ok so I haven't really been writing in this thing for a while, but things have been super busy of late.
My classes are going well, and they will be better by the end of this week, muhwahaha. what I mean by this is that the bain of my existance, aka TSTG1, will soon be off my schedule foreveeerrrrrrr. Which is a shame really because they were really good these past few weeks, but on tuesday one of the dumb shits made some crude and very impolite gestures in class and I refuse to have anything to do with them anymore.
I still haven't met one of my classes, but I don't need to ever prepare anything for them so that is fine with me.
In other news vacation starts up in a little over a week. I've been trying to figure out what to do, but I think I'm going to do it true backpacker style and just go wherever the wind blows me--as much as my little OCD self can manage. I'm going to book a train and hotel in brussels, then when I arrive in the train station I'll book my next ticket, use the internet at the hotel to get a room, then keep on with this basically until I run out of money. It will be blissful solitude, which we all know I enjoy greatly.
I can't believe its almost feb. vacation. after that its 6 weeks of classes, then I'm basically done. Damn time flies when you ain't doin' much, lol. Though I'm still trying to figure out where the crap all my money goes. Not into buying me pretty things, I can tell you that.
I have officially applied to grad school. Come back in 4-6 weeks to see if I was officially rejected. wo0t

the last few weeks have been crazy, commuting a lot between montargis and paris and organizing and just trying to reorganize my life. aka get back on track, get into the right mindset, etc. my room is a wreck, which is really the first thing I need to get under control. I need to go foodshopping and buy real food so that I can start eating proper meals again. then I have to deal with more government crap. I finally got my carte de sejour, but the french bastards spelt my name wrong.
I also went through some recent veronique drama. she had asked me to chaperone a trip to hungary, but a little over a week ago she told me it was just going to be me and three students, not a big trip like I had been expecting. everyone I talked to said it was a bad idea, so I told her I just couldn't do it anymore. of course she made a big huff and puff about it, but theres no way I'm putting that sort of responsibility on my shoulders. there are not enough anti-anxiety pills in the world to make that work out for me.
ireland on the other hand is going to be a lot of work, but a lot of fun I think. all my students seem super excited that I'm going, so I really don't think we'll have too many problems. and I won't be the only adult there, which was my main problem with hungary. and at least the irish claim to speak english, lol. poor french kids are in for a suprise.
in the meanwhile I need to work on soundproofing the walls in this damn flat. am tired of hearing about every aspect of everyones lives through their telephone calls

I have an ache in my belly and its name is you
so here I am back in france. YAWN and I'm so freaking tired. jet lag sucks, but it sucks even more when you have no time to recover from it! I obviously did not sleep at all on the plane, so I stumbled my way through paris and managed to catch a taxi from the train station in montargis. my taxi driver totally wants me. as a tutor, that is. HA he says he's a good cook so maybe I will take him up on the offer.
This is what my life since then has looked like.
Tuesday
3-6 sleep
6-11 eat, unpack, think about sleeping
11-4am sleep
4-7 eat roommates food, read
7-1.30 pm sleep
1.30-3 unpack
3-6.30 sleep
6.30-11 unpack, go foodshopping, eat, take sleeping pill
and then I woke up at 4 am and have been awake ever since. I tried to sleep on the couch but all I got out of that was a back ache. In other news my schedule is way better now since Claire changed one of my classes, whooooo.
shit man my back hurts owowowowow. ps I might go to hungary
