So first we had to go to school, of course, but it was a good day for that. First off they don't have substitutes what so ever so whenever a teacher cannot make it to class the students just have a free period. Yeah I know that is awesome! So Clara's SVT (biology) teacher was not going to be there which is her two hour class after lunch meaning we were already going to have a half day. When we got to school for her economy class at eight we found out that the teacher had to do something for grading for the BAC (their big final test kind of like the SAT but a lot different) so we had no class in the morning. Clara and I simply chilled at school for two hours watching TV and talking with other students until her debate class from 10-12. So long story short, we only had one two hour class on Friday!!!!!
After school Clara, her friends and I went shopping in downtown Montauban. The shops were bigger than I expected. Here are some pics of the shopping area.

| Here you can see the shops are below and the apartments are right above them. Very different. |

| This is the town square where there are a lot of cafes and seating. |
After we finished shopping we met up with Clara's boyfriend, Valentin, and went to the pool. The pool was so so so nice. There were three pools total; one outside and two inside. There was also a hot tub and indoor and outdoor slides. We had a blast there!

| All of us at the pool. You know we had to take a selfie haha! |

Yes, I know. Clara's two best friends from school literally have almost the same name as her. It is very difficult for me to keep straight too.
After the pool we went to the library to chill until her mom picked us up around 6. I took a little 15 minute power nap because the pool had drained all my energy.
When her mom showed up is when things got sad...
Her two best friends, Claire and Clarisse, are leaving this weekend to go to Spain for a week with other kids from their school. This means that is was the last day I would get to see them before I leave. I have gotten very close with them and cried when we had to say goodbye. Before we left you know we had to take some selfies and group pics outside the library.

| They bought me gummies before I left so we took a picture holding them. |
 |
| Then we ate them haha |
 |
| Just a candid with some of the coolest people in France. I am gonna miss them so much!! |
 |
| Okay now for a good normal pic with them. It was tough saying goodbye!! |
After that we went home and I got to meet Clara's brother, Alex, who is a student in Spain and just got home. We played ping pong for a little with him and his friends before eating some pizza. The pizza was very good here, but I have to say American pizza from Marco's is a little better haha!
Finally; her mom, Clara, Valentin, and I went to the movies to see Divergent 2: Insurgent. It was all in French so I didn't understand all of it but I got the main points. I honestly spent most of the time staring at the actors lips to see how easy it was to tell they were actually speaking english. I have to say it was hidden quite well.
Anyway, it was an awesome and fun first full Friday with my French family. Looking forward to the weekend!!
