L'EPS Avec Chrissa- Un

Tout le monde, je déteste l’EPS! C’est très barbant. Vous ne comprennez pas! En France, l’EPS était mieux. Ici, les Américaines aiment beaucoup les abdominaux! Moi, je ne peux pas faire les abdominaux! Ils sont trop difficiles! Je veux pleurer!
Everyone, I hate gym class! It’s sooooooo boring. You do not understand! In France, PE was better! The Americans LOVE push-ups a lot! Me, well…I can’t do push-ups! They are too hard! I want to cry!
I’m really weak, just in case you were wondering. I have no upper body strength and according to Chrissa, I look like a Twizzler (because I'm skinny and I have red hair...)! Yeah, so we have push-up tests soon…if I fail, I get a B in gym class! Mon dieu, that can’t happen! I’ve only gotten straight A’s in America and I got all 18s in France…once, I even got a 19! I am a perfect student who is just super athletically challenged. I love fitness and I think it is super important-don’t get me wrong-but I work out by walking or riding my bike. So therefore, I do not need gym class.
OK SO GET THIS- all of the obnoxious people are in there. I’m talking Ava, Liz, Hayley, Kailey, Kirsten, Alyson, Alyssa, and CHRISSA. Chrissa, I swear, is dysfunctional. She is so exasperating…for example, she came into class dancing while she was singing “TiK ToK” by that Ke$ha person. (Really, I will never understand American music…except for Miley Cyrus!)

Chrissa then wanted to tell me a “secret”. This “secret” was merely nothing more than a “I am a dancer, so I can do perfect push-ups!” I don’t really care because push-ups don’t prove anything and I’m not sure if this is true in the US, but push-ups don’t get you to college…le bac does.

Ugh…another very eventful day in the life of Sabine Bouchard…I really would like for “Chri$$a” to calm down

I Hope You Find It...

I hope you find it
What you're looking for
I hope it's everything
You dreamed your life could be
And so much more...
-"I Hope You Find It" par Miley Cyrus

Oui, je suis hantée. C'est une très bonne chanson et je pense que elle se rapporte à ma vie.
Yes, I am obsessed. It's a VERY GOOD song and I think it relates to my life.
I'm actually considering singing it for the school talent show, which is coming up soon. I'm not sure if I should, though. It's between "I Hope You Find It", "When I Look At You" (both Miley Cyrus), or "Fifty Sixty" by Alizée. Alors, qu'est-ce que tu penses?

There is yet another party coming up this weekend...ugh...I'm so NOT excited. Pourquoi? I wasn't invited. :( It's some exclusive Edwards party, so I guess you have to meet their standards to be invited. The sad thing is, the girls who weren't invited are having a sleepover. A sleepover with Samantha, Josefina, Josefina, Kit, Molly, Addy, and Jess...fun. Just how I wanted to spend Friday night. Lilly and I are planning on sneaking in; there is no way that we want to be tortured by having a sleepover with that bunch....That is a recipe for a migraine...and I don't even get those; Sandrine (who is invited to that party) does!

I hate to say this, but this will probably be the party of the century and I've never really been formally invited to an American party before!

Here are some questions readers have asked me:
Q: What is your full name? Who's your bestest friend ever? -Mia from Montana
A: My full name is Sabine Amélie Bouchard. My bestest friend EVER would have to be Aurielle…she’s a friend back in Lille. I’m trying to talk her into coming to OLN.

Q: What is the number of girls at OLN that really (and I mean REALLY) annoy you? -Michaela from Pennsylvania
A: Mon dieu…too many to count…let’s see…Ava, Nellie K., Hayley, Liz, Nicki-Vicki, CHRISSA, Jess, my twin Sandrine…c’est neuf filles- that’s 9 girls.

Q: DO YOU LIKE WAFFLES?!? -Nellie Kathleen O’Malley from YOUR BUTT
A: YEAH I LIKE WAFFLES. (Scram, Nellie! Spam someone else’s blog with your mindless questions!)

