So, it's been a while since I've written a blog, but I promise that there is a real reason for this (not just being ridiculously lazy). Long and short of it is that I basically haven't had a laptop until now. But now it's here and SO SHINY AND NEW!
I guess the good news is, is that I'm a hundred per cent less mardy than my last blog post, which hopefully should make it a more enjoyable read.
So last weekend I whizzed to Paris to see Sabrina, one of my housemates from last year. On the Friday night, we started off with a lovely dinner of baguette and cheese. Parfait. I must admit I was a bit overwhelmed by Paris. I felt like a lost little country girl in a big looming grey city. Everybody seemed to have a purpose; somewhere to go, someone to see. Reminding me that I definitely wasn't in Nogent any more.
That night we popped to "Danger Bar", so affectionately named because unlike almost any bar in Paris, they offer a pint for 3 euros (which free garlic chips, which unfortunately I think we were a bit too late for, sob).
The next day Sabrina kindly brought me some KFC and I indulged in that sweet chicken-y goodness that I have now been craving for some time.
Following that, we took a stroll around Paris, as I snapped happily away on my camera. Then we visited the Centre Pompidou, which I'd never been to before. I really enjoyed it (photos to come when I work out how to software works on my computer. Damn yoou Windows 8!).
Then I went back to chez moi, exhausted but filled with the glow that you get when you visit a beautiful city like Paris.
This week has been pretty tough, although surprisingly quick. Had a few more no-shows this week, but have resolved not to take it personally and feel smug instead, that I've already done my college education and they have to suffer through theirs, haha.. ha. ha. haa.
Last night I had my first raclette round Rosslyn's, with her son, Ara and another woman who works at the school, Melinda. For those of you who don't know (which I didn't), a raclette is essentially a hotplate, on which you place cute little shovels with cheese and meat. The cheese melts, the meat cooks through and you eat it with buttery potatoes. My fave. (Which brings me to a little side note, I miss jacket potatoes an alarming amount).
Anyway, I am off to play with my new toy, hopefully this will make blog updates more regular!
Bisous!
