walked downstairs and witnessed what I
just saw...Camille and her friends...hammered...singing the bear necessities in
french in a corner of the living room...with their drinks in the air.
They are currently trying to sing an english song....of which they know maybe a total
of 2 words...it's yogurt ...to the EXTREME
(yogurt is what the French call making up words when you don't know the correct words to a song. most of them yogurt to almost all American songs..which is mostly what they listen to. it's actually pretty funny)
So I'm actually pretty bummed I missed that. The next morning I got to meet some of her friends. That was a pleasure. I hung out in Leah's room until lunch, which we had the joy of sharing with a slightly hungover Cammie. When Leah left for Italy, I also left to go to Audencia..mostly to avoid being in the house alone with my best friend, but also because our jank internet wasn't working well. I got a little homework done but ended up spending most of my time skyping my parents. It was great to talk to them and my dad skyped me most of the night setting up new browsers on my computer. Yay for skype screen sharing. I've also taken to occasionally watching old Disney Channel movies on YouTube. I've covered Motorcrossed and Cheetah Girls. Qualityy. Then today Anne finally came home..I'm actually glad because she brought cereal to eat for breakfast. I told her that I hurt my foot and asked her if she had crutches. She said yes but she told me that I should go to the doctor. This would sound sweet, but she only thinks I should go to the doctors so I can get my own pair of crutches. Me borrow something of Anne's? Over her dead body. So now I'm going to a French doctor this afternoon so he can tell me that I twisted or strained my foot. Which I already know. BUT. Positive attitude. I need crutches just so I can stay off my foot for a while and definitely because I'm going to Berlin TOMORROW!!
