With regards to school, things just seem to be getting stranger to be honest. My timetable has pretty much crumbled, due to there being a lot of stresses with teachers dealing with extra classes, trainee teachers etc so there hasn't really been time to make my timetable again. It's an odd situation to be in. I'm trying my best though, I guess that's all I can really do.
This half term has been pretty great so far as I've had plans for pretty much every weekend!
Last weekend I went to Paris to meet up with my course friends from Uni who are all over France this year; Izzy (Toulouse), Harriet (Nantes) and Siobhan (Nancy). We had such a lovely weekend together, it was so nice that after not seeing them since June we were completely as if we had seen each other yesterday. I also realised that I wouldn't be able to live in Paris. It's a great city, but everything is just too hectic and confusing and it's just too goddamn big.
We got very lost. Even after I've been there so many times. But we eventually found our way around.
We went to the Louvre, but pretty much just because Izzy and Harriet wanted to see the Mona Lisa. We went to the Musée d'Orsay which is one of my favourite museums ever, and it was pretty cool because I found the four Monet painting he did of Rouen cathedral and felt very French being like 'that's the cathedral that wakes me up every morning bitches!'. We went to an amazing patisserie called Angelina's which I only realised once we got inside that I'd been to with my parents when I was 16. It was IMMENSE. The hot chocolate was freaking unreal. I couldn't finish my cake. I regret that.
We found some really nice bars as well, although I would advise ANYONE visiting Paris to only go to bars at happy hour because it is ridiculous prices after that. All in all it was a lovely trip, although we also tried to visit a fashion museum which was closed, boo.
This weekend I'm actually going back home to see Taylor Swift with my sister for her 18th birthday present...that's a few months early, but hey, I can't control when Taylor Swift decides to tour. I cannot describe how long we have been waiting for this. It's gonna be AMAZING. We may cry. A lot.
It's gonna be nice to spend some time at home and see my family too, as this has been quite a hectic few weeks for them, what with the cat dying a couple of weeks ago.
I get back from England on Monday, and then on Thursday my boyfriend is coming to visit me which I am super excited about because NO ONE HAS VISITED ME SO FAR OR EVER SENDS ME MAIL so this is a big thing. It'll be so nice to actually show someone around Rouen! Like a real French citizen.
And then the weekend after that is Valentines Weekend which, obviously I will be alone for, but not so alone as on the Saturday my friends who are working in Germany this year happen to be coming to Paris for the weekend so I get to see them which will be lovely! Completely brilliant coincidence.
And then, my final week of teaching until the next half of term! After that, we're off to Milan for a few days which will be freaking awesome and I can't wait for, and then off home for about ten days. So basically, February is the best month ever. And then after February, I get to have my birthday at home which is lovely as I'd much rather be with my family for a grown up horrible birthday like 22 then have it here where everyone is younger than me and all WOOHOO JUST TURNED 21 LIFE IS AWESOME whereas I'm all like shit I'm so much older than everyone shouldn't I be looking into getting a job and my own home right now ahhhhhh what is life baby dont hurt me dont hurt me no more. Or something like that.
So that was a brief sum up of what has happened and what is happening. I really should update this thing more.