Great questions! Keep them coming- CLICK HERE.
Also, while the main website is under construction, you can check out mine! (Désolée...it's in French...)

La surprise?

Oui, oui...in my previous post, I mentioned I had a surprise, non?
Well...this surprise came a week ago...Caitlin was just too busy to take pictures until today.
La surprise? NOUVEAUX VÊTEMENTS DE LIBERTY JANE! (New clothes from Liberty Jane!)
When I saw these itemes, I HAD to have them. They look like the things I'd wear. If you haven't ordered from LJ let, please make an effort to do so soon.The price may be higher...but it's worth it. Remember, these are hand-made outfits and you ARE paying for amazing quality. I can't say enough positive things! Oh, and to enable help you out, CLICK HERE to visit their website. Merci, Cinnamon, Libby, and the rest of the crew at LJC!
Now for some pictures: (Feel free to admit that Sandrine's hairdo resembles and ice cream cone.)

 

  

  

  

 

Oh...and if couldn't tell by looking at the pictures...Sandrine desperately wants to model for Liberty Jane. ("Well...I can take beautiful ad pictures! Tu es jalouse, Sabine, que tu n'es pas jolie comme moi!")
Yeah...we'll see, Sandrine...

Demandez Sabine! Q&A set #1

 You asked, I answered! Chouette! Keep the questions coming: CLICK HERE to ask me one. (You can ask me another question, even if you already asked one before.) I really enjoy doing this. :)
Oh...and there is a surprise in my next post...

Q: Where’s Lille? -Nellie from New York
A: North of France…near Belgium.

Q: Why did you move to America, you Frenchy? -Ava from North Carolina
A: First of all, I’m going to correct that statement by saying that I didn’t necessarily “move” here. I’m just here for school; that’s all. It’s a long story as to why I made a decision to come here, but to try and make that rather long story seem short, bullies are mean. Anyway, why do you care, Ava?!?!?

Q: Why doesn’t your twin look like you? ONLY THE BEST TWINS ARE IDENTICAL! -Nicki and Vicki Fleming from Colorado
A: Sandrine and I are FRATERNAL twins, which means that we don’t look alike. We have the same hair and skin color, but somehow, she got blessed with green eyes.

Q: Sabine, if you could travel to any 3 places in the world that you have never been to before at no cost and no hassle, where would you choose to go??? -Cali from Florida
A: Hmm…this is going to be a tough question…there are so many places I’d like to visit! I’m going to have to say Los Angeles because I love movies and music…and celebs! Another city would have to be Washington, D.C.; I’ve been to Paris, now I need to check out the capital of the US. Thirdly, I’d have to say Madrid, Spain; there’s just so much history there! Can I pick a fourth? ;)

Q: Sabine, do you like living with so many other girls with different personalities? -Michaela from Pennsylvania
A: Haha, well, sometimes. Most of the time, it can get extremely out of hand…especially if Ava is in that mix. I think it’s neat, though, to realize that everyone is different and has her own way of expressing her individuality.

Q: Hi Sabine! What is your favorite activity on a rainy day? Ashley from New York
A: I enjoy reading books and writing letters or emails to my family in France. I also like to watch movies and just hang out with my friends.

Q: Two questions: What is your hometown like? What advice do you have for someone learning a foreign language? -The Valdez Quints from Minnesota
A: My hometown, Lille, is a bustling city in the north of France. The weather is far from idea; it’s usually pretty cloudy and rainy. I just adore it when the sun comes out! There are many different sections of Lille, but my favorite part is Vieux Lille- Old Lille. The cobblestone streets are amazing. If you ever plan on visiting, be sure to check out the Palais des Beaux-Arts; it’s breathtaking! On to your second question…when it comes to learning a foreign language, DON’T GIVE UP! Keep on trying! Practice makes perfect; when I was learning English and German, I looked in a mirror while speaking. Before you do that, I suggest getting books and Cds that help you learn the basics of the language. Watching movies, YouTube videos, and listening to songs in that language helps you get the basic flow and pronunciations. Hope that helps!

