HOLIDAYYYY!!!
The French deem in necessary to give the kiddies 2 weeks holiday because it's Halloween, so I'm not going to complain! I'm off home tomorrow so i'll be back on here upon my return! :)

A small, rambling blog about life in the French countryside :)
Miss Rebecca Green
20 years old, student of French, Spanish and European Studies at the University of Bath, embarking on what may be the most interesting year of my life, but in France!
Hobbies include drinking tea, being organised, sewing and making clothes, buying far too much from Paperchase, anything panda-related, a nice drop of wine and awkwardly speaking foreign languages.

Essential YA things to remember!
- Bring tea bags - ESSENTIAL.
- The French WILL laugh at your handwriting.
- Most internet shopping will not have the option to be delivered to France!
- Never turn down an outing or invitation to dinner.
- Pretend to like coffee or they'll look at you funny.
- Pack LOTS of pictures and invest in hang-up photo pouches whilst out here.
- However much you try, your room will never feel like it's YOURS.
- Prepare for 4 seasons in one day.
- ALWAYS carry a dictionary!
- Get a 12-15 SNCF card, it's a lifesaver.
- Make a list of paperwork/things to do BEFORE you get to wherever you're going!
- Get out there and TALK!
