I hope to spend lots of time here this year :)

Over the next 7-9 months I will shower this blog with my musings, sufferings and revelations as I take on my Year Abroad in Champagnole, France. I will be spending the year teaching English in small French primary schools and hopefully fitting in some travelling in between.

undecided
to revise grammar points...or not to revise grammar points
that is the question.
does it matter if I go to France with my French feeling a bit rusty?
I am after all, still a student.
but can I really expect people to respect me with my shoddy grammar and stuttering pronunciation?
what I wouldn't give to sit down for coffee with my lovely course-mates and get a little casual practice before the big day!
*sigh*

And so the countdown begins...
Staring at my calender I realise I have one month go.
Only one month to devour as much real ale and roast beef as I can!
Preparations are well under way.
Train tickets are booked ( hello 12 hour journey :L ), and I have been put in contact with a lovely lady who will collect me from the station and has already invited me to dinner with her family on the evening I arrive! Just hope I'll be awake enough to make some sort of conversation!
Now I just need to find a warm coat and snow boots! - The previous assistant has warned me of nights dropping to -30 in the winter...can that even happen?
If I lose my toes to France, I shall not be happy!