Q: What is your favorite sport? Cate in Vancouver!!! (from Maine)
A: Hmm…I’m going to have to say FOOTBALL (soccer) is…hands-down! Allez, France!

Q: There’s this one girl in my class, Kylee Phillips, she has made fun of me since I got here last year. She’s cute and blonde and part of the 'cool crowd' at my school. Well the other day me and my BFF Lindsey Bergman were at our locker and she came up to me and said she was going to ruin my life. Should I report them to the principal or will it make me look like a tattletale? -Kit from Louisiana
A: Being the big wimp that I am, I would hide under my bed and sleep with one eye open…totally kidding! I would definitely make a trip to the office and inform the principal of what is going on. I have a similar story…one that I don’t feel like discussing…and the right thing to do was get the school involved. It can be hard, but muster up all your courage…you can do it! Good luck!

Mes Cheveux, Ava, et une nouvelle chose...

Bonjour…
I’m sorry for my lack of posting; since there have been snow days all this week and last, I should have written something at least every two days.
J'ai une nouvelle coiffure. Je l’adore! Tu l’aimes? Soyez honnête. Je ne veux pas regarder laide!  I have a new hairstyle; I love it! Do you? Be honest. I don’t want to look ugly!

Get ready for the latest Ava story. She, Liz, and Hayley decided that they would mess with the French even more by creating a person on a French dating website. Of course, they found this to be completely amusing and I saw them laughing so hard that they couldn’t breath. Ava had to tell me what they did, and she made me read what she put on the profile:
Hi !!! Mine is antoine and I are a French I like american because English is cool and I have no idea about what to say because I are French. I not like americans girls and I want to marry frenchie ! Im look for girls only if your americans stay back I only want purtty French girl ! I had 3 on the ACT and I, are really smart and have masters degree in psychology for Harvard. I more smartest then miley cyrus yet who isn’t ??? I go to concert so yet myself throw poopcorn at she ! I want like a French who make KFC for me and tacos and broccoli and peas. Does you would like to be my frend ? I will gives you love for a million days, but remember my English no very great !!! it’s a beautiful !!!  First I say that you have to be frenchy if not go ask Jacques Chirac to marry to not moi, after first I say you need be beauty if your not go back from me,  lastly you need be French I are French !
salut !?
Antoine LeSeffner
How stupid! I didn’t find that to be funny whatsoever. They need to stop poking fun at the French; it’s going to land them in some hot water. People are going to start assuming that they are racist; they won’t understand their sense of humor.
Nothing has been going on, which is partially why I haven’t post. BUT. I would like to start a weekly thing called Demandez Sabine (Ask Sabine). This enables you to ask me any question that you’d like. You could ask anything- from my favorite color to what my life in France was like. It’s pretty broad, so have fun with it. Remember to keep your questions appropriate. I will post all questions and answers on my blog at the end of the week. Sounds great? Amusez-vous!
CLICK HERE to start asking me your questions!
Due to popular demand, here is a photo of my brand-new bedroom:

Also, I got a small roll in this stop-motion video. I chose the song, so that makes up for my brief appearance.
Here is a still from it:

If something exciting happens, I’ll let you guys know. For now, have a great day!

Mon idée...sauver le monde!

Bonjour, mes amis! C'est moi, Sabine. Hier soir, j'ai eu un rêve que je suis devenue une actrice.Ce n'est pas importante parce que c'était seul un rêve.
Hello, my friends. It's me, Sabine. Last night, I had a dream that I became an actrice. That's not important because it was only a dream.
While it's great to dream of being an actress, I think I found my true calling.
JE VAIS SAUVER LE MONDE...I'm going to save the world! Come on...admit it. How many problems need fixed? A lot.
The first major problem that I'd like to fix is the number of lazy Americans. I've noticed a few at OLN and I'm sure that you may know a few who could possibly qualify as paresseux (lazy). The laziest American I know is undoubtedly Ava Seffner. Ava is constantly playing video games. She would die without the Xbox...je vous promets!

