Preétat des lieux

So I just had this
meeting with the man responsible for my appartment. He came round to
the place to tell me everything that needed to be cleaned before I
leave.

OH MY GOD.

Now I’m not saying that this guy is an obsessive compulsive or
anything, but SHIT did he write down a lot of stuff for me to do. I was
longing for a Cryfield room when he left, where as soon as you’d taken
your suitcase out, there was no more space to dirty…

Today we’re getting some exam marks back and other stuff, and
Mariatzell’s coming back from Lyon which will be a treat yep yep yep.
Oh yeah and I bought my train ticket home (the London –> home leg)
and DORIS BATBRAIN here sent it to home (in England) instead of France.
Anyway hopefully moms and pops will wise up and send them on. Hopefully.

Pastis is the new drink by the way. And lots of it.

Well yesterday I travelled and
travelled and travelled all day….it was quite tiring. I thin it’s
lucky that I don’t get pissed off when travelling anymore (If I was
delayed or whatever I used to get totally psycho)…now when I heard
that my Eurostar had been cancelled I just smiled, sparked a big blunt,
had a beer and chilled out (without the blunt or the beer).
Yeah so
door to door it took me about 13 hours to get home, covering 8
different modes of transport (can you guess them kids?)…happy to be
back.

Then we had a cool dinner before my sister, her mate and one of our
mutual friends (and me of course) went to the pub and got drunk. Sweet.

Funny things
==========
-On
the tram in Grenoble I met James the Barman from Couche Tard…and he
was heading to London as well so we travelled together – sweet! It was
really nice to have someone to chat to at the stations etc (because we
weren’t sitting together, our tickets already had numbers).
-On the
Eurostar *IN MY CARRIAGE* was a girl from Warwick who is spending a
year in Paris who was in a load of my classes last year sweetx2! We
chatted from Paris to Calais and it really made the time fly. Also she
made it clear that everyone taking a year out is having a great time,
not just the Grenoble posse.
-When I got home – I found some videos that I’d ordered…
