Back to Lille...

This morning I woke up at 6:30AM so Sean, Clarisse and I would be out the door by 7:20AM. Our plan was for Clarisse and Sean to take me to le Gare de Nord so I could get my train ticket. We got to the train station around 8:10AM. The departure I chose was 8:58AM so I didn't have to wait very long. Once I found where I was going to stay and wait, I said good-bye to Sean and Clarisse. They then left for the airport since Sean had to be checked in and through security by 10:00AM.

While I waited, I read my book for school. I kept checking the boards to see if the platform number for my train was going to show up. Around 8:45AM, there was an announcement that said my train was going to be moved up to 9:20AM. I wasn't too happy but what was I going to do. So I waited and read my book a little more. Right at 9:20AM, another announcement said that my train was going to be moved up to 9:40AM. Now, I was just mad because it kept changing and I never thought it would come.

When the trian finally came, I got on and found my seat. I left Paris around 9:47AM and arrived in Lille around 10:50AM. Rose was waiting for me at the station. Since she originally though my train was going to arrive at 10:00AM, she waited for me for 50 minutes. OOPS! I arrived at the house and unpacked. Right after I unpacked, we went to the bank and to the optician to fix my sunglasses.

We went home to have lunch and after lunch we went straight out to go see Florence and her new house. Mamy was there when we arrived. It was a very nice house except it was in the middle of being redecorated. The plans she had for the house are going to look great. After Florence's, we left, made an appointment at the hairdressers, and then went home. We all grabbed our money and left to go see a movie. The movie we chose was the new "Wanted" movie with Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman. It was a really good movie.

After the movie, we left to go home and had dinner. At dinner there was Christophe, Caroline, Rose, Gab, Sabestian (Christophe's nephew) and me. We had crepes with egg, cheese, and ham. It was delicious. Now Rose, Gab, and I are watching "Amelie" which is actually a good movie.

Good movie?!!! Ahem. "Amelie" is actually one of the best movies EVER made!

I am glad that you are enjoying it.

You should have the family take you to the new movie about people from Le Nord. It was a huge hit in France this year. Something about the Ch'ti. They will know what I am talking about.

So, did your glasses break when Zizou gave you a little headbutt?
