Hello everyone!
This will be my blog while I'm in France working as an English Teaching Assistant in a small town called Tergnier for the next seven months. Tergnier is 80 miles northeast of Paris, and is home to about 14,000 people. I'll be sharing a two bedroom flat with a German language assistant named Tabea, and assisting English teachers in several primary schools around town- that's kids ages 8-11. I'm capped at working 12 hr/week, so I'm hoping to find other fun things to do like farm work, maybe take a class, maybe learn to play the spoons. I'll leave Berkeley on Sept. 22nd for a week back east, then leave for Paris the 29th!
So yes. Please enjoy my Fr(ance)(bl)og and make sure to shoot me an email with some news from your life when you can. (My email address is m.olneyhamel@gmail.com) And of course, if any of you find yourself in Paris with nothing to do, call me up and you can come stay with me and Tabea. I received an itemized list of every item in our apartment last week and found out we'll only have 2 teacups, so BYOTC.
À bientôt, vous me manquez déjà!
Just think, if you only have one tea cup each then the dishes can't pile up and that is reason numero uno for conflict between room mates - dirty dishes.
