France!

its been ages since i posted anything, which is strange since the last 2-3 months have been full of new developments, important ones affecting my future very closely!

First things first - Im going to France!! I applied for the Assistants d'Anglais program 2010-11 and got through! so from October 2010 to April/June 2011 I will be in La France!

I have been looking around, and hoping i get some opportunity to travel to Europe without emptying my pockets, and presto! it arrived in the form of the Assistanat program! All I have to do is get on a flight (paid for the the embassy!) and go to France! well...teach english to school kids for 12 hours a week. and get paid a pittance. YAY! I have loads of free time, and plenty of school vacations to travel around France and Europe!!

I am yet to find out where in France I am going though - my preferences have been given as Toulouse (to be close to the south so that I can travel to the Mediterranean coast, Spain and Greece!), Grenobles (so that I am close to the Alps, can go trekking and skiing), Orleans-Tours (so that I can be close to Paris, and explore the Loire Valley, visit vinyards, check out many castles which are world heritage sites).

(more on this later)

Second things second - I got through NUS (national university of singapore) for LLM! but first things are first, so IM STILL GOING TO FRANCE!

rest later..
