A bank holiday...

Ok... many days without giving news so many things to say!

Friday 28th

Today is the day of my first Fish and Chips... the famous Fish and Chips!!! It's typicaly English. So I was surprised that people buy that in chineese restaurants. I took a small portion of it...I have not finished it! Never take a large! It was really tasty but I don't think that I will eat that soon 'cause all the night I was sick! :s

I learnt today that next week Aurore will still be here but the following week I will be alone. So next week I must know every tasks by heart. It's gonna be great!

Sunday 30th

Today I took time for walking and visiting the cost of Southampton. I saw pretty things, I can't post every pictures in the blog but this one pretty good.


I noticed that in England everything is "ok", everybody is "ok", all is "ok"! ^^

Today

I had a very interesting discussion with Martin, a friend of my housemates. We talked about the cultural differences about French and English people. In fact, he said that there are no really differences between English and French. He's not informed about the stereotypes. But we talked about food... I didn't know that we had so many specialities in France... There are French toasts which is "pain perdu" in fact. Of course he talked about cheese. Yesterday I learnt that oignon soup is "French oignon soup". Andy told me that nobody cook it except French people! So I will cook the French oignon soup next week ^^

But what should I do during a day off. Maybe I should visit the town but it's not a very sunny day! I will do it later.

After crazyness and happiness...

Monday evening, the PA, Aurore, broke her thumb. So I was alone on Tuesday and Wednesday... I have finished the study of woodfuel market the director asked me. Now he's ok and asked me to contact different companies and associations by phone. I told him that it's very soon. So I said I may send them emails then I will call them if they are interested in our products. The research was not really easy 'cause there's no information about English wood market in French. Today - Thursday - Aurore is back. She gave me some missions... photocopy, file papers, open letters, etc. She can't do it easily because of her broken thumb ^^

Every day when I wait the bus, there's always the same woman. She's always smiley, listening music, wearing a skirt. She looks like Snow White: a white perfect skin, a dark brown hair and really red lips. So I took a picture! ^^

My first day

Today is a very special day because today is my birthday and my first day in GPS Ltd. I took the bus and stopped near the company but I turned around a long time before finding it! I was well welcomed but the boss thaught I would be here tomorrow. The manager, Régis, and the PA, Aurore, seem cool. Today I just began searching information about wood briquettes market. Oh! I forget! Today I met the other housemate, now we're three and soon we'll be 4. It's a kind of "l'auberge espagnole" ^^ Thank you for people thinking my birthday!!!

Southampton... here I am!

Enfin arrivée! Décollage parfait, atterrissage pas tout à fait parfait... I don't care because now here I am! I took a taxi at the airport. It's not so much expensive, only £17. Then I met Andy, my new housemate. He's very cool! So I'm really happy to be here. Then I walked to the supermarket. It was just a test! For the moment I don't really miss my family and friends. The picture is my first English lunch: toasts, butter,eggs and cheese. It was really tasty!

Mayday! MAYDAY!

Bon alors, concentrons-nous et soufflons tous très fort sur ce fichu nuage de cendres volcaniques qui n'en finit pas de faire des siennes et d'empêcher les avions de décoller de et pour l'angleterre... J'ai vraiment pas envie de payer les yeux de la tête pour prendre le train et mettre des heures à arriver à destination!!!!! Croisons les doigts, faisons brûler des cierges, invoquons les esprits et inch allah!

It's gonna be LEGEND...wait for it...DARY!!!

La nouvelle est tombée en début de semaine: j'ai un stage en Angleterre pour cet été. Ce sera donc direction l'Hampshire, à Totton juste à côté de Southampton, chez GPS Ltd! God save my teachers! Un grand Merci à mes enseignantes et à leurs familles sans qui j'aurais surement trouvé un stage en France sans intérêt. Quoiqu'il en soit, j'entre dans la période de recherche d'appartement... quelle galère! Dans 3 semaines c'est le grand départ!
