Les Vacances

Vacation!! Its finally here. Today i got off for a 10 day vacation which is much needed, lately i have been more moodier and frustrated with my speaking abilities. But i think the more i understand the more i want to be able to add to the conversation. Which is good, i think thats the only way i will learn.

But i am really looking forward to this vacation because 10 days of relaxing around the house and spending time with my friends and family sounds perfect and the France i dreamed of. I always feel at home now in this cozy apartment.

Which reminds me i have not yet describe my family or the home i live in. First off i have to say they have a beautiful piano which is perfectly tuned and sits in the dining room. I have spent many hours playing away on a relaxing sunday afternoon. The house its self is above a doctors office and the first floor of the apartment is everything the kitchen, the TV, the dining room, the piano and everyones room, but mine. The second floor up, which is like the attic is an office, my room, a storage room, and a ironing room. I have to say i think i have done quite well not hiding up there to often, but when i need my space i am fortunate for the little hide out with its own heater.

My family on the other hand is very difficult to describe i mean im still figuring out there routine and moods. But through observing and all the time spent at home i have come to learn two things: i live with them and there will be times i make mistakes and also there are awkward moments. Both i have come to accept and move on and laugh at.

So this life at the moment. Halloween is around the corner and im very happy to share my traditions with my friends and family here. So until my next post i hope everyone is well and happy.
