Life's Just Like a Box a'Chocolates....Yuuummmmm.....

Bonjour!!

Well well well. The last time I wrote in this thing was May. A lot's happened since then methinks!!
For example, I live in France now, in a nice quiet little town outside Paris called St Germain en Laye. Well I say "live", I'm not moving into my own place till monday. I'm currently crashing at a teacher's place, and will be moving into a flat near my school. I'm going to be sharing with 2 French girls I think, I only met one the other day and she seemed nice. It's costing something like 560 euros, which is slightly more than I wanted but it is nice and very convenient. And all bills are included. And it's furnished, which is rare for flats in France apparently.

So other than that, everything's cool. I start properly at my school on tuesday - so far I've just been observing and getting used to who's who etc. Some of my classes are quite bad but hopefully my charm will win them over and they'll be nice to me instead of eating me alive like I currently think they will... Plus I've already heard some horror stories from some of the other assistants in my region so I can't really say I'm looking forward to it exactly!

What else? Got myself a bank account and a new phone today, if you want my number leave us a comment, though i think most people should have had an email from me earlier. Ermmm.... to be honest nothing much else has happened here.

I'm coming home on the 22nd, yeah!!! So anyone in the Birmingham region, be prepared for a huge Eddie's night! God I've missed real music. There is a radio station here (Called Oui FM - lol!!) and they play similar stuff to Kerrang's daytime stuff - so the only music I've heard recently has been that shit new Oasis song that I hated when I was in England, Kaiser Chiefs, Gorillaz and that new Franz Ferdinand song ("well do ya, do ya do ya wanna..." etc) That can really grate after the fiftieth time. But anyway, having heard some real French music, I'm grateful for anything remotely British. Even if it is the same shite over and over again.

I'm hoping to update this thing every so often, I was just reading some of the earlier stuff on this site (eg. the fat naked woman at the gym) and it's quite funny now looking back. I wonder how long it'll last...
