Where did the last month go?

Clearly I was busier than I thought, as I haven't managed to post here for a month! The last month seems to have been a blur of revision as I attempted to remember enough to survive a three hour exam on Understanding the English Language! No idea how I did, although I did manage to keep writing for all three hours if that means anything.

So now I'm playing catch up on my French course, which was severly neglected during my revision time, although thankfully I still managed a decent score on the assignment which was cobbled together in amongst learning linguists and theorists! With less than five weeks until I head to Caen for my Summer School I need to get my French back up to speed as quickly as possible. A school French course has left me feeling confident at leading French lessons at Primary level, and the feedback from the native speakers who came in on the second afternoon was positive as well, which was lovely. I am also applying for a job shadowing opportunity in Toulouse, which would be fantastic experience as well as being really useful for the school, as we would gain a link with a school there. I need to apply for funding for the trip, but have a twilight session next week which gives more details.

So - onwards! Have put the English course behind me (until I know if I need to resit!) and need to spend as much time as possible on French. Amazon love me - I have bought so many DVDs, books and CDs it is ridiculous - now I just need to find time to watch / read / listen to them!
