I rarely post new things here...
What's new is that I'm looking forward for summer holidays (1 month approximately to go) and if the weather here improves, it would be far better!
I've only got about 5 days left to fill and send my income declaration and it looks like a hard thing to do as it is the 1st time I am doing it... I wish I could spend my free time doing anything else... and keep my money too!

I was in Mexico last winter holidays to see a friend from University and the pictures cans be seen at this address : http://flickr.com/photos/adsyl1024k

As I didn't have enough of time abroad, I am going to Bologna this week end. lol! Well, only if my car is repaired ; last week I couldn't move it, my brakes were stuck...

Been a very long tims since I didn't post anything here...
Well, since last time, I've back to school but on th eother side of the desk.
Teaching is a very tough job and every day is different than the previous! It's very interesting as I use to get bored very easily of things and at the moment, I am pleased of what I am doing.
Still as 1st year teacher, I have to attend lessons at IUFM but it's very boring and time does not go as quick as when I am teaching. But the good point is that I am paid!
I'll be on strike on Thursday. I don't know pretty much why there is a strike, but I'll be on strike as in my school, there will be only 1person working and I don't want to be with her taking care of about 100 children doing nothing. Maybie I'll go shopping that afternoon. lol!

It's been a short while since I didn't post anything here... I've been pretty busy mostly with my summer job.
It's been taking most of my time till mid July. I had to prepare the lessons for every day as it is the first time I am making this.
Now since a couple of week I have enough themes to do for the pupils and the chance is that I get new ones every couple of week so it is not that exausting now. The only negative aspects are that it is getting boring for me to do every week the same things and secondly that the teens don't care much about learning French during their summer holidays. Which I can easily understand!

To change subject, I sold many things on ebay which I sent last week. I appears that the mails got lost and they never reached the buyers... The problem is that I sold for 800euros and that I have now to give the money back. It is realy annoying me that 4 items got lost. Pretty strange also. I happen to think they have been stolen at the post office. Maybie I shall go and see the police if they don't reappear within a week.

I had a crazy week!
And I wish many weeks would look like the same! Actually now, chance has turn to side with me and I'm delighted!
Do some of you remember when I posted that I failed my exam? ...
Well, actually there was a mistake and I received a letter last Monday telling me I finally PASSED and I'll be a trainee teacher for next September!
In France, you start as a trainee then you get your job for life a year after.
But that's it, MY DREAM FINALLY CAME TRUE!!!
Moreover, I won't be any more in the Var, 250km/day away, I'll be in Nice and it is 15minutes drive from home!!!
M SO HAPPY and I can't fully realize how it is so good! 3,5months of holidays, doing the job I am made for and that I want to do.... it's SO GOOD!!!

Have any of you heard of that band?

JUSTICE

Does Daft Punk rings a bell to you?

Justice is about the same. They're French and it's pleasant to say that there finally is a good French band!
You can listen to their album on their site, and it's free!!!
JUSTICE web site :

Tell me what you think and if you don't have time to listen to the whole album, get to DANCE, it's their first single.

Just to send a post because not many new things happened to me recently since I failed my exam...
Looking forward to the month of July as I shall be starting my summer job of 'French foreign language' teacher.
Until that, I am wandering doing nothing or enjoying being a lazy man under the sun on warm sand at the beach. Well, I'm living by the sea, so why shan't I? lol!

I also need to open a secondary bank account. Not because I have to much money... I am far from that by the way! lol!
I have made 3 banks and each have refused to open me the account! Their excuse is that I don't earn enough money monthly.
Well, how could I as I am a student?!
Moreover, it seems that if you don't earn 3000euros/month, you get the same consideration from the bank that someone whose account is always in the debit and is full of debts would get...
I am not asking them for a credit card and all the stuff that goes with it. I already have one and don't want to pay for a second one I won't use. I am just asking for a secondary account. But they don't want.
What a strange country I am living in... lol!

I failed my exam... end of the adventure, end of the pleasure...

What am I to do now...?

I was at a friend's bbq this week end.
I really had a great week end except that when we went into his pool, I found myself being deaf with all the water and I could change a thing.
I was in class yesterday but actually, I went there for nothing as I did not ear a single word of what the teacher was saying.
The doctor fixed it today and I find now that there is a lot of noise here in spite my insulated windows! lol! Hope it won't come back again, I hated sleeping hearing not but the beat of my heart...

I don't know if you remember, but I was looking for a job as a French foreign language teacher for this summer. Two of the schools I went to leave my CV last week callled me back today. I have an appointment Friday morning and afternoon at each of them. Hope it will work for both so that I could choose which one I want to spend my 2 months of summer!

So my exam is finished at last..!
I don't know yet if I passed or if I did enough well to pass as the results will be 25th May.
The only thing I know is that I am a bit scared the mark I could get in French won't be good enough to make me pass. I am scared also I put too much information in my Sciences and I hope I did enough well in Maths.
Well, I'm not sure of anything at all then! lol!
The only thing I could say I know is that if the police had not towed my car away which was parked on a space reserved 1hour per week, I could have revised a bit more my Geography and I would have know what to put in my essay!
Then, of course, I would have saved 96euros I had to pay for the fee! This is adding to the large amount of money I spent on this past month of April with the car insurance, the car warranty extension, the car annual visit and my annual health insurance company that does not reimburses me any thing!
Well, I'm back to Uni since Monday to prepare the oral exams now though we don't know if we passed and I am looking, whatever happens at my exam, for a job this summer as a foreign language teacher in private schools or tutorial for young pupils who need summer lessons. I found out more than 40 schools in my city and I shall go and see all of them to get a part time job so as not work all summer and have loads of free time too.

My exam starts tomorrow afternoon and will last until Friday...
The pressure is really increasing...
Shall post this week end how I feel after that...
