Billeting, take 3.

Hey folks,
So this morning Ben got up and went to church and I again took the pleasure in sleeping until 11am. I woke up and ate the amazing omlette which included cheese, tomato, zuchinni, and avacado he left me in the fridge, chilled out for a bit and then after moving furniture for a friend, he brought 4 of his 25-27 year old friends over and we all played President. It was rediculous fun, sitting around a table with a whole bunch of French guys all older than me, practicing their English on me, and still talking to me in French, slow enough that I could understand. Being typical guys, they brought a box of donuts and took bets on which one I was going to choose, and Ben won, claiming it was because he knew me the longest. :P They also took bets to guess where I was from according to my last name, and most popular were Germany and Austria. Aahaha. (:
It was actually a bunch of fun I was not expecting to have.
Afterwards most of them left except for one friend of his and we watched an old sailing movie in French together which was actually kinda funny, and then Ben cooked me Pesto pasta with olives, cheese and mushrooms, yum.
I chilled around again, awfully tired from a day of laziness, and falling in and out of sleep when all of a sudden a man I've never met walks into my room. I jump up thinking its my billet dad, introduce myself and turns out he was Ben's roomate, and I was in his room for the past 2 days. He also turns out is the English teacher for the Levis Katimavik group, and was there to take me to my real billet house.
We arrive and I met Carina and Tom, and I LOVE THEM! Right away I could tell I would as they had huge smiles one the entire time, are super young and super cute, wedding pictures everywhere. Their apartment is lovely, I'm closer to work, I have wireless internet and my room is gorgeous.

And although I dont trust Stephane a lot of the time, he really was right that I'd love it here. Tomorrow me and Carina are going grocery shopping together! Eeee! Yay I am so excited for the 7 days I get to spend here, I love it already!
Thanks for keeping updated!
Xoxox,
