I'm coming!!

Hello everyone.

So this is it. The last post from France, dun dun dun.

I'm coming home tomorrow!!!! I knew that I would have to leave one day, but I never really believed it. I am so excited to see everyone, but it hurts my heart enormously to leave this beautiful place called the France. I've just realized how much I've grown to love everyone here.

As my friend Camille would say, "Things are only beautiful because they have an end" That is so true. If I weren't leaving, this would have been a much easier weekend emotionally, but I wouldn't choose that. Because I only had a year, I took advantage of the amazing world I was lucky enough to be in, and that made it sad to leave, happily.

I had a great weekend, starting with a circus show I went to see on thursday, and then a guitar, bonfire camping party on saturday for Kristy and her friends, then last night my own go away party, along with the 2 other exchange students in my club and my first host families daughter, named maud, who just came home from finland. I have slept a total of 6 hours in two days. I am looking forward to my 10 hours on the plane, with nothing to do.

Because it was a party for the four of us it was pretty huge. They made a slide show with our pictures throughout the year, and sang us each individually a song, and we had a huge "piece montée" cake. I danced till my legs fell off, talked to everyone and said my good byiieees....*tear*

I'm not really going to try and sum up the year. I can't. Other than to say it was an incredibly rich experience, thanks to the people first off in Canada, then everyone in France.

I hope you have all enjoyed the blog, however irregular the posts were. Just to see, can everyone who has been reading this blog, once or everyday, waiting for a new post ( sorry about that!) leave me a comment, with your name, and how you know me. With the exception of a few faithful comment-ers (thankyou!) this has always been a more or less one way thing, and I'd love to see who all has been reading!!

And now ladies and gents, it is time to organize my bags, sleep a little tonight, and then say, au revoir.

For those of you in Canada. See you tommorow!!

A tiny french annecdote

Yesterday, I went to the goat farmers farm and he taugh me how to make cheese!!! I really made cheese. Then I milked the goats, then I took home some goat milk to try.

When I was a baby, I couldn't drink normal milk, so all I drank was goats milk. When the farmer asked me if I wanted to take some home, I was like " Its been nion 18 years sinces I' ve tasted goat milk" I felt so old...

The goat milk was really good. I enjoyed it heaps.

Thats all for the tiny anecdote of the day.
