"Geek" Day

My school organises random theme days for the seniors and I just happened to not know about this one, so it was quite a shock when I got to school.

It was a Thursday, so I started my morning at my other french school like always. After enjoying lunch and sitting by the fountain in the most perfect weather, we went back to class to discover geek day. When I arrived at school I saw my mexican and he was all dressed geek-like, so of course I asked him why he didn't tell me. He told me he didn't know, and I was like, oh really? haha. Cause it sure looked like he knew. Then he's like yelling, and I'm like shh... and we accuse him of being drunk, which I later found out was true. lol. My spanish-speakers, I love you. You can be crazy sometimes, but I love you. :)

Then! ,  I went to math class where of course the teacher accuses everyone of being late, like normal, and so we go sit down, like normal, and things go on. About a minute later, one of my belgians, walks in all dressed in geek, complete with tape recorder and toy microphone from toy story. My teacher decides this in unacceptable, and yells at him about something I don't remember. The teacher puts the toy outside the door, then decides this is not good enough, so he then throws it in the trash can. Then he sees the window, and figures this is a great idea. So, he threw the toy microphone out the second-story window, and then proceeded to kick my belgian out of class, at which time another belgian was walking up to enter class, and he told her not to in a very angry voice. So she ran away and down the stairs with the first belgian. My belgians, I love you. Math teachers can be crazy sometimes, but I love you. :)

That is the story of geek day. I want to know when the next theme day is, and someone better tell me about it so I can dress up too!

The Great European Chocolate Exchange

So, there is in fact a great european chocolate exchange and if you did not know about it, then well... it's time to know!

My friend Andrea and I both decided that since we live in the chocolate capitals of europe, we should have a chocolate exchange, or battle rather. This battle began not too long ago in a simple facebook chat conversation. We discovered that we both have chocolate factories in our towns, which not only makes us feel like we live in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", but also keeps us in constant supply of pure deliciousness. We decided that we should both send specimens of this world famous chocolate to each other via mail, teleportation won't be invented until 2047, and this shall decide the winner of this chocolate battle.

I first received a package from Miss Andrea in Switzerland a couple weeks ago containing the finest chocolate of switzerland. I must admit, upon tasting this chocolaty delight, I discovered it was most satisfactory. I was quite pleased to discover the subtle, but definable taste of caramel deliciousness, overlaid with a smooth coco-y flavouring. Dare I say it, it was just as palatable as belgian chocolate. While belgium might be the better country, the chocolate is a draw. This battle is one for the ages. It may be a stalemate for years and years to come, but one day  a winner will be declared, and I will be there, chocolate in hand.

In retaliation to the swiss chocolate invasion, I sent Andrea a package, which you can see on her blog.
