Retrobebe + a new blog blog

Hello everyone!

I have actually created a new blog for my trip to france this summer so everyone (parents, family, students, etc) can keep up with me for the 8 week Parisian Adventure. I have also started a new flicker page for just France pictures. You can get to them from the new blog.

Please keep comments kosher since I will be giving the address to my family, friends, co workers, and students. For all the juicy stories, check here . I will still be updating this blog too. But please do not link this blog (retrobébé) to my new one. I want to keep it separate from students, co workers, etc. Thank you

new blog: An American in Paris 

Grrrrrr

So, I am still going to Paris. My flight is booked. Im going.

Now, i just need to find a place to live. No luck with the possible roommate I blogged about earlier. To me, it seemed like we had a communcation problem. And if we were having this much dificultly discussing the lease, money, etc-than it would be an interesting summer.

So I am still looking, if anyone knows anyone in Paris let me know please! I do have some leads, and I’m sure it will all work out in the end.

On brighter news, I am going to see Jason Mraz perform in Richmond on the 18th!!!! I LOVE HIM! So, I am very excited. Must be the year of concerts. Maroon 5, Darren Hayes, and No Mr. A-z!! Hopefully Jenn will be able to go, but if she can’t I’ll be looking for someone to join me!

and only $30!!!!

I am moving to Paris!

I booked my flight today!!!

I am so excited! I have also found a room to rent in the Latin quarter for 400 euros a month-WITH AC and a washer/dryer!

My roomate is a grad student from Spain. Go figure that I would be moving to France and living with someone from Spain! But shes a college student, so that will be really helpful! Plus maybe I can sit in on some grad education classes she has and see if I could handle La Sorbonne!!!

Anyways, im so beside myself right now:-) had to share!

I’m moving to france!

I am leaving I think June 16th and Ill be back the middle of august! I found good air fare and a room to rent with a Spanish grad student for like 400 euros! AC and Washing machine and dryer too!!!

Oh I am so excited! Its in the Latin quarter too!! yay! more to come when i have final details!

Good Day!

Today has a been a really good day!

I finally took back some control in my classroom. It feels good. I think I surprised a few people. lol

I also helped a few students succeed, and that made me feel good.

I got a REALLY cute new passport picture!

I sent out a resumé to a company in France for a Business English Teacher position. *fingers crossed* I’ll send more out once I get my resumé in french. oh fun. lol

I got a lot of chores done too.

Heard from a friend I havent heard from in Ages that I was so worried about. So yay!

Thats it

Happy Day!!

Ok, some highlights from the protect post that I can share to the general public and stalkers alike:

*Computer crashed-currently using Mom’s at the moment, hope to have it back up very soon

*New boyfriend is AMAZING. just had to share

*I’m completely happy again. Life is really good right now.

Other things not in the protected post:

* I am going to get my TEFL Certificate (Teaching English as a Second Language) and move to France (hopefuly Paris). I want to teach English to (hot and young? lol) business men. I have always wanted to live in Paris (my soul feels at home there) and I gave that up once before, and I am not going to again. But it is all still up in the air, but that is my goal!

*Christmas was good. Santa sent me lots of movies and cute stuff. Tomorrow Mom and I are hitting the mall!! Family is good, had a nice time. It was a little tough since it was my first Christmas since D Day, but hey what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, right?

*My bro is engaged (since Turkey day-I was seriously sick so I couldn’t blog about it…or maybe i did? Damn you adhd!)

*My best friend is coming to visit me from Cali soon, so I am soooo excited! Look for pictures

*Spent Christmas Eve with the boyfriend’s fam and had a really great time. Really good people who are down to earth and laid back. Lots of fun

I really think thats all. My boyfriend is amazing and life is really really good. So, again if you want my password, just ask. Text me or email me!
