Yesterday at school we had a Christmas celebration. All this means is that I was allowed to skip Economy to listen to a preacher talk for thirty minutes and sing-along with teachers crooning Christmas carols that I had never heard before. I would call that time well spent!
For the last class of the day, Mme. DeGroote returned! She has been ill and absent from school for the past three weeks. We have all been so worried for her. It was good to see her face again. She looked almost 100%, so we invited her to come to our class dinner that night. She replied that she would make a short appearance with her three children.
So, I went home after that with Somaya. An hour and a few inches of snow later, we got back in the car and began the treacherous fifteen km drive. It had rained the day before, so the roads were so incredibly slick. We ran off of the road at least five times driving back to Lens. After about fifteen minutes into the car ride, Somaya received a text from Pauline, who had organized the dinner, reading that it was canceled due to the dangerous driving conditions. We decided that we did not want our teacher to show up to an empty restaurant, so we went anyway.
There were five of us in total: Camille, Maximilien, Romane, Somaya, and me. Despite the lack of a crowd, we still had a great time! After dinner we screeched along to karaoke music.
