Hugues came and picked up Andrea, Michael, and me yesterday right after school. We ate lunch at his house, then Daniel (Mexico), Asaki (Japan), Andrea, and I rode with Hugues to Amiens. (Michael and Keny (Mexico) rode with Ingrid (counselor).) Once everyone else arrived after us at the school in Amiens, we all donned our jackets and braved the cold winds to discover the town. We mingled amongst the market-goers until around 5h30 when we headed back to the school where we had placed all our things.
The dumbest rule regarding the Repas Exotique is that we exchange students are not allowed to eat the food that we make. (We do, anyways! Still, that's not a very nice rule!) So, Andrea, Ardika (Indonesia), and I made nasty Crepe Monsieur sandwiches with American-style white bread, American-style gross individually-packaged square cheese, and ham that smelled like vomit to me.
We then got an introduction to our three new Australians! We already adore Maddie, Kathryn, and Tim, the Aussies! We also met some other exchangers from down-under because two other districts joined in our party and contributed food!
Yes, the buckeyes and meatloaf balls that we made were a great success! Some of the exchangies who came by our table to try our food did not have plates. I felt like I needed a hair net and apron, because I felt very lunch-lady-like blopping goops of fallen-apart meatballs into their hands! The deformed nastiness of it all did not hinder the enjoyment of it, though! An American who had never tried a buckeye before came up to our table and popped an entire one into his mouth. Jess (NY) shouted across the stand, "Duuude! You can't do that! That thing's like 100% peanut butter. You're going to die!" It was pretty funny.
Once we had finished serving, we were all sent to bed in the dorms at the school. We had almost no socializing time like last time. Nevertheless, I had fun sharing stories with Andrea while falling asleep at two!
