Just a quick update. Last Thursday I had breakfast with Aimée et 9h30 and then coffee with Rachel at 11h before going to lunch with Angéline at 12h30. I then went to the CAF office with Rachel and then we walked to Cours Julien to go to the most amazing tea rooms. We then had dinner together and went to watch Everton play Chelsea.
I didn't do alot of Friday, Saturday or Sunday. And as for today I've done my shopping and went to Lycée as the holiday is now over. I only have another 2 weeks left on my contract. It's sad.
Et voila, not a lot to report!
Qui êtes-vous ?

- 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.
