An American in Angoulême: Here Comes the Sun...and time for me to go
http://la-ou-je-pars.blogspot.com/2011/04/here-comes-sunand-time-for-me-to-go.html
An American in Angoulême. 525,000 journeys to plan. Monday, April 11, 2011. Here Comes the Sun.and time for me to go. Normally Angouleme is cloudy and rainy. But recently, it has looked like this:. It's like a completely different city in the sun. I realized I never posted many pictures of my new home, and even though I'm packing to move out better late than never. Makes me smile every time. View from my window. And now it's time to say goodbye. Goodbye, Angoulême assistants :(. Au revoir, la France.

An American in Angoulême: Don't go chasin' wadderfalls...
http://la-ou-je-pars.blogspot.com/2011/04/dont-go-chasin-wadderfalls.html
An American in Angoulême. 525,000 journeys to plan. Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Don't go chasin' wadderfalls. I already have pointed out that I use a lot of inflection. When I speak English, but I have learned even more about the way I speak lately. Off topic, but speaking of numbers, you know you've been in France too long when "fourty" starts to look like the correct spelling. May 14, 2011 at 1:27 PM. I went there on a school exchange back in 2008! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Au revoir, la France.

An American in Angoulême: February 2011
http://la-ou-je-pars.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
An American in Angoulême. 525,000 journeys to plan. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Getting second guessed by second graders. A few cute stories from the trenches. Some of them involve teachers, rather than students - the staff I work with is pretty darn awesome. Story #1: in which I should have ended the conversation earlier. Teacher: Hey, Megan, what's the word for parapluie. Teacher: Oh, I can't believe I didn't know that! Me: Oh, I bet you did. It was a song, you know. Me: Sure you do! In unison, absolu...

An American in Angoulême: Au revoir, la France...
http://la-ou-je-pars.blogspot.com/2011/04/au-revoir-la-france.html
An American in Angoulême. 525,000 journeys to plan. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Au revoir, la France. I've commented that time seems to move both fast and slow here. I find myself speeding towards Paris on the train, on my way home, when I can distinctly remember posting, "gee, I've already been here a whole month! That was way back in October. When my teacher gave me a bottle of wine and thanked me for all my work, when the kids clung to me and cried. Anyway, the way these things always work is that the ba...

An American in Angoulême: Stop! Hammy time.
http://la-ou-je-pars.blogspot.com/2011/04/stop-hammy-time.html
An American in Angoulême. 525,000 journeys to plan. Sunday, April 3, 2011. Some pictures of my friend Amy (or "Hammy" as the French would pronounce it) having fun around Niort. The best pizza I've ever had, no joke. La dauphinoise, my favorite. An accordion player. I took this picture while walking around la marché. And church bells were ringing. It was my most French moment. I have not the faintest clue what any of this was. Some weird goose parts I believe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). An Englis...

An American in Angoulême: January 2011
http://la-ou-je-pars.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
An American in Angoulême. 525,000 journeys to plan. Friday, January 7, 2011. It doesn't matter what is going on in your life - when you walk up to your school and the kids line up to high-five you over the top of the fence as you walk to the gate, while chanting your name, then mob you for a huge group hug that lasts 10 minutes while trying to give you a bisous. And saying things like "we love you! It's impossible not to feel good. Look, over there! It's my English teacher! Thursday, January 6, 2011.

An American in Angoulême: Pepe's adventures
http://la-ou-je-pars.blogspot.com/2011/04/pepes-adventures.html
An American in Angoulême. 525,000 journeys to plan. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. I've posted several of these already, but I thought it would be nice to have all the best ones in one place :). Pepe relaxes at his favorite pub before our voyage. See you soon Momo! Posing at some of the beautiful stonework that's everywhere. Fountain at Versailles :). Reflecting on his trip at La Rochelle. Posing at school, he wanted to put his face in the Mona Lisa but he's too short! Planning some lessons in between classes.

An American in Angoulême: Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?
http://la-ou-je-pars.blogspot.com/2011/04/buddy-elf-whats-your-favorite-color.html
An American in Angoulême. 525,000 journeys to plan. Monday, April 4, 2011. Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color? One large cultural difference between France and America: while passing strangers in the street, you don't look them in the eye and smile at them or say "hey" for no reason. It's interpreted as creepy, or a come-on, or a red flag that you're an American. I have the following in common with Buddy the Elf:. And, like me, he never really knows what's going on, but he's happy anyway. Hope is ...

An American in Angoulême: reTOUR to TOURS (get it?)
http://la-ou-je-pars.blogspot.com/2011/04/retour-to-tours-get-it.html
An American in Angoulême. 525,000 journeys to plan. Monday, April 4, 2011. ReTOUR to TOURS (get it? I went to Tours again over the weekend to see my little buddy Gwenaëlle. On Saturday night, she had a party for one of her friends and this amazing photo was taken. We really liked this photo of ourselves. Sunday was a music day! One thing my ukulele has caused me to notice: 100% of people here in France know that "Chupee" song by Cocoon. It's a really cute song - see below:. Au revoir, la France. The Worl...

An American in Angoulême: Vice Versailles :)
http://la-ou-je-pars.blogspot.com/2011/04/vice-versailles.html
An American in Angoulême. 525,000 journeys to plan. Saturday, April 9, 2011. Considering that the Louis XIV period is my absolute favorite period of French history to study, I was totally geeking out all day. It's probably good that I went alone, so that I didn't annoy a companion by turning to them and saying, "hey, did you know." about every 3 minutes. It was worth it.
