Some choose to learn Flemish, which means they are in this class, which is easier for them because they focus more on learning Flemish)

Speaking of school, I finally got more pictures! They aren't very good, but I feel creepy taking pictures of it.

Here's my view on the way to Namur or to my school. 


I took this on the way to Namur to meet up with some the English speaking French Belgium AFS exchange students. That's a mouthful, but it was really just 5 Americans, one New Zealander, and two Canadians. On the bus, there was a really creepy poster of a man and every time I looked over I thought it was a real person staring at me! 



The highlight of this outing (one of them at least) was that I got a free beer! I ordered a pêcheresse, my favorite, and the guy came back with Kriek so I got that one for free! 

A very proud moment.


We celebrated two birthdays: Skyler (Pennsylvania) and Evan (Canada). It was a great time! I went home around 9 after three beers, a waffle, and a massive amount of fries. That's a very cliché Belgian day, which is a good thing! We also stopped by McDonalds (here's the American coming out in me) and I got a McFlurry. I'm kind of disappointed because not only is McDonalds ridiculously expensive, they don't have my favorite McFlurry flavor (oreo). Probably because Oreos aren't popular in Belgium.... anyway. They had speculoos but I got toblerone because I didn't know... I'm definitely going back and getting speculoos soon though. 

Anyway, here's the view from outside my window tonight. I'm getting very good at this blogging thing, this is from TONIGHT! 



Gotta go! I don't have school on Thursday or Friday so I'm going to try to do something this week. I'll update you soon!
