Having spent a wicked few days in the Isle of Wight and then York, reality is dawning on me. A week today I should (but probably won't) be all packed and ready to go...yet I have so much more to organise, aaaargh! Still struggling with bank accounts and mobile phones among other things, principally la maitrise, who still hasn't replied: 7 weeks after my original email and a week after my angry "why haven't you replied" email. I had difficulties expressing my annoyance without sounding rude! Think I will leave it until next week and then ring her. I suppose French disorganisation as regards admin is just something I'll have to get used to, not going to be easy considering how hyper-organised I am.
People keep asking me about how I feel regards leaving. It's a toughie. On the one hand I'm outrageously excited, think of me on a hyper day and multiply the excitement by 3 and I'm skipping. Jolly good thing I only have a couple more shifts at work else plates will be flying everywhere (not that that's anything out of the ordinary!). On the other hand I'm quite overwhelmed, I can deal with all the challenges, such as speaking French 24/7, individually but on the rare occasion that I remember that I will be confronted by all of them at once I'm scared! The thought of teaching 30 French 16 years old with no previous experience whatsoever is so ridiculous that it's funny, nervous laugh! Leaving home shouldn't be so bad (although I will miss the cushtiness of a 3 month holiday!), I'm used to being in York for 10 weeks on end. But I know that I will crave York , "facebook Thursday" is going to be a challenge. If I was going without leaving that would be fine, but that's not the case and it's going to be difficult.
I'm currently trying to work out how people can subscribe to this blog (if they so wish!), and get an alert whenever I update it, but I am yet to work it out, not being so technologically advanced myself...any ideas please comment! I think it may have something to do with RSS, but this means nothing to me!
