Another concert. fun fun.

Today was the day of our final Christmas concert. I had breakfast this morning so up I got (it was still dark this morning!) and set up petite deg stuff. Then off to church with defi. We got there early and had a little time to rehearse before the concert. It went uneventfully until about halfway through when Cecil our "import" (she comes for the days and then leaves) left backstage and seconds later we heard a giant THUD. Turns out she had gotten overheated...how I have no idea because in all honesty the backstage area was the size of a closet space and it was frigid! Either way she fainted on stage...we all thought it was part of the sketch. It wasn't. So our three nurses (well ones a widewife, but we'll count her anyways) rushed to the rescue and fixed her up. She's fine now, but she spent the rest of the concert sitting. That was basically the climax of the concert and then we sang some more and were done. It was good, but not as good as our first concert. I think the late night viewing of Runaway Jury and crepe party we had last night could have played a role. Most people were kind of lethargic and so the singing in front of tons of people thing wasnt high on anyones list today. Yet we did it and then come back home. The rest of the day has passed pretty normally. We are all sitting in the salle cheminier and we've turned the couches so we can look our the windows. Hannah is reading a book about how to be a christian lawyer next to me--HAHA--and the others are watching disney films. Crazy kids. Tonight we have another crepe soiree with Juniho and his fiancee. I think Sam and some other friends are also coming up for the evening. And that is a sum up of today.

This coming week is going to be crazy. We have one day off and then we work straight through till next Monday. It's going to be a long week. We're trying to get all the work done so we get a break for Christmas. Then this coming weekend we have a party for defi and than they leave. Sunday is the Brigoud Christmas party and then Tuesday we finally go on break. Basically our last week with DEFI will be caotic. I hope we have some time to spend with them. Lately we've all been staying up till forever all hanging out. A typical bed time right now is about 2 or 3 AM. Not good if you're getting up for breakfast at 7 AM. :( Either way it's almost over.

For Christmas Kristin and I after tons of decisions have decided to stay here. We were debating going to visit a friend, but she lives pretty far by train and its rather expensive and the times of the trains due to holiday travel are pretty terrible. So thus Christmas at camp. It won't be that bad, we're going to the Reeves and we decorated and it will be nice to relax. It's going to be nice to just have a few days to do nothing. I havent done nothing in...ummm i can't remember the last time I did nothing actually. Plus our friend Jonny is coming back from school in Wales and our other friend Matthew is coming home from school in America so we will be visiting with them for a bit as well.

Right now the sun is setting outside the window. It's 4:30 and the sun is setting. It didnt even rise till about 8. Depressing. That's what that is.

We're probably going skiing this Thursday. My first ski experience in the French alps. I have waited for my whole life to accomplish this dream, hard to believe it could happen Thursday!!!!

and on that note...im going to go do something productive. This doesnt count. Bonne soir.
