Friends...

Hey Everyone,
I think I'm at the point of not being afraid to talk, which is a good feeling. Today, I talked a little with some girls in line for lunch and I ended up eating lunch with all of them. It's good to get to know more people.
I'm eating dinner in an hour or so - and have been back to eating carrots like I always do :) The weather has been kind of miserable, but I suppose that's winter for you. Christmas is completely different here. People don't really 'get ready' for Christmas. I mean there are some decorations and things like that - but not nearly as commercialized and idealized like in the States. I miss commercialization - it's such a beautiful illusion. I don't think we're even going to put up Christmas lights because the boys don't really feel like it. But I suppose it's not a big deal because we have such a long driveway, it's not like anyone would see them anyway.
This weekend I think I am going to go out a little with some friends and since I don't have school tomorrow I'm going to try to do some shopping in Bordeaux. We'll see...
