Musings of a French student through the years

Saturday, October 10, 2009

Yesterday was a very eventful day. Woke up early, sat and did admin stuff until noon. Ran to Place Jean Jaures for a sandwich/limonade for lunch with Krystal and then went back to finish the admin stuff in the afternoon. After the admin stuff I went with Fleurette (my admin lady) back to her office to call my school in Ballan to figure out when I'm supposed to be working on Monday. They, STILL, do not have my schedule done...but it looks like I'll be observing there Monday morning and teaching a class/some classes in the afternoon. I still don't know which of the 3 levels I'll be teaching or how many students, or, well, anything else. Fleurette said that they need to give me the schedule in the morning so I have time to prepare for the class. The one GOOD thing that she told me is that if I am not given the schedule with reasonable time to prepare then I don't have to teach in the afternoon. I guess........it's just still all up in the air (stressful!!!!!!)

I do know........however.........that I should take the train to get there. :)

I will then try to bum a ride from somebody home. :)

Friday night we had the Brits, the girl who loves twilight and her bf, Krystal, Diana, and 5 French guys over pour une petite fete. It was quite the success. We were supposed to go out..........but.........we played Kings........and then.......none of us went out. It was a great time. A great melange of French/English/Franglais. Good times were had by all.

Today, we are going grocery shopping...I will be sure to detail exactly what I buy after it happens.... I love grocery shopping...everything is so different and cool and amazing. I just want to try everything in that little store called "Simply Market". After shopping I believe Krystal is coming over and we are having a jam session, and later tonight the roomies and I are going to just chill and watch a movie. :)

Oh! And.... Krystal and I found this really cool little junk shop on the main street in Tours that has cheap.......well.......everything! Will most def. be buying curtains there when money allows.

It is also, official, that BMW did NOT pay me for my last week of work. I NEEEEEEEED that money... if only to get to my school and back. Angry emails will commence today.

It rained this morning...but now it looks nice outside. :)

Always,
Amanda
