Thanksgiving Day!

      Well, let me start out of saying: Happy Thanksgiving!! I am thankful to be here in France. Alright, now that the obligatory Thanksgiving post is out of the way, let's get down to business.
     Wednesday was normal. I had climbing--which was awesome! Thursday. That's today. Hm, Thursday. Overall? Today was alright. I woke up and went to school were I'm pretty sure I failed a grammar exam. That's a bummer. But, I honestly can say I studied by butt off for that thing so I couldn't have done anything more--ce qui passe, passe (what happens, happens).  
     More importantly? Do you, dear reader--however few there are of you--see these glorious pictures of cake? An older lady from the church I go to in Chambery made that for me! I went to her house today and she gave me cake. Win! Let's see . . . after that? Oh yeah, I ate a bunch of ice-cream with that cake because it's Thanksgiving and I'm

thankful for desserts. Then, as per usual on Thursday, I had Judo. But for some reason, maybe it was because I hadn't seen my friends in that class for awhile, I was just super psyched to see them! And, it felt great to grapple again. I have my bruises back on my body and I can proudly say I have earned these mat burns and bruises. Why? Because I gave my all in Judo today. I even fought with two guys and I WON. Disclaimer to my parents: I know that this is not very feminine but I'll do my hair nice tomorrow to make up for it. And? It felt awesome to win against those guys. I felt myself sweating and I knew that I would win that match because I had failed my grammar test and I wasn't going to lose this, too. Anyway, I needed to work off that cake and ice cream. 
     Well, that's it for today. It doesn't seem like I did I lot today but I promise I've been running around all day. I hope everyone had a lovely Jour De Grace (Thanksgiving). What's more, I hope you all ate to your hearts--and stomachs--content! Vous me manquez et bonne nuit!
