As you may know, over the weekend I was at "les Jeux Franco"... which are basically an excuse for a ton of students (all the cool people! and me) to go to workshops, be completely crazy, and hang out with a ton of students from all over the province! In order to explain my experience, I thought I'd use... statistics? (Math is totally important in my life okay.)
As we arrived...
Number of people attending: about 650
(thumbs up for speaking French!)
Number of hours I spent in misery (aka on the bus): 2 1/2 (okay so I complain a lot. Basically the sole reason I'm happy my mother works at my school is because it means I can just get a ride from her...)
During the weekend...
Number of lines I waited in: 15 (no exaggeration. There were A LOT of lines.)
Number of super awkward conversations I had with people I had just met: 7 (considering I was there for 3 1/2 days, I consider this a low number and am accordingly proud)
Number of Doctor Who fans I discovered: 5 (I found my people! Also, looking at my Facebook wall, I realised that almost everything there has to do with it. I am not subtle about my obsessions.)
Number of times I drank tea: 0 (do you know how deprived I was?)
(however, since I'd made a friend from the town, I did get an Ice Capp during the final show... a good reason to be social!)
Number of times I heard, "What? You're graduating? I thought you were in grade nine!": 12 (thanks world, love you too)
Number of times I fell over while practicing our dance routine (yes, I was in dance, don't laugh): 4 (thankfully none of these were during our big finale!)
(we won for best team spirit! we also didn't really have time to do makeup, so excuse the football stripes)
As we were leaving..
Percentage of people who were crying: 50 (not me)
Number of random people I didn't know who hugged me: 5 (and no, this is not just people-I-did-not-recognise, these were literally people who I had never seen before...)
Number of times a bus other than mine was called and I freaked out because I thought it was mine and they had left without me: 8 (there were a lot of buses)
And finally:
Number of times I laughed, made friends, and generally had fun: too many to count!