 I decided to do the "right thing". And by doing the right thing, I mean turning the Xbox off and taking away Call of Duty. (WHAT IS WITH THAT GAME, ANYWAY? I know of so many obsessed people! CE NE PAS DROLE!)

Yeah...so of course, Ava was furious and had to confront me. She basically told me off. Nobody needs to know what was said.

I decided to make a pact with Ava; if she wanted Call of Duty back, she would have to work for it.

There was no way she could work for it. AT ALL. Where was that effort? Um. It went down la toilette.

Everything worked out in Ava's favor, but that was OK. I probably made some sort of impact on her couch potato lifestyle. Little or small, I don't care. As long as I made a lasting impression...

 

Oh...and look what I got! If you haven't seen La Môme (or La Vie En Rose as the Americans call it), I suggest that you do. It is a terrific and inspiring movie. Marion Cotillard is one of the greatest actresses by far!

So...what trouble shall I encounter next? We shall see...

A bientot!

~Sabine

Bonne année!

Bonne année, mes amis! Je suis désolée que je n'ait pas écrit, mais je suis retournée maintenant. Le décembre 31 était très amusant. Voici des photos...
Happy New Year, my friends! I'm sorry that I haven't written, but I've now returned! December 31 (New Year's Eve) was VERY fun. Here are some photos...
Yeah, I wasn't expecting to go party crazy like the Edwards heiresses (they returned to Beverly Hills for some event...). Instead, I just planned on relaxing and reading the book, Le diable s'appelle Meri. It's a really good book; I highly recommend it. I'll get back to you on what the English version is called...because it's not called The Devil's Name is Meri.

I also talked to Christelle and Lilly...mes deux meilleures amies! (my two best friends)\

We were getting a little bored, which was bad because we wanted to pull an all-nighter. Mia came over and asked us if we "like, want to, like, play charades?" She then totally flipped when she saw the book I was reading. "It's, like, in a different language!" She declared to us. Oh, plus she was looking at it upside down...Americans at times......

 

We started our game of charades. I was on a team with Christelle and Lilly. Ava, Nellie, and Liz were on a team and Mia, Chirssa, and Sandrine were on another. Ava somehow got to go first. She pulled the card that said "Stupid Frenchy" and instead of acting it out, she POINTED TO SANDRINE!

 Of course, since Sandrine is so vain, she couldn't take it. It was funny to hear her insult Ava in French. My favorite Ava quote of the night? "I'm happy that you have the guts to insult me to my face, but please; let's hear it in English."

 

It was then Mia's turn...and (NO SHOCKER) she had no idea what to do. "I think I'm, like, supposed to be acting like a model?" THEN DO IT M|IA! ZUT ALORS!

Je t'aimerai toujours (I'll always love you) if you guess what Nellie is. Everyone got a good laugh out of this one....Nellie's so....weird?

Chrissa HHHHAAAAD to spoil the fun, as usual. She shouted, "IT'S MY TURN NEXT, SABS!!!" In case you didn't know this, MY NAME IS SABINE SO CALL ME SABINE. I, in no way, like or want to be called Sabs.

 

I then (politely, bien sûr!) kicked her out. I guess that was good because she went to hang out with the other dance team members.

Despite Chrissa and her boisterous antics and obnoxious alacrity, I had a FANTASTIC New Year's Eve! I hope to boot that with a TRÈS FABULEUX year!

JOYEUX NOEL! (et mon anniversaire...)

