back to the future

g'day shielas? how's it going down unda? swoit? swoit. not alot exciting to report here, its cold, and i am doing more contact hours than anyone has ever dreamed of (last week i think i did close to 26) but im still not mastering the private study side of things, as if it wasnt hard enough in enlgish, in french its a nightmare, i have to struggle to stay awake! content so boring and it takes twice as long to read, arg. on the positive side of things, i am pretty impressed with my level of french, ill have to find some means of showing it off to everyone when i get back... hmmm ill come up with something. still just the usual stuff, uni, sleep, music and burriots. but its all good. so instead of blogging what has been happening, im going to blog the future; impressive eh?

we're all getting pretty excited about our xmas/nye plans, its going to be so great! just in case you dont know EXACTLY whats happening (and im sure you're dying to know.. :D ) here it is; well the first part is still on the drawing board; im going to try to work extra hard now so i can skip out on the last week of uni and jump on a train and head down to nice to hang out with cyril and the rest of the gang, fair few of them are still down there so it should be a laugh, im really glad i did that, made quite a lot of good friends down there who i wont be forgetting in a hurry. then im jumping on a train on the 18th of december where mum,dad,amy,lee,and ben are going to pick me up in a car from somewhere like lyon where we will drive to the snow.

they will all have met at various stages along the way from bristol to paris. we're staying in the snow at a little town called les menuiers until the 26th of december; a nice big family xmas week; going to be so good! at some stage tristan and ben dyer will probably drop in for a night or two as well, they started their trip about a week ago and it sounds like they're having the time of their lives, in spain i think at the moment, but its one of those whirrl wind tours, hard to keep track. then me and benn are jumping on a train up to paris for a few days to check out the scene and party it up, ben has never been to europe so he is going to want to do the touristy stuff, but thats ok,im sure ill enjoy myself; despite not being a fan of paris, should be fun being a tour guide, there we shall stay in a hostel or something until the evening of the 30th when we will jump on a plane destined for stockholm, sweden to meet up with ben dyer and tristan again for new years and a few extra days, then im headed back to strasbourg via paris on the 3rd of jan, to get stuck back into some hard core study. not a bad little plan if i do say so myself, sound good? jealous?

however until then, as i said, quite a drudging lifestyle here, im barely even drinking! im sure you dont believe that but its true, i have been out for a big night in strasbourg maybe... 4times? and i have been here for 7weeks already, wow, impressive eh, i dont think even i ever envisaged that sort of behavior.

well, that will do for today, im off to get something to eat. hear from you soon kids.

j clef (as ben calls me now for some reason, havnt gotten around to asking why)
