October School Break

As this break comes up I have several goals that I’d like to accomplish I thought that I would share them with you:

1)      Spend time with my friends from school. I see them all day at school (and today I was at school from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, so that’s no small thing) but the weekends always seem to be full before they’ve begun!

2)      Read the books and texts which have been assigned by my French and Literature teachers. Considering how long it’s taking me to read the French copy of “The Princess Diaries” which a friend lent me, this may be a little optimistic. But I’ve always been a reader and I don’t plan to let a little thing like language stop me from reading my books.

3)      Get a winter coat and shoes. After the cold this morning, I don’t think I want to put it off much longer.

4)      Skype home. I love talking with you Mom and Dad, and but I admit I’m not one of those students whose problem is calling home too much!

5)      Do my homework. I get it all done, even if it’s just a quick attempt at analyzing French literature squeezed in between whatever else I’m doing.

6)      Make Halloween cupcakes with my host family.

7)      Meet up with my third host family to spend time with them.

8)      Review my French- as much as I get better every day, I still think that a review of basic conjugations and vocabulary wouldn’t hurt.

9)      Sleep. Which is what I’m actually going to go do in a few minutes, since I’d like to get over my cold.

So there are some Great Expectations. It seems feasible and fun, and we'll see how much of it actually gets done! (For me, it's the principle of having a to-do list which gives my life direction, rather than it's perfect completion.)