Bonjour, mes amies! Je voulais dire "joyeux noël"! J'ai reçu beaucoup d'argent. Je pense que je vais acheter des vêtements. 
Haha, I didn't forget a translation: Hello, my friends! I wanted to say Merry Christmas! I got a lot of money. I think I'm going to buy some clothes. What girl doesn't LOVEEEEE clothes? There are so many things from Liberty Jane that I want! Seriously, their clothes are the best. I have two of their tanks...totally recommend them! So, now you know what to do with your Christmas cash.
Anyway, here is what I wore this holiday. Mère sent it to me....Sandrine has the exact same one. Oui, I'm listening to my iPod. The song? La Montée by Lili Bouvard. (Listen to it sometime on youtube; you'll recognize the song.)

I forgot to make a blog entry for my birthday!!!! QUELLE DOMMAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My birthday was le 19 decembre, so I belated this entry a little bit. Let's just say that my party was horrific. I feel bad saying that because Lilly did her best to make it "special", but when everyone else goes to Sandrine's (Sandrine wouldn't let me have a party with her. *rolls eyes*) party and you're stuck with Nicki and Vicki....yeah...you know what I'm getting at....
But this is how things WENT DOWN:

 Of course, I asked my twin if I could have a party with her. You already know what happened. Shall not repeat. She was totally rude about it, but whatever. I couldn't expect her to be nice.

Christelle came, which was nice, but so did NICKI AND VICKI FLEMING. All they wanted to do was prank call people. Ava does that all the time....that means it's bad. ;) Nicki called a Mexican restaurant and was all like, "HOLA! DO YOU WANT SOME LLAMA BEANS TO GO WITH THAT TACO?" That was a Chrissa joke. (MON DIEU! I'M SO HAPPY SHE DIDN'T COME!!! She would totally be annoying! But what's new?) Then, Vicki called and pretended that she was going to have a baby on the 10th of NEVER. Um...they have been labeling themselves as the "BEST PRANK CALLERS EVER" but personally, I felt like they just wasted people's time. I'm surprised that no one hung up on them.

Nicki and Vicki sort-of convinced me that it was just "harmless fun", and I had to open my big mouth and say, "Yeah! It's not like we're going to order a pizza and have it delivered to someone else's house."
Um. Let's just say they convinced me to call a Mooresville, NC Pizza Hut and have a pizza delivered to John Seffner, Ava's dad....it was actually funny at first, but then I felt like I committed a major crime.

I then started to cry; my party was going terribly! All I wanted to do was listen to music, play some games (NOT prank call or ding dong ditch), and watch Hannah Montana: Le Film or La Vie En Rose! Lilly totally made this party (THAT SHE PLANNED FOR ME) hers and she didn't care if Nicki and Vicki took over!

GET THIS!!!! Nicki wanted to sit down, and I was too depressed to get up, so SHE SAT ON ME!!!!! Then, Lilly heard her favorite song playing at Sandrine's party, so she left! SHE DIDN'T RETURN, EITHER!!! J'etais tres fachee! She planned this and she left...what a bad friend!

That's when Nicki, Vicki, and I went over to Sandrine's party. Ava saw us and started flipping out; she told us that "some moron sent my dad three large STUPID flipping pizzas. That's when harmless prank calling turns wrong. When I find out who did it, that person better find a good hiding place!" Um...since I did it, I couldn't look at her. Instead, I turned around and died laughing. Ava was lost and she started screaming, "THERE'S NOTHING FUNNY 'BOUT IT!" Nicki and Vicki backed me up, though, saying it was drop dead hiiiiilarious.

Lilly and I may have gotten into a little heated argument, but hey, all friends have to fight/disagree sometime. It's part of being human. We're still best friends, and the more I thought about it, the more I thought that maybe I was being the negative one. She did something super nice for me, and all I could do was act like a brat and complain. And my party wasn't even that bad....after all....
Now...it's time to get revenge on the Flemings....
Well, that's all for now! Happy holidays!!!
~Sabine :)

