Yup. That would be me:)
In case you didn't read my last few posts (it's okay, you can read them now) I went to France for four days with my class from school. I don't completely understand it, and I don't want to tell you anything that's not completely true, but it was for something called "Projektwoche" [prah-yekt-vock-ah]. In English this would directly translate into "Project Week," and basically what it is is a chance to get to know all of the other students in your class. I guess I should mention that in Switzerland you have the same 20 or so kids in your class from grade 10 until you graduate... so it's pretty important that you get along!
Anyways, the class teacher (like homeroom teacher kind of) chooses where you go and what you do, and most people go for day trips hiking, or maybe stay in a house together somewhere and look at museams and stuff... but my class canoed down La Loue in France, around the town Ornans. It was mega-wunderschön (really super duper beautiful!) We camped, ate a lot of bread, canoed pretty much down water falls, and spent most of our energy trying to get every one else as wet as physically possible. Luckily we had wet suits on because everyone spent A LOT of time in the water after getting flipped over (usually by the teacher :P)
My class getting ready to go- please note that the guys all have bigger bags than the girls!
Our path
We arrived in France on Monday at about lunch time, set up our tents, and canoed 11km, then on Tuesday we canoed 16km and then looked around the town, Wednesday we canoed 20km and played werewolf until no one could keep their eyes open anymore, and Thursday we canoed 14km before packing up our things and heading home. It was a longgggg trip, but so much fun!! And it was such a great opportunity to really get to know all of the kids in my class :)
This is a game where you squirt whipped cream on your finger, and then fling it into your mouth from various distances and directions...... I kind of rocked at it.
This afternoon I'm going to go to Brig to visit one of my favourite Australians in the whole wide world, and then tomorrow I have to pack to go to Greece!
I'm sure when I come home I'll have oodles of pictures and stories to share :)
Bis später,
Tschüss! <3
