Me, Bordeaux and the crazy French lady!

So all has been going pretty well in Bordeaux. Still missing family and home yes, but i really do love it here. So much so i am thinking of choosing Bordeaux as my place to come for my studies when i need to come back to France. Whilst i know it would be good to explore another part of France i also know that i have friends here, i know the City and what's more i know that i actually like it!

I have also done a little thinking whilst out here and i think i would really like to teach English to French kids for real...not just this pretend stuff that we are doing at the moment but actualy be a proper English teacher out here in France. The only thing stopping me is being so far away from family and friends...but they can move right?!

The teaching is still going great, i love the College, the kids, the teachers, they are all lovely and all make an effort with me. I'm not going to lie and say the kids aren't a pain in the butt sometimes but hey, everyone has their off days right, i know i do! The Lycee has grown on me more, however i'm still finding it difficult to fit in there, the kids are nice but just don't feel as comfortable in the staff room as i do in College. However, there is one woman(25) who has taken to talking to me in English as she wants to improve etc, she is very forward and open and hits me a lot in a playful manner (though it actually hurts!!) but she is also really funny and brightens up my afternoons spent in the staff room. I have just recently learnt that the reason she wants to speak English better is so that she can watch Desperate Housewives in it's original form and 2 days before the French dubbed version is shown, what better reason to improve your language skills!

Went to see Twilight:New Moon this week too with Lisa, and yes we went to see it in French, which by the way i actually understood! go me...i thought it would totally ruin the experience but no...thankfully i was able to laugh when appropriate and cringe when required. And let's not forget, there was a suitable level of half Naked guys...done deal!

So this week coming should be eventful, got a birthday celebration coming up, which will end in tears i'm sure! Also Michael...my best friend(awww lol) is coming to Bordeaux for the weekend, he is in Avignon at the moment, i will make it there eventually. So will keep you informed of the week and how it progresses. Can't wait!!

Bises!