ST. NICHOLAS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!
Je suis tres heureuse...c'est decembre! St. Nicholas Day is today!
Christelle and I celebrated by putting our shoes near the fireplace last night, but this morning, we woke up to a surprise.
AVA FILLED OUR SHOES WITH PEANUT BUTTER! OUI! PEANUT BUTTER!
How mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lilly said that she put candy in them, but I guess Ava stole the candy and replaced it with PEANUT BUTTER.
Ava's reasoning? "PEANUT BUTTER IS WHAT BAAAAAAD LITTLE FRENCHIES GET!!!"
Actually, you're supposed to get switches, but whatever, Ava.
I took a picture with Lilly, since she is my best friend:

Anyway, here is a picture of me by the tree:

I'll keep you guys updated; we're decorating the Wacky Shack today.
~Sabine

Party in France/Would You Be Interested?/Random blah blah blah....

I hope that nobody missed me too much, as that would be a shame. (I also want to confirm that I'm alive. I've heard that I was dead! QUOI? QUEL DOMMAGE! But I guess those kinds of rumors are quite common when you're famous!) I've been extremely busy lately. So...I bet you are wondering, what did I miss in Sabine Bouchard's VERY exciting life?
Well....
...NOTHING.
Seriously. Nothing.
Ok. I'm kidding. You missed stuff.
Who shall I start with first? Or what shall I start off with? Towards the end of the post is Ava's picture for CULTURE MONTH...you have to see it! Plus, AVA GOT A BLOG!!!!!!!!! CLICK HERE TO READ IT!!!!!!
FRENCHY PHOTO TIME!
I took a picture with my fellow OLN French girls--Christelle Lacaux and my sister Sandrine.


PARTY IN FRANCE!
You know how I love Miley Cyrus's song,
"Party in the USA"? I made my own CD

cover to the cover I wrote..."Party in

France"! I hope you like it. :)

SANDRINE.
MEILLEURES AMIES!?!?!?!?

This is just a picture. We don't really get along. ;)

Well, a few days ago, Sandrine got a migrane. She seriously went insane! I MEAN, LIKE CRAZY! First of all, she comes up to me and is like, "I FEEL SO SICK, SABINE! OH MY GOD, SWINE FLU! NO! SERIOUSLY! I THINK I HAVE IT!"

Pardonnez-moi while I gag. -reachesfortrashcan-

She DOES NOT HAVE THE SWINE FLU. And it is ridiculous that she though her stupid migrane was the swine flu. She took her temperature 5 times! (OUI I COUNTED!) The first time, it read 97 degrees. But Sandrine is sooooo stupid that she didn't realize it was 97 DEGREES FARENHEIT. She was screaming, "I DO HAVE SWINE FLU! IN YOUR FACE, SABINE! I AM ALMOST BOILING!" Um. Ava then rudely informed her that it wasn't 97 Celcius.

CHRISSALICIOUS TIME!

Sandrine also HATES CHRISSA....comme moi! POUVEZ-VOUS CROIRE CELA? So, Sandrine sent Chrissa all these text messages, like "I'm too cool to know you!" and "You'll never be French, you little wannabe!" Part of me was like screaming "MERCI BEAUCOUP, SANDRINE!" and the other part was like, "Pauvre Chrissa :( !" I think I agree with the "Merci, Sandrine" side because sometimes Chrissa is SOOOO IRRITATING, she makes me want to leave the United States! I sometimes wish that Chrissa was back home in Iowa and that a tornado came and carried her all the way to Antarctica! GET THIS! She calls herself "Chrissalicious" ALL THE TIME. It's almost as if I want to scream, "FERMEZ-LA. TOUT LE MONDE TE DETESTE." That's not true, though, because Marisol is like a Chrissa worshipper! Marisol needs to go back home to Chicago. After all, since Chicago is the windy city, there is a possibility of her getting blown away to Antarctica. =)

AVA!!!

C'ETAIT TROP DROLE!
Here is her C.M. photo:

NOTHING. BEATS THAT. =)

OK...so Lilly and I were waiting to get swine flu info. (So we could totally bust Sandrine and prove that she didn't have it!) Ava is like, the stereotypical American! She is so rude and impatient! She was furious with the long line, so she comes to the front and goes, "Hey. I'm not cuttin'; I'm just askin'." Then she went on about how ridiculous the line was and blah blah all that Ava stuff.

