It's almost May...WHAT?

The month of April has literally flown by! Part of it due to the fact that my week long April vacation turned into two weeks because of the volcano in Iceland. Being stranded in Stirling Scotland was far from a hardship though. I was really blessed to have been stranded with my friend and her family. I had an amazing time; relaxing, watching movies, playing bingo etcetera.

Then....back to real life. I made it back to France a week later than intended. I spent the weekend in Paris, got a sunburn, ate some great food, went to the Musee D'Orsay and the Tuileries and then finally made it back to Grenoble.

Grenoble is having a stretch of amazingly gorgeous hot weather! 23-26 degrees celsius all week! I finally had a reason to buy a swim suit and give the family pool a go! It was actually amazing. Having a pool in the yard is incredible and I think I am going to go again since it is going to be hot today as well. I suppose since this ismy blog I can say it. My extremely hot French host brother is home for the week! Yay!

Exams are in one week...eeeeek! I lost a week to my extended vacation and came back for a week and a half of school before the exams. I am terrified! I think it will go well because on the practice exams I passed without studying....so if I study really hard I should be able to pass the real ones. I think thats a pretty good theory to go with. It however doesn't stop the butterflies in my stomach!

Also! I have started running, technically I've only gone twice but that counts as starting. The whole time I am running I am hating life. I am cussing myself out...complaining about my feet hurting, my legs hurting...reminding myself that I hate to sweat...that I can't breathe. This may make people wonder why I go again. Hell, I wonder why I go again. But after I finish running I am always in a great mood. I feel accomplished, mostly because I just finished something I detest, and I feel like I have a great start to the day. Hence the reason I am going to try to keep doing it. My legs were so sore after the first run. A huge sign of how out of shape I am but also that I am accomplishing something. So here's to hoping!

That's all for now xxx
