Topic: Life continues
Salut,
After a rough patch with some "maladie du pays" (home/country sickness) over last weekend, the week went just fine.
I managed to do some work for my courses, to convince myself and others that this year abroad is not just a holiday in France for the year.
I'm getting into Ultimate Frisbee again here, it is very strange to play with people that aren't from Brum, I get little sad feelings from time to time. However, it is good to play with new people as they are quite happy to point out all my frisbee faults that other people got tired of pointing out.
I gave salsa a whirl on Tuesday, it wasn't hugely exciting, as I just had to learn the basic steps, but it's very important to do that though.
I then gave Judo a whirl on Wednesday. I really had no idea what to expect other than lots of people dressed in white. Sure enough, there were people dressed in white. I spent most of the session curled up on the floor and being pushed and pulled over. I failed to genuinly push/pull people over, I appear to be a thorough weakling girl. I'll get my muscles up to strength though and I'll be able to take anyone on.
I went to my first Gay Bar on Thursday, I merrily drank Martini with colour changing straws and pretty cocktail stirers.
Saw a random French film on Friday, something about Corsica. I think some of the French/Corsica jokes were lost on me.
Hmmm, anyway, I'm busying about. Very slowly improving my french.
lots of love for now
Lizzy
