So I guess that there's issues with the photo/background. I'll fix it when I get a chance.
Nothing really new, I'm in the middle of exams, which suck, because even if I pass them all, I don't get a diplôma. Jerks!
I hung out with Bailey yesterday in Brussels, and we were laying down in the Grande Place (uhm...a big open area, in the middle of the city), cause her feet hurt, because she just got a tatoo on her left foot like 20 minutes earlier, and the aisian tourists would NOT stop taking photos of us! It was crazyyyyyy!

Ahh, it's started! Noooo
So, personally, I don't leave for 2 months, and 1 day (Right, August 8th, Calgary International 11.11pm everybody!). But I spent the first half of this week crying my eyes out, because I had to say an unexpected goodbye to a very good friend, and goodbye to one of my best friends.Monday night I was talking to my Scottish friend Nikki who was supposed to be the only person who left after me, and all of a sudden, she was like 'I need to say goodbye, I'm leaving tomorrow.' I guess...sunday something went wrong with her host family, she wouldn't talk about it though, so I don't know what it was, but she decided to leave. Since she lives so close, she got a flight for Tuesday morning home. I skipped school and went to the airport with her. Her host family didn't even go with her, her conseller dropped her off, then left. She was all alone when I got there. Eventually 2 of our other friends came too. But since she took a smaller airline she could only have 20kg. Sooo, when she was like...15kg over the limit, we went through her suitcases, and she took out a bunch of clothes, gave us whatever she thought would fit us, and she THREW the rest away. We threw her clothes in the garbage.
At the last minute she kept saying she didn't want to leave. It was so sad!
Then yesterday one of my best friends, Natalie went home as well. I knew she was going home this early though. Her paretns wanted her to go to her graduation. So, I went back to the airport, 2 of her host families were there, and a bunch of other exchagers. It was...so hard. Ah! I'm going to start crying again just thinking about it!!!!!!!
Other than that, exams started today. But I only have 5 exams, which start next week, and since I didnt go to school tuesday or wednesday, ha ha, it's a 6 day weekend!
Oh, and Kristin sent me photos of the storm the other day in Calgary! OMG!! I couldn't believe it!!!!!!!! It hasn't even rained that much here!! lmao!
Byeeeeeeeee!
