Friday night and I'm sat in on my own, having done the housework and helped myself to a somewhat generous glass of Bordeaux. Not what one generally envisages of a 20 year old's Friday night but I've found that I enjoy these evenings on my own, time to reflect and enjoy a few French luxuries.
Last weekend was good. On Saturday, we toddled off to a "pub" in Senonches called the Fox and Frog. Bless the French and their attempts at a pub. It's basically a glorified bar with lots of wooden beams. Not a whiff of bar snacks, or jukeboxes, or fruit machines, or in fact anything that slightly resembles a British pub, except a copious amount of alcohol and the odd suspect character. Overall though, a very merry night.
This week has, again, gone extremely quickly. I've been very busy with my lessons and tutoring. Unfortunately though, a vicious breed of French virus struck me halfway through the week and so on Thursday, I took the day off to feel sorry for myself and have a menthol party.
Today I have been mostly unproductive. I'm very content to sit on my own and make my way through endless hours of British TV and classic films. I did receive the most excellent news today, that I will no longer have to teach the worst class in French history ever again. I actually squealed with delight.
With just 3 weeks left before I leave la belle France, it's time to start planning my goodbye parties and lists of things to do before I leave. I realise I've actually accomplished many of them already which is really something to be proud of.
Anyway, apologies for my slightly lackluster post which definitely represents its writer at this point in time.
