Coupe Icare written portion and MALADE

So, yesterday we went to this hang gliding type festival and hour and a bit away from home. It was Olivier Corentin and I because Sylvie was still in Paris... it was actually lots of fun... I believe we were watching (in figure skating terms) the exhibitons because the paraponters were dressed up in strange outfits like frogs or pirates or dinosaurs and stuff... I was really funny... and appeared to be quite dangerous because they vision appeared to be slightly obstructed by some of the costumes. ALso, along with those specialty acts they paraponted with a bald eagle and caught it while they were still in the air... it was really cool! We sat of the ground, there wasnt actually any grand stands or anything everyone, mostly earthy looking people were just sitting on the ground, we had hot dog pic nics! But anyways, yeah these men, and occasionally women just have these parachute things on the ground, and they run and lift them and then jump off a cliff and they fly! Its a little scary to watch, because sometimes things do go wrong and they have to be abruptly stopped by spotters before they go plummeting over the edge... olivier said that people die every year at this competition! Oh yes, and it was blazing hot! I actually sunburned my arms a little bit, but as we walked in the door, we were handed these pretty shoobie hats that say rhone alpes region, its a sponsoring bank but anyways i was sporting that hat throughout the day lol! i think you can see it in one of the pictures! But it was quite great and i definately had a great time.. also some of you would like to hear that I used the porta potty there and it was a turkish toilet!!! my first one of this tri^p... im getting better! Moving on to today Je suis malade... I challenge you to translate that! Just kidding Ill tell you... Im sick! I got up this morning, didnt feel too hot, just like man do I not want to get out of bed... but of course I did anyways, and by the time I got to school and ate my little snack thing at 10 I realised that my throat hurt really really bad! But I was like oh well Ill survive, so I spent the whole day at school my throat hurt and I would be hot, take off jacket, cold, put on jacket, like 4361560468401 times in math class! But its pretty ignorable for the rest of the day, I had PE i was a little spaced but helped my team win some volleyball matches then when I got home sylvie was home and I was like I THINK IM SICK.. so we went and looked and indeed it looks like it has been snowing on my tonsils!! Little white dots everywhere.. tell you what that means STREP THROAT!!! yay fun marrily! Actually its not that bad as im pretty perky right now after sylvie gave me some sort of meds and im been eating on these mint flavored losenges... actually i was just talking to hannah and she didnt even notice that i was ill today at school lol.. it was a good cover up... and i ate ravioli today for dinner and all my lunch, so cest pas grave right?? or at least thats what I say... syvlie doesnt know if its just short term virus or if it needs antibiotics so she said in the morning if i have a fever we go to doctor if not i go to school lol! oh yes and Im not fond of the thermometer here... She handed it too me, I was about to put it in my mouth and she says no wait stop its for your behind... yeah thats right... not a good experience... one minute with that thing up my ***! anywyas i survived the experience fever 101 like 38 celcius or something so im not sure how i feel about well just take the fever again in the morning... how about not??? cant you just feel my forehead??? Anyways, I am ill... so Im going to bed early tonight... i dont really feel bad, especially with the meds but Im realy tired today from having to push the limits at school like running laps in pe and stuff when i really was feeling bad then! It was so strange in pe i was red faced hot and sweaty but freezing cold... thats when i was like I NEED THE DOCTOR.. well see how it goes tomorrow... no worries, no alarms, im fine!!! :-) :-D or at least im fine enought to not need my temperature taken AHH RUN FOR YOUR LIVES ITS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
