I'm going to have to be very careful with my pronunciation here!
Last night I was trying to explain to Karina that next week's transport strikes are the result of Sarkosy's decision to either raise or lower the retirement age in the train industry -- I couldn't remember which.
She was initially shocked because apparently I said he wanted to fuck the age of retirement... same thing I guess.
My task while I'm here is to take command of the pronunication differences between "baiser" and "baisser" -- the former being the vulgar of the two and the latter being "to lower."
Luckily I get a break from everything for the "middle of the week off" Wednesday ritual. And no more observations, YAY! The next time I'm in a classroom, I'll be doing the (very repetitive and excruciatingly slow) teaching. We get two more days to play in Nice -- or attend more orientations, whichever wording you prefer -- bon week-end and then hello teaching on Monday!
Also, I've made a list of where I'd like to travel during my time in Europe... If anyone would like to join at anytime, please email me!!
My vacations are as follows:
Saturday, October 27 - Thursday, November 8
Saturday, December 22 - Monday, January 7
Saturday, February 9 - Monday, February 25
Saturday, April 5 - Monday, April 21
End of the school year: Thursday, July 3
Now where I'd like to go:
