End of October holidays!

Hello everyone!

Well, the end of October is here. And no, I take no interest in your Halloween costumes! 
The end of October can only mean a nice week-long holiday and break from the stresses of college life.

Life in IUT2 is good, really getting into lessons now and understanding the content better. My group work for economics got handed in too, which is all sorted. 
Small word of caution for you out there: the CROUS restaurants appear to be closed this week - definitely caught me by surprise. Suddenly having to make alternative plans was certainly not on the cards!
Most of my classmates and friends appear to have gone to all four corners of the continent this week, making me startlingly alone in this big old city. Got a couple of friends dotted about though.

The Centaurs sit 1-1 after a tough loss the other week to the Falcons. Hopefully this weekend will bring about a victory!
There is also a chance to get some refereeing done this weekend with some of the junior matches in the area. Should be great fun!

I must keep remembering to post these. If you see me in town, prod me to write another one!

Ill let you all know how I'm doing soon!

Best wishes

Mike :)

Bonjour la France!

Hello everyone!

Well, the last few days have been rather long and travel-packed...

Firstly, we managed to get delayed at the Eurotunnel for a fair few hours - ended up staying at the Campingîle near Laon and enjoyed copious amounts of steak and fries - excellent!

Today we took the long trip down to where we are staying for a little while. This is in the remote village of Saint Pierre De Chartreuse. It's in the foothills of the Alps and the view is stunning!

Had a really good time so far, French is coming on nicely too, which is a bonus! 

I'll be sure to update you when I move in to Arsonval!

Mike :)
