Happy Belated Halloween!

Lately things have been looking very up. Fall break has ended and I've got a full 6 weeks of school before another.

My halloween was so much fun. My family took me to an "American" restaurant/grill for dinner. It was quite the experience. When we walked in there was a statue of a native american wearing an american flag skirt.

oxymoran anyone?

The food was very belgian. The whole place was dressed up in patriotic decor. The only thing American about it was that it took so bloody long to bring us our food!

My family then drove me to my friend Brianna's house in Mons (Bri is from B.C.) where I spend the night with my three exchange buddies. We went to the grand place for a night out on the town and had a blast. While in search of some sort of dancing, we found ourselves in the Irish Pub where all of the workers were dressed up. Finally some holiday spirit!

Now it is back to the usual routine. Early morings, french lectures, strict rules, but lots of good people. My french is improving and I'm getting into the swing of things. I can't believe I'm already a fourth of the way through!
