Plage de la Pointe Rouge, Marseille
Marseille is heavenly. I'm actually tempted to ask my parents if I can transfer to Beauxbatons (it has to be somewhere in France, right? It sounds so French!) because it is so beautiful here! And I seriously love this language.
J'aime le temps chaud ici. Je pourrais mentir ici au soleil pour toujours. Je suis aux anges.
See, I'm getting better! All these summers in France are really paying off! Plus, Mum's always writing me letters in French and expecting me to reply in French.
I mean, okay, I guess it's kind of important that I'm able to talk to her family here, but if I didn't like the language so much, I would definitely be asking why my cousins can't just learn English.
So Lily wrote me a couple days ago. She was all, "I bet France is the best," and, "I miss you!" and, "Come home already!" and, "Je suis trés jaloux de toi," which is the completely wrong way to say that she's jealous in French, but I guess I can forgive her, seeing as she's so good at everything else.
Anyway, I'm not really sure what to write back. I don't want to be all, "I'm having the best time of my life!" because that'll make her sad, seeing as she's having to put up with bloody Petunia all summer, but I also don't want to lie and say I'm bored. Hmm.
I think I might wait a couple days before I write her back. That'll give me some more time to figure out what to write.
In other news, there are so many amazingly gorgeous guys here walking around without their shirts on. I know, I know, what's gotten into me? Am I all of the sudden interested in guys now? No!... well, maybe, but they're all so pretty! I'm allowed to just look! Besides, I've already finished all my summer homework and I've put together a study plan for this year, summarised all the information I know so far about every subject I'm taking and revised and corrected all the issues I was having (not many, to be honest). I also found out that I'm several weeks ahead of the curriculum (no wonder the exams were easy) and will be relearning material I've already covered for the first two months of the new school year.
All of that to say, I think I deserve to have a real summer for once! And that includes enjoying the cute French boys!

Lounge, Montredon Cottage #8, Marseille
Speaking of cute French boys, I just met one on the beach outside our cottage. I was just taking an afternoon swim and I sort of... well, I tripped over him and fell in the sand actually. It was kind of embarrassing, but I guess it turned out okay, because he invited me to a party they're having on the beach tonight. Now I just have to decide which bathing suit I'm going to wear. And then what will go over it, of course.
Oh my god, I'm turning into a real girl! Lily would be so proud!
