| Hiya idle readers! Havent updated my diary for ages, so i m not gonna rambling on and on about it, if it s ok by you too....So, basically, since the last time i wrote, i guess quite a lot of things ve happened...I finished and passed my exams, and left Newcastle and all the friends i ve made there...We had a chinese buffet and a huge night out at the Blu Bambu (crappy R'n'B club, but Co's and my love for indie rock hasnt been enough to convince the whole crew, so after a while, we ended up giving in...) . I ve put some photos in the gallery. I really miss Sam, Rachida, Hannah, Mailys, and all the others....Fortunately, i ve stayed in close contact with Djam and Coraline, which is already a good start...Co and Damien went down to London in the beggining of June and we spent for days visiting the cpital, lazying in Hyde Park, going out, etc.... Then, i got hired as a Foreign Language Assistant in London, and i even went and met my mentor as well as the headmaster of the other school i m gonna work with. Everything went real fine, and i m not too anxious thinking of my 1st day of teaching (aka november the 1s)...I ve also been shown round the school by some of my future pupils and they ve been ok with me, so it helps to relax, especially as one of the school is a boy school.....Anyway, apart from that but still in the academic field, i learnt that i m gonna be compelled to study my course on my own to complete my master as i m not allowed o have a second year of teching in Britain...It s not gonna be easy and i m pretty nervous about it, but i ll just try to do my best...Especially as i havent even chose the subject i m gonna study....I had a chat with one of my teachers in Moges-Li, and he told me that, considering what i ve planned to study in my master 2 (namely cinema), it wouldnt be really wise to choose to study Peter Pan.....It really desappointed me as i was looking forward to study it, but i try to see the bright side oooof life...Studying a film is always a pleasure anyway...So for now, i have 2 different ideas, one about an english film, the other one about an american director....Im really angry at Wim Wenders and Lasse Hallstorm for not being english or american, but i ll survive.... Something else that pissed me off is the unbreakable silence that my french uni made me undergo. Finally i still have no date to come and subscribe so i just took my plane tickets and i will show up on the 8th and the 9th and see what happens...Yorick (the teacher i told about earlier) says that it should be ok, but qui vivra verra! Otherwise i spent quite a rubbish summer as the weather was crap (no wonder when one lives in London...) and i didnt manage to get any job since the Exportise guy just dumped me at the last moment....So i just lazed around for 2 months and fought till i dropped dead against Miss Boredom who gave me a REAL hard time....Thanks God, Anglim was here, and i spent most of my time bombing the pages of their forum...Poor Anglimers! Though i went 2 weeks in France, most of the time in Paris , at Nath's but also in Felletin. I had a really good time in Paris as Nath and i had the opportunity to catch up on all the things going on in our lives and in our heads...So we talked a lot together and maaan, that feels good! She worried me a bit at some point as she looked as if she was getting over-exited about her relationship with her bf, and well, it s never good to rush things, and Nath.....she s just tremendously good at it! Nath also introdueced me to Christophe and Virgiinie (Nico's sister and brother-in-law) and they ve been so nice to me! they are really nice people and i hope i ll see them again. Christophe, who is fond of comic books gave me a special edition of a Loisel's Tinker Bell (the fairy haunting this website) metallic poster...So cool!!!! Then we drove to Creuse, where i spent 2 quite unpleasant days at my dad's, except that i talked a lot with Antoine and even Julien, and it so rare that it just fills me with joy when it does happen....Later, i went in my mum's new house, but she and my step-dad was on holidays in the sun, so i havent seen them. It was really wierd to sleep in a house you ve never been before..That was quite spooky, it was like i was at someone else's...(even if it s not the first time i feel it when i go at my parents', but anyway...). On monday, i went to Aubusson to see my GP and my tyre went flat as i arrived (i was riding my bike), and there s around 10 km between Aubusson and Felletin....and i didnt even have a blooming french phonecard to phone Nath to come and pick me up! So iwas starting to despair when i saw Eve, a girl who was in highschool with me...I hadn t seen her for aaaages and we started chatting....Finally i found out that she was driving back to Felletin so we grabbed my bike and put it in the boot, and all my problems were solved! On he afternoon i went riding and saw Jerome, Manue, Karine, Marion and lots of other riding mates....I felt so emotionnal! I was used to spend so much time with them! During my competitions years, i saw them more than my own parents!!! they re just family! I hadnt seen them for soooo long that it just really touched me deep down...I also saw and rode 2 of the horses i ve tamed and work with.....They improved soem of their weakness and they really impressed me! you leave a timid foal and you come back and see an experienced schoolmaster.....Then i said good bye again to my favorite world and prepared myself to live Creuse...Just before that i went and had diner with Gerard and Celine (Nath s bro and sister in law) and finally saw their infant, Margot. I m not really keen on babies, but i must admit that she was cute. Then i came back to England, and i hardly had the time to rest that i was already on another trip : Reading festival. |
