Our weekend

Well Saturday was great, between seeing Jeremy, Sam, Claire, Thierry, and Emmy again and getting back into the swing of having poeple around. We have 110 people here right now and so it's always a little caotic at meals, but we're moving really fast because everyone has worked here before at some point so everyone knows what they are doing. I love this group of equipiers because many of them have been here working with me at some other point of this summer. I feel like they are almost my family in a way. Last night after work we had such a long dinner together and told tons of funny stories from our lives. It was nice to actually understand the french that was spoken. It still seems strange to me when someone is telling a story in french and I actually find myself understanding most of what they are saying! I guess I should add a finally to that sentence, I finally understand some of what they are saying. After dinner we watched a french movie with english subtitles. This is one of the best ways to learn and improve your french they say because then you are hearing more of the language and also reading it in your own. Luckily despite the extreme fatigue I found that about halfway through I had actually stopped reading and was beginning to follow the dialogue! Yes for progess!

Last night was long. We went to sleep about 1 and only slept till 2 because I have been suffering from a wonderful cough and sore throat, which led to me not breathing o so well. Needless to say Kristin was pretty freaked at being woken up by the sound of me choking in my sleep. A cup of tea and tons of cough drops later and we both tried to fall asleep again. Sadly we only made it to about 5 when once again I could not breath. It's a pretty scary feeling especially because there isn't any medicine that we have for a cough or my throat. This morning I ended up finally falling asleep as actually slept through the breakfast and cleanup waking up just in time to watch them set the last dishes on the table...guess being sick does have some perks haha. Needless to say there is a visit to the doctor in the coming future :( ugg i hate doctors!

Right now Sam, Jeremy, Allan, Thierry, and Juniho are all playing Urban Terror. It's basically this game where we all run around in a cyber world shooting each other! As you can imagine with all of us playing on our own computers in seperate rooms around camp it adds a most comical element. Kristin, Doris, and Emmy are preparing lunch and today we will be eating outside as the weather is absolutly gorgeous here.

This evening the students will arrive and we still have a bunch of stuff to clean in order to have their rooms ready, sadly we have to wait for the current residents to leave before we can clean thus the sitting around playing on the computers that has ensued.

Last night as we were all sitting and talking together we counted that we had 5 counries represented, and 9 different languages at our little table. You know you're at Champfleuri working equipier when...haha. It's been great to hang out with some different people and to get to meet more of the extended camp family. It seems that in the christian community of France everyone is related! The church here from Albertville actually has some people that I know from this summer and from around the area! And with that Sam just totally killed Jeremy and they are all celebrating...guess its time to go play myself!
