Happy 1000th Visitor!
I know that some blogs get tons of hits everyday and this is not a great milestone in comparison. But I thought it was cool that since I added the hit counter I have now passed 1000 hits on the site. This is about a two month span of time because I wanted to see how many people were coming to see the site. I hope you all enjoy my little rants, antecdotes, and stories about my time here in France and all of my the friends that I have made along the way.

I do, and I don't even know you! It's great that you update so much! Is it easy to do? My mom wants me to do a blog when I'm in France.
With blogger it is really easy to do because it is a no brainer and it's easy to set-up. It's pretty much point and click. Glad you enjoy it and thanks for the comment. Also, what are you going to be doing in France?
I'm going to do the assistantship in Hazebrouck (academie de Lille) for high school students. I'm a little nervous about the teaching part, but I at least know that my friends and boyfriend are there (I spent a semester at a university in Lille). Plus, I think my housing may be FREE!
I found your blog through the assistants in france website. (I'm the one that asked you about the french teacher.) It's amazing how interesting it can be to read things from people you don't even know. (Does that mean I'm nosy?) It's also good to read about people who feel the same way about France as I do. Being abroad is great, but life's never the same afterwards: when you're home, you miss friends from abroad....when you're away, you miss friends/fam from home. It's quite cruel, actually, but wonderful at the same time!

I think that you will find that the position is a little frustrating at first but by the end you will be in cruise control. My schools were very complacent by the end and were as ready to be finished as I was. You'll see that you have undivided attention until about 2 months before you leave and then you are not fussed at all by the teachers or students. It has been a wonderful year and although I do not want to be a teacher I will always, as you can imagine, treasure the people that I have met. I have no false hopes of keeping in contact with everyone, but there are a few that I feel I will see again along the way. As it stands I plan to return to France and perfect my French then move on to Spain or Mexico and who knows where else. Take it easy, and I hope to hear from you every now and again. I think that a blog is a great idea obviously, do it and you will be tres content. My friends all pass along my address to there friends back home as a guide to their own time here. Ciao
