I going to write this blog last night to be a little more up to date, though fatigue and Top Gear DVDs got the better of me, so am going to cover two days in one to get back up to speed a little. Yesterday I soaked up a bit of culture at the theatre as I got asked to accompany some classes from Barthou who were going to see Oliver Twist and it turned out my friend who is an assistant at Lycée St.Jean Perse was doing exactly the same as me not that either of us knew beforehand, so was a nice surprise! On the whole i really enjoyed the performance although for me nothing can ever beat the original film musical...classic doesn't quite cover it! As I mentioned before I was also in a stage version of Oliver the musical when I was at Secondary School as well in the chorus, which in fairness was hardly a huge part, but at 13 I didn't really care, I still got a buzz from doing it! I think it was around that age that I actually developed inhibitions to be honest as before that I was pretty much fearless! I'm extroverted and out-going now (and have been since around the age of 16) though I still have some inhibitions as does everyone, think everyone has their own personal hang-ups as nobody is perfect as much as people may think they are.
Anyway, after the performance as by the time the show had finished the sun was well and truly out and pretty much blinded us all as were were coming out of the theatre. Upon adjusting to the light, me and Krystal went off together to head back although went via a cafe to buy some churros, which I have to say is pretty much becoming mine and her tradition as the last time we went out for a mooch round town together we did exactly the same thing! As I bought last time, she bought this time, so next time (as there will more than likely be a 'next time')it's back to my turn to buy. Churros in hand we set off walking home in the sun as we both live in the same direction, so it's always good for a chat and company! Churros are so nice though and I haven't seen anywhere in England that sells them! There may well be somewhere but I haven't yet found it unfortunately, so I intend on exploiting the possibilities during my time here! :)
Today was business as usual at work, had all my 4 classes and had the luxury of getting the bus instead of having to walk this week (I realise that makes me sound quite lazy, but walking to work at 7am is something I can do without). Found out at work that Blake the other English assistant was still having difficulty getting back to Pau as he went to Sweden to the Gotemburg Film Festival last weekend to see the premiere of one of his friend's films. His journey back was quite a lot longer than expected though as due to snowy weather all over England this week a lot of flights were grounded with airports coming to a halt...unfortunately this affected him getting back so instead of getting back on Tuesday, he has only just got back today! I think he's had his fair share of airports for a while! No doubt he had an amazing time there though, so maybe that'll make up for it in a way, who knows...
Can't believe how quickly time is passing here though, already a week away from the February half term, been thinking a lot recently about how sorry I am actually going to be when I have to leave...which makes me intend on making the most of every single day! :)
No plans for weekend as of yet, but I'm pretty sure there soon will be! :)
