Chez moi!

As promised, here are some photos of my new digs.  It’s not much, but it’s cheap and I have everything I need.

But first-

Ma valise est arrivée!!!

Okay, now that I’ve shared that awesome news, on to my surroundings…

The view at the front of the school

The prettiest building at my school

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This building is used as administrative offices.

The building I actually live in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My room!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little sink area at the front of my room

Shower room, right across the hall from me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

laundry room, right around the corner, and it's free!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The awesomeness that is the kitchen!

So, this is where I live.  Note that the kitchen has 2 full size refridgerators, an oven, a 4-burner stove top, AND a microwave!!! Also, there is a coffee maker, so I am really set here.  I can even cook, as soon as I get a bit more comfortable in the supermarkets.

About whimsicalwanderlust

I graduated from Georgia State University in 2004 with a BA in French with a concentration in International business (for those of you interested in running the numbers, that places me squarely at 28-years old). :) After 6-years in the private sector, I found myself with a steady, middle-class job - but completely unrelated to my college degree! (le sigh.) I bit disappointed in my lot, I started searching for a way to jump-start my French/language career - and stumbled upon a wonderful program known as TAPIF - or Teaching Assistant Program In France! I completed the application process and voilà! - 4 months later, I received an acceptance letter, confirming my 7-month contract as an "assistante de langue, école primaire" in the "Académie d'Amiens." This blog is a chronicle of my adventures navigating France and the French culture, educating "les enfants," and (hopefully) finding my niche in a more language/travel/culture-esque career.

    Looks awesome! Glad your suitcase finally arrived but kinda glad you didn’t have to haul it around through Paris. As soon as I can get my computer to cooperate I’ll set up a skype account. Maybe I’ll go try that now.

      Thanks, Patty! Yeah, I’m REALLY glad I didn’t have to drag that big suitcase through Paris. Get Skype! And put it on your phone, that way we can Skype chat from anywhere! (It will almost be like texting for you) :)
