If you like me, then say you like me. Mix up.

Havent been here for a while now, so I thought i'd make a return. So, an update on la vie en France. J'aime bien. I now to go Zumba classes which I REALLY love! Every Saturday. I went last week with one of the teachers from Les Gachots. This week I went on my own (on my bike ofcourse) to discover she wasn't actually there.. But I was talking to this other lady who seemed nice and was asking me about everything I was doing here. We dance to lots of different songs. My fave is the salsa pink pantha song - look it up. Its pretty groovy.

I have recently discovered some new songs. We the kings- If you like me, then say you like me. (And others but this is my prefered song en ce moment).  Wouldnt change a thing - Camp Rock 2. Yes im 21...

Next Saturday (27th of Januray I think) im off to the pantomine! Beauty and The Beast! Looking forward to that. Going with one of Dianes friends daughter, Kaylee.

A couple of weeks ago I was told I was given an extra month in France! I finish on the 31st of mai. Im so happy =D Not sure some people are happy with the decision, but I know I am. I know im being selfish.

Tomorrow is Sunday. Im thinking of going for another run! Im doing all this fitness stuff and still eating mass chocolate... Its bad I know, but I can't help it! I went for a run the other day and I literally killed myself! My whole body was aching. I went on a half hour run, non stop! And usually, for me I run for a while and then walk and then run, but I wanted to keep on going! Im just too keen! wikiwiki.

Went for a tapas meal the other day with the other assistantes. One girl is Spanish so I was thinking of asking her if she wanted to meet up and help me speak spanish and I help her with her english! Hopefully that can happen! But as she was Spanish, it was really good as we were alll talking French to eachother, even when we weren't talking to her,we were talking in French! It was so good! :) 

I guess I best get back to doing some work now. I really dont want to. I might just keep listening to songs and pretend to be working. Humf. One day my dissertation WILL be complete. Only another few million words to go..

PS reasoning for title - Fave song, but mix up of my recent few weeks ici en France apres les vacanes de noel. 

Children are clearly all horses.

A teacher in Jules Ferry keeps clicking her tongue like you would do to get a horses attention. Its annoying.
This post is going to be short as I'm not well.
I hope you enjoyed it.
I doubt anyone is reading it anyway.
The end.
10 days till home. EEK! ;D

Please leave your message after the tone.

Monday. A day I really do dis like. Not because its Monday and all its sterotypical-ness, but because I have to teach in a school I dont like. However, the train service from here to where my school is, often has a week or 2 of repairs. It started today. I arrived at the station at 12 o'clock. The next train was at 17h10. I finnish teaching at 4o'clock. I missed the bus. I was stranded. Now me being me, I panic. Not as much as I would usually. I rang Nathalie to tell her I couldnt get there. She said "ring the school directly and let them know". So, I did as I was told, and rang the school. It was busy, so I waited a min and rang again. I then listen to a "hello, its Fabienne here, please leave your message after the tone." So I did. I told her that I wouldnt be able to get to the school.

So instead of going to school today. I began to start my dissertation. When I say began, I looked in the ASOS sale for a dress for a party in December. And then I decided to tell the world of my day so far. So, nothing of the disssertation has been completed as of yet... or started for that matter. I have a proposal! So I just gotta move my bum and get into gear. I guess this is where I say ciao! And hope that the head of the school doesnt hate me even more than she does already... Anyway, no my fault.

Bisous.

Its like home from home!

Now, where I live in Toulouse is a VERY small place. The town isnt really a town. Id call it 'a place with a tabac, a hairdressers, a TINY bar, a pizza place and an estate agents". Anyway, recently the tabac has changed hands! (Apparently the old geeza there wasn't very nice at all) so now a lady and a man run it. Ive been in once to get some credit and a postcard for my little susie. Anyway, I digress (as usual). I was sat with Diane and Steve the other night watching the news, and I heard a helicopter. Now thats not unusual for here as I live near an airport, so I hear airplanes often enough, so I thought nothing of it. The next day at work (yesterday (Tuesday) at Jules Ferry) the teachers were saying "did you hear about what happened at Brax last night?! And everyone said no? So then they explained that there were LOADS of police with guns etc and they had blocked off the centre (or as its knows to me the "place with a tabac, a hairdressers, a TINY bar, a pizza place and an estate agents").( I FORGOT THE PHARMACIE) So as soon as I got in, I said to Diane, have you heard what happened? And she said no whats gone on! But I didnt know.... neither did the teachers! Well today Diane had a hair appointment in the centre of Brax! And hairdressers seem to know EVERYTHING and this one told Diane what happened! Apparently the man who runs the tabac now was help up at gun point for the money in the till. They fired a shot, but didnt shoot at him or anything. They took the monkey and got off with it. Then the police came and surrounded the area with their guns and their helicop! It sounds like and episode of Road Wars! I hope theyve made a new series of road wars for when I return. I miss a good ep of road wars... im sad I know. So yes! Its like home from home! So if im home alone now, im going to lock the door! I dont want to be put up at gun pount for my possesions!

I suppose I could have made the story shorter by saying what had happened, but I like to tell a good story.
The end.
Fin.

There's always one..

So at rainbows tonight, I can tell one little girl doesnt like me. Everytime I asked her to do something, she'd say "can I ask Pam?" I said "yeah sure!" I asked her if she wanted to take her bit of artwork home with her. She said "Can I ask Pam?" Kids eh. Who'd work with 'em.

Rant over..

Me and Poppy the cat.

My trip to Lourdes on the 12th November 2011!

Yesterday I went to Lourdes with Diane! We left at half 8 and at half 11 we got there! First of all we dropped Steve off at his starting point so he could go for his bike ride! Then me and diane went off to Lourdes! It was AMAZING. The church was just, wow! Its amazing to see how many people put their heart and sole into a religion.  The place where the vision of the virgin Mary was seen is some sort of a cave bit. Its not a cave cave but its been dug out a little, and people walk around this oval shap cave touching the stone all the way around. Apparently is was something to do with love? Im not too sure, but it was interesting!
After the Church, we went to "Le Chateau Fort de Lourdes". That was pretty cool! Its a big castle on top of a hill! We had a quick look round there and went off to pick steve up form his long bike ride through the mountains!
There was so much tack being sold in the shops! they even had a jesus with a halo but the halo was decorated with fairy lights. Diane said I should have got one! I stuck with just buying a postcard to remind me of the day!
To top the day off nicely, we went out for a pizza! OH and in the morning, Diane had lost a diamond out of her engament ring, so as soon as we got home we were on our hands and knees trying to find this tiny diamond! Luckily Diane found it! PHEWF!

Anyway, I will write again probably later on. The rugby is just about to start and im going to watch it!

Bisous! xx
