So this is it then...I am actually packing up my suitcase(s) and heading back to Paris. I can't say it will be for good because let's face it we have no idea what is going to happen...but it's certainly a new chapter and a new step for me. I won't lie my nerves have been getting to me today as the day get's closer and the move becomes real but I am trying to keep a cool head! I am grateful that I can at least reassure myself that this was the right decision, it's what I've always wanted (live abroad - big tick), work as a teacher (didn't quite plan on it just yet but TEFL just seems to combine everything I enjoy doing), speaking French (or trying) and call me weird but just hearing French. I'm one of those people who turns my headphones right down sometimes just to listen to a couple bickering on the metro in French. Even when arguing the French somehow make things sound more beautiful. In England I would probably both turn my headphones UP and get off the train before people started throwing punches. I love the UK and it will always be my home but I fell in love with a city and I guess now we'll see whether that city could become my home...I still have a million other places I want to go and live for a while so we'll see if my feet get itchy or not :-)
On the other hand, I have had a wonderful summer that has honestly not been long enough in the slightest! 4 weeks with my family and friends just doesn't seem to have filled the gap in my heart but unfortunately....welcome to the real world. No more 2 months of summer holiday's, working in bars and staying out every weekend...those days are over! Luckily I have a very close family and some incredibly supportive friends who are already planning on visiting me as soon as I am settled and have my own place. To name a few see below, honestly we never drink normally....
I should write all about the Summer as it's been a busy time for me but tonight after packing my entire life into one suitcase and a hand luggage bag I can honestly say I don't have the energy! However I will begin to blog again regularly as much as I can.
New job, new chapter. A bientot bloggers.
