There's something amiss...

Well it's a while since I wrote last, and as there is only 2 days to go (silent scream!) I may not have time to write. This week has been pretty busy. On Saturday, there was an open doors day in Glasgow, so me, my mum and two of my aunts went to the Willow Tea Rooms, the Scottish Heritage Centre and the Art School, then we went to see where my mum and her family grew up before her house was destroyed in the storms of '66, and mum and the aunties had fun reminiscing. Best part of the day for me was going into the pub right next to where my mum's house was and seeing the Stone of Destiny!! Was going to take a pic to show to my French pupils but thought that the concept would be way to hard to explain and if I just showed them the pic they'd be like 'oh, wow, a rock :P'.

Sunday was a day of tidying up and messing about, catching up on X-Factor and watching the second part of Strictly. Gutted that I will miss all of my reality TV in France- hopefully there are plenty of good things on the French box that I can watch huddled up on the sofa on cold winter evenings.

Monday was my penultimate day of work, and then in the evening had a goodbye get together with my uni buds. I'm really going to miss you guys! I've started reading 'The Complete Merde' already (one of my presents from Jennifer) and it's really cool, I had heard of some of the phrases already and had no idea what they meant. Think that will be my 'on-the-plane' reading :).

Tuesday was my last day of work, which was really sad too. It was soo nice, they got me a big bunch of flowers, a huge box of M&S chocs and a pink beret style hat which I already love. They have asked me to send them a pic of me in the beret with a baguette, a stripy t-shirt, some onions and a bike :P. After work Chris came to meet me and I bought a new digital camera, which brings the amount of cameras I'm taking with me up to 3- my Flip (for vids), my webcam (for Skype) and now this one. I think I will have to carry them all in my pockets as my cases are absolutely crammed!

Yesterday was a morning jog with my friend from school, then an emergency appointment at the dentist due to my toothache. He told me I need a filling in one of my lower teeth but that my upper teeth (the ones I thought were hurting) are fine. I need to go get some special mouthwash from the chemist today. Also should refrain from tucking in too much to that big box of chocs.

Just two days to go now, and I feel it still hasn't really hit me. Chris is coming with me to the airport on Saturday- maybe when I'm leaving him behind and heading through the terminal gates that's when it'll really strike home. It's weird, as this week has been all about seeing the people I'll miss, but as it doesn't feel real yet I'm saying goodbye without really feeling like I'm going.

A final note, here's two little ladies I'll certainly miss, although they have no idea I'm going anywhere and certainly no idea what goodbye means.
Merrie is at the top there clinging on to a scarf and Pippin is at the bottom rolling about in her usual promiscuous style. These aren't the cutest pics of them, but they are pictures that show their characters and remind me about all the little things they do that I will miss!
