I miss chicken...and sadly canadian school...

I figured it was about time for another up date. Sorry that there wasnt one last week but I was just way too tired. Another two weeks have passed and I haven't been doing much. I now know all three pomme d'orée in brest quite well (there are tea shops basically but a chain) and visit them (all three) quite regularly for a big cup of tea. Also in my desperate attempt to stay awake, I have succumbed to the lure of coffee, with lots of milk and sugar mind you, but coffee all the same. I have had to resort also to pinching my self regularly in class because the small bit of pain gives me a little more energy. Sad I know but true. The meals in the Cafe are getting no better...fish the other day (it was fish or this beefish squarelike block of meat) with smilies and vegetable mash (over-cooked carrots and brocolli) with canned pears for dessert. Marginally better than the fish nuggets and liquid potatoes (with chunks of unidentifyable orange and green mixed in) of last week. Umm in school I have been getting creative as well. They are studying the water cycle currently in science which is thrilling to say the least. When drawing the diagram I personalised it with stick people, very realistic fish, and an awesome sun (with the whole sunglasses thing going on and a smile). My inner artist emerged out of the shadows and enveloped my boredom kind of like the psuedopods of a white blood cell (yes my analagies are also quite great, I know...my english skills have flown out the window). It is harder for me to speak english than french these days which I discovered after talking to the other canadian girl here. It was like kindergarten talk...we describe our want for milk and the fact that we were reverse cows...yes reverse cows...we did not say we drank alot of milk but instead that we cows in the opposite direction and we laughed at that for a good 10 min (yes pathetic I know, but when you have had no humourous events that you have understood for days, anything seems funny). Charlottes mothers store has opened so she is quite busy with that. I have been trying to think of something that is typically Canadian, some kind of meal, but lack any ideas. I mean what is truely a Canadian dish besides timbits, maple syrup, and peameal bacon? and seeing as charlotte hated every type of canadian food what could i possibley make to wow her family? If anyone has ideas send me them because I am in desperate need. Also I have seen the circus here which was great, although it wasn't really to international for me because they were from montreal but oh well. I had some awesome crepes with sausage smoked in algue, potatoes, and cheese, and thats about it for now. Writing in english kills my brain!
