The Maitresse starts speaking and I can't understand anything. All I can hear is @#&*()Y*&%%$$%#. I mean it doesn't make any sense. Whenever the teacher asks questions, I don't answer but the guy next to me puts his hand up and starts yelling "ooh ooh ..... moi moi"! We start to pull out binders and label them. One thing I found out was that the French only write in cursive it's kinda cool. One binder we labeled with a fountain pen. I didn't think the ink was in so I fiddled around with it, next thing I know the ink is all over me! La Maitresse comes over and says what's the matter? ...... at least I think that's what she said! I didn't answer because I didn't know what she said, then she gave me a different pen. I was so embarrassed!
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!
Oh well.... thankfully its time to go home for lunch as you can see!!
Bon appétit

Hi Maddy! (from Julia Quarin)
ReplyDeleteI just read your blog and I saw that you were nervous on your first day - but I'm also going to be nervous on my first day at my new school. So I will know exactly how you feel!! By the way what is a fountain pen?
Your friend, Julia
Hi Maddy,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds very stressful but it seems you are managing it quite well. I would bet that in about 3-4 weeks you will be an old pro at it and perhaps by the time you return to Canada, you will re introduce the fountain pen. Take care, hang in, it will be all worth it.
A big hug to you,
Lia
Congrats on getting through your first (and now your second) day(s) of school Maddy! I will be sure to share your blog post with our Maddy and Cole... they think they had it rough with starting school today!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry all that French stuff will begin making sense one of these fine days! Keep posting those photos - we love to hear and see about your adventures!
