On Monday I went out for lunch with Angéline. We went to La Galiote at Vieux Port. I had brousse stuffed ravioli and Angéline had a pizza. We both had tarte tatin for dessert. It was still really windy so after we'd eaten we went home. Angéline came chez moi for a cup of tea. She left at about 16h and I cleaned my windows. I couldn't reach the tops but they still look so much better than before. My room is now even brighter. I then did some dusting and sweeping. That was all really. Not alot to report for Monday.
I was at Lycée on Tuesday but there were mock italian oral exams in my room so I was roomless. I therefore didn't have any lessons. I went to a class with Marie José and then came home. Emily was supposed to be coming to visit. She was due to arrive at 14h45 but she'd had problems getting on the right train. She caught the Stansted Express at Liverpool Street rather that the train to Gatwick and so ended up at the wrong airport. She therefore missed her flight. She was able to get a transfer onto the next flight which was at the same time the next day.

- I'm an ex-student. A vegetarian ex-student. A vegetarian ex-student who studied English Language and French at the University of Sussex in Brighton. I spent the 2007-8 academic year on my year abroad (in Marseille, France) which is when I started the blog. It was a way of keeping my family and friends back in England updated with what I was up to without racking up gigantic phone bills. I enjoyed my degree. I originally wanted to be an EFL Teacher, I even did the CELTA. I still get excited about grammar, about the present perfect continuous and phrasal verbs. But it's not a career I want to fall into. I love speaking French too and learning new words. Now I've finished my degree I miss my Student Discount. I miss my title of 'Student' too. I'm a Project Worker now, a far cry from an EFL teacher. I've swapped my international students for rough sleepers and my text books for substance misuse and harm minimisation leaflets. I've decided to stay in Brighton, for a while at least. I might do a Masters, you never know. But, at present, I'm quite happy being a Project Worker. I'd still like to travel mind, maybe teaching as I go. But we'll see - at present I'm just fine where I am.