C'etait trop drole!

~Sabine

Changed layout....two problems...and a little note...

I changed my layout again...Sophie avait raison...there was not enough room for me to write!
Anyway...I have two slight problems:
1. My passport is totally MIA. Seriously...I have no idea what happened to it! J'ai peur!
2. Samantha. Not the goody-goody one, the actress wannabe. She won't let me protest the Wacky Shack (a dorm Taylor created...it was originally called the Sunshine Shack but since there are sleepovers and loud dance parties, Kailey and the rest of her crew affectionately renamed it.) with her. She says that since I'm not a US citizen, I don't have basic 1st Amendment rights. And yet, she is letting Christelle protest. How does that make sense? What should I do?

Anyway...a fun little thing...feel free to post it on your blog....
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
No, not that I know of...
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
I cried when I fell down the steps the other day...it really hurt, OK?
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Haha, no! People say it's very illegible. Yay for French cursive!
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
I'm not sure...ham if that counts.
5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
I'm 12. Does it look like I have kids? LOL!
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Oui oui! Bien sur! I'm so funny and personable, I think!

50. DO YOU LIKE ANSWERING 50 QUESTIONS?
I guess so.

New layout...plus some other stuff.

I had Nellie change my layout. Vous aimez? (You like?) I think it's pretty...yet totally confusing! Anyway, I got a Twitter, so if you have one, follow me! :) Click!
If you don't have a Twitter, get one. Also...I need to change the main language to French..but it won't let me. :( Ah. Stupid Twitter.
OK SO GUESS WHAT? I OFFICIALLY CAN'T STAND SPANISH CLASS! We have two new recruits- Sandrine and Ivy. Ew. Of course, you know that Sandrine has a snobby disposition, but Ivy is just so unfriendly and absolutely negative and ridiculous. It annoys me. THE GLASS IS NOT HALF EMPTY.
I don't like Spanish AT ALL! I miss my German class. :( German is cool.
Also, the Spanish class is divided into two sides...the good side, and the bad side. Kailey and Kaya sit on the good side because there wasn't enough room for them on the bad side. Obviously, they sit in the front for a reason. ;)

Oh, did I tell you that I, Sabine Bouchard, sit on the bad side? Tres chouette. Je sais...

You appear just like a dream...

We didn't crash the party. Pourquoi? Parce que Lilly etait stupide! Lilly said that we got the date wrong, so we burst into the Edwards' room a DAY EARLY.
Oui...they were furious!
Before I get on with the positive, here is another rather negative:
SANDRINE MADE DANCE TEAM.
Here is a picture of us. Sandrine (bien sur!) is modeling her dance team uniform.
The weird thing is...why did she make it? Yeah, she is a fabulous dancer....but the Edwards (who control the team) HATE her.
I have a feeling that this team will become INFESTED with drama. (Not like it wasn't already...but the drama will increase for sure...)
OOOOH! POSITIVE NOW! I GOT THE NEW MILEY CYRUS CD!
The sound is a little different, but it's still cool. My favorite songs on it are "Party in the USA", "The Time of Our Lives", "When I Look At You" (this entry title is a lyric from the song!), and "Talk is Cheap". I recommend it!

