Where do I begin! Had a lesson at 8.30 to 9.00, this was with BTS class this was a group of students who had passed there baccaulareat and were doing an accountancy course at the lycee. They were probably the same age as me. The lesson was good they actually bothered speaking to me. One girl in particular was loving it and even asked if we could do a french english exchange at some point when i finish if not could she come to england with me.... Then the teacher asked them if they knew of any places in the area I could go like clubs and bars etc. That was then I found out there is a really cheesy disco at the bowling centre bowling been pronounced as bow-ling so thats a cheesy night to ... read more

Hey I need to update my blog after my first official lesson. so I thoguht the first lesson this morning was bad, that was nothing compared to the one i had at 5 o'clock.

My first amazing non negative day in Millau and FOOD! This morning around 9.30am Claire called us and asked us if she needed her to see the apartment we found, but as the estate agent was shut she said she would meet us to go over the contract for the apartment and then find some other options.

The second viewing wasn’t until one so we went for some lunch at ‘Zest’ which is a lovely patisserie come restaurant with cakes that look more like an art ... read more

Yesterday courtney and i set off around 11 oclock to millau, when we arrived we met her responsable and got shown around the town. it was fantastic... until we arrived at my school I spoke with my responsable and she told me to come see here the next day at 8.30 then we saw our accommodation... it was hideous, so dirty and empty. there were two bedrooms that we could have they were equally as disgusting. There were a room with two showers, and a 'kitchen' i say 'kitchen' as it was a fridge a hotplate a kettle a microwave and " bathroom sinks... yes exactly how strange, no work tops or anything! After fits of tears courtney and i have decided to move asap! we went for a walk into town to clear our heads ... read more
