4 weeks to go!!

4 weeks to go and I have finally heard from Lycee Napoleon, my school that I've been assigned to in France.

So the all important question of accommodation has been answered and it looks like there is an appartment on site reserved for the langauge assistants.  It is two rooms as it sounds like I'll be sharing with the assistant at the college (if there is one).  The teacher who will be 'looking after me' didn't have more information than that and she said she'd be getting back to me about the rent for the place etc.  So I'm very pleased I don't have to find somewhere myself and that I won't have to worry about transport costs.  I'd imagine/am hoping the rent will be reasonable and will help me to save money so I can travel!! :)

The last week has been pretty full on.  I said good-bye to my baby - my cat Bella - this was gut-wrenching and it took me a few days to recover from the ordeal. She is in capable hands while I am away but I miss her heaps and can't wait to have her back again.

I also moved out of my flat and back to Mum and Dad's so have been organising that in the evenings while working during the day.  Again I was so sad to say goodbye to my great flat at the Mount and my great flatties.  I moved now because the next 4 weeks are going to get pretty busy with internal assessments and mock exams to mark, reports to write, going overseas to plan etc etc without having to deal with moving out as well, so thats sorted now which is one less thing to do.

So that's where things are at now.

Stayed tuned for more...