More party crashing + DANCE TEAM

I honestly think my best friend is losing it.
Honestly. I do.
She now has this obsession with the dance team...which is pretty much Alyson, her twin, their cousin, Marisol, Chrissa, and Malorie. All very OBNOXIOUS people.
Anyway...
LILLY IS DYING TO TRY OUT!
I'm like..."No. Lilly...no. If you try out and don't make it, you will feel the aftermath."
And you will. It's called "I-didn't-make-it-so-now-I'm-getting-picked-on syndrome." CROIS-MOI...c'est terrible! I remember when I applied for the Alyson Squadron...(long story. To make it short...I felt the LOSER BURN afterwords.)
The LOSER BURN is what Aly calls it when you try something and don't succeed...which is absolutely ridiculous and sooooooooooooooo her!
Well...after tryouts...Aly and Ashley are flying the whole team to the Waldorf Astoria in NYC to have a party. ISN'T THAT NICE?
Well...Liz, Lilly, and I decided to take the risk of crashing the party.
We're not sure how to sneak out of the boarding school yet...we must talk to Kailey, Kaya, and Kirsten who have achieved at this numerous times.
This shall be an adventure. Stay tuned.

Ma vie est mauvaise.

Just when I thought my life was great....
...it turns out....
...IT'S NOT!
Sandrine is absolutely annoying me. I honestly can't believe that she switched schools!
She has this new thing...called the "Elite Quatre". Amanda and Taylor (Taylor used to call herself Miley...which was really annoying because she is DEFINITELY not cool like the real Miley Cyrus!) are members of it. I can see that happening, since Amanda and Taylor think they are the coolest things since sliced bread.
Anyway, Sandrine went out of her way to ask them. I think Sandrine wants to start her own clique so she can beat Alyson. I DON'T PLAY THESE SICK POPULARITY GAMES, OK???
Amanda and Miley used to be members of the dance team...until Aly gave them the boot. I don't understand why they cared so much about getting kicked out. Amanda has figure skating (which she is MUCH better at than dancing) and Taylor has cheerleading (which I don't understand...stupid American sport). So now they are out to get revenge.
OH AND IT GETS MUCH WORSE!
CHRISTELLE IS A MEMBER OF THIS! She has been ignoring me ever since she got invited to be part of this group.
J'AI PEUR!!!!!!!!! What if Sandrine is using Christelle to get information from MOI?
Ugh. Ma vie...
~Sabine

Devrais-je?

That is the question- should I?
You are probably wondering about this question.
I want everyone's full, honest opinion on this:
SHOULD I GET MY EARS PIERCED?!?!?!?
My twin, Sandrine, already got hers done. Ugh. If I do decided to, she'll be all, "SABINE, YOU'RE COPYING ME! THAT'S SO IMMATURE!!!!"
So in all truth and honesty...should I get them pierced?

Merci! :)
~Sabine

WEBCAM!

YAY! NEW LAPTOP!
And it has a webcam! I'm so excited to use it! How about a webshow!?!?!? TRES CHOUETTE, A MON AVIS!!!

I call first use. No one steal!

A CASE OF THE TRES TRISTE MOI...

So...
I COULDN'T GO TO EUROPE! THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR ME!!!
Well, I would have soooooooooooooo made the room!
I saw the pictures...and will have those up on Tuesday, when we get the camera back.
Christelle and I also got tons of stuff...loads of finds in France.
I now share a room with Christelle...and we have this little table-like thingy. 2 EUROS! How fabulous is that?!?!?!
I'll post pics of the presents, too...the best part! :)

A tout a l'heure!
~Sabine :D

Au revoir!

DEVINE QUOI????????

Well...it all started like this...

Ava gave me a hug and said, "I would miss you, but I probably won't!"

I had no idea what she was talking about...


Then, Christelle approached me and said, "I wish that I were you...lucky!"

Pourquoi?


Nicki and Vicki then confronted me and said that they would like to trade places with me for a week. They also informed me that they were the "bestest travelers ever!"


I walked in my room and noticed a stack of clothes on the floor and on my bed. Hmmm..


Then, I found out what was going on. Sam, Chrissa, and Addy screamed, "HEY SABINE! YOU ARE GOING TO EUROPE FOR A WEEK...WITH CAITLIN!"


I was in complete and total shock...je ne peux pas le croire!

I'M GOING TO EUROPE FOR A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will take and post loads of pictures for sure! We leave tomorrow, by the way!

See you guys in a week!

~Sabine
