Hello
I know I haven't updated for a while, I've been quite busy. Well as you may be able to guess from the title, I didn't go travelling round France, because the Americans I was going to go with decided not to go. So faced with 10 days with nothing to do I decided to come home for a week. It wasn't an easy decision, considering that Dad and Natasha had come out especially to see me, and so I wouldn't have to come home, plus I was worried that it will be hard to get back in to the 'French mode de vie' I was just about beginning to feel settled, and now It's all messed up again. I've had fun at home, and I'm glad I came, but it's weird.
I've settled back into being at home so quickly, It feels as though the last 6 weeks have been a bit of a dream, and they didn't really exist. I've completely lost the tiny bit of french I had managed to retain (I was just starting to sometimes think in French) But now I'm completely back to English again. To be honest, I don't really want to go back. I've loved having my family round, and having dinner with them, and being able to watch TV in the evenings. It's exactly what I was worried about, I guess I just have to wait and see what happens when I do go back.
To make matters worse my tutor from uni is coming to see me on Friday. I knew that we would have to meet with the tutor at some point in the year, but I thought it would be at least Jan/Feb time. When we meet the tutor we have to have a discussion in French. Not only does she want to know how I am doing, but also we have to talk about 'current affairs'....I have absolutely no idea what is going on in France at all. Not only because I have been at home all week, but also because even when I was in France, I didn't actually read any french newspapers or anything. I listened to English radio, and went on English websites. In fact I have hardly spoke french at all! It's really bad, I need to speak more french but I don't know how. I know I should probably be listening to French radio or something, but I love my Radio 1, It's like a little security blanket, a reminder of home.
OK, New resolution...Will try to speak more French (possibly,maybe...If i have time!!!)
Right g2g, but will try to update at the weekend,
Rebecca

Yeah, I know that it's difficult to speak French everyday especially when French people don't tend to be very friendly, but the best thing you can do it's join a Foreign Students Association like I did, not only you'll meet loads of people but you will speak a lot of French also. Regards!
