Where has all the time gone!?! 

I used to write all the time, updating ya'll on my amazing life here in Belgium, but it seems every time I start writing a new blog, I just end up getting sidetracked (thanks 9gag.com...) or just get frustrated at all the spelling mistakes due to the fact that my French is finally starting to come, which makes my English awful most of the time. But I am totally committed to finishing this blog and updating ya'll on everything there is to know! But first I have a question. Since when is the word 'everytime' not a proper word!?!
Ok, time to just jump into this! First lets start with Carnival! :)
Carnival in Belgium is nothing like the weekend adventure that comes to Rupert once a year, with it's 'quote' cool and awesome rides. No, no, no  it's a week long break from school, with parades, confetti, and men dressed up in funny costumes with even funnier hats! My carnival unfortunately did not include this...Wait unfortunately isn't the write word to be using here! I spent my carnival like this-->

Friday Night--> American Party for my friend's Birthday! :)

Saturday--> Sleep/ Movies with Tasha! :)
Sunday-->More Sleep(cause you can NEVER have enough!:))/Sleepover at Cat's
Monday-->AMSTERDAM!!!!!with Cat and her host parents!:)
Tuesday-->MORE AMSTERDAM!!!!!!!:)

Wednesday-->Brussels with Morgan and her American family

Thursday-->Maastricht with my host family! :) <3.

Friday-->Zeeland(the North Sea in Holland) with my Rotary person and her daughters! :)

Saturday-->Host brothers soccer games/Sleepover with my Brazilian friend Marina!:) <3

Sunday-->SLEEP!!!!!! :)
Crazily busy week, but so much fun! I don't think I've ever been so tired or so happy that I had absolutely nothing I had to do on Sunday then I was that week!

Next adventure was a weekish of hanging out, trying to be Belgian(<--which is a billion times harder then it looks!), a couple birthdays/sleepovers, my ever so needed french lessons and even a crazy night of salsa dancing with Latinos! :) And finally the much anticipated visit from my amazing and oh so lovely sister Ally!
Yup that right, she made it, without the 'Bradbury family flying curse' getting in the way! :) What actually happened is, she was in Paris with her university program on a field school type thinger, and just happened to have to come to Belgium to check out the world famous, and honestly best in the world chocolate world here in Brussels and then had a weekend of free time after, donc elle reste en Belgique avec moi! :) We had a great weekend together, with a night out meeting my exchange student friends, lots of laughs with my host family, and a trip to Bruges and the North Sea! :) Thanks love for coming it was so great to see you and I love you so much! <3

Me and a couple exchange students celebrated a not so celebrated holiday by Belgians in Brussels, crowed with Irish people straight from Ireland! :) So much green and so many cool accents!!! And last week was wall about trying new sports. Played tennis with my host family on Sunday, and squash and a self-defense class for 'Sports Day' with school on Monday... I now know why I play hockey and not games with racquets and balls!

Today I had a super cool adventure. Well actually it started yesterday with a 2 and a half hour train journey from Genval to another town in the south-eastern part of Belgium called Verviers, a bus ride and coming to the conclusion that as soon as you get out of a city, the rest of Belgium smells like COW! adventure to Morgan's(american from seattle, who is also canadian and i love very much!) for a sleepover. BLT's which tasted like heaven after not having bacon for 7 months, 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' and a mess of her bedroom after trying to figure out a last minute outfit for her to wear today, was the perfect night before our big Rotary day today.
Not only did I get to see all my Canadians, hang out with super cool exchange students for hours today, play with those annoying clappers that we have for hockey games, and wear heels all day, but I also got to meet the International President of Rotary aka the most important person in all of Rotary in the entire world! :) It was a huge honor, and he seemed really nice. Best part was that after he left we got to go watch 'The Hunger Games' payed for by Rotary, in English! :) (hehe).

Today was the first day of my Rotary weekend. Saturday is the District Conference in Antwerp which means, more singing for Rotarians... more blazer wearing (which is super heavy now and dangerous to wear!!!), and more exchange memories! :) Oh and I think it might even include a boat ride...? and Sunday is a ROTEX activity at the Adventure Park in Wavre. Tree climbing, wooden bridges and more dangerous fun with exchange students! :)

This next week is going to be crazy! Monday and Thursday I have a oral presentation for my Social Science class, Tuesday and Thursday I have french lessons, Wednesday I have to pack for both Italy and for when I am staying at my host uncle's(because my host family is going to the States to visit there daughter before I go to Italy and get back after I get home from Italy), Saturday is going to be spend doing all the last minute errands I need to do, and Sunday I leave for ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) 

Kay, well this will have to do for now, as it's 11:24pm and I have school tomorrow and have not gotten anything ready for it yet.. Good night everyone, or maybe good morning depending on the time change. Love you all! and make sure you have JULY 8TH marked on your calendars! :)

ps. we change our clocks forward on satuday night so then the time change will be 9 hours ago not just 8.
