Class and grass

Was not bad. We had class in Geneva in the morning and then three hours of French in Nyon. Today I learned a few verbs, the alphabet, and numbers. Francelina has been teaching me different animal names in French. Every morning she posts a different word on a post-it, next to my toothpaste (which is funny because I purchased Colgate for myself). I usually write back on the post-it with the word in French, Spanish and English. She also reviewed the alphabet and numbers with me after class. She says them in Spanish and I repeat them in French. In exchange, I help her with her English. I'm really digging the different languages that I'm practicing.

Haha speaking of Francelina (she gets more legit every day). I had suspected that she had smoked more than just cigarettes, today defiantly solidified my suspicions. I just got back from classes this afternoon, opened the door to my apartment, and caught a big whiff of bud. Additionally, the apartment was super hazy and the visibility is worse than an intense Ithacan fog. My host mom was blazed out of her mind. She quickly started spraying the apartment with febreeze. Not entirely sure how to tell her that it's okay and I doubt I'll learn how to in my French class, hmmm... Anyway, the cherry on top was her two full plates of dinner - which can only be explained by the munchies (as I was stuffed after one plate). More proof that my host parents are way cooler than me.
