Escape to another country

So I have left my Wuthering Heights behind me, and gone off to do some work in France, (Saumane de vaucluse in Provence). I am working as a receptionist intern and work 9-12 and 4-7 mon, tues, fri, sun and basically 8-8 saturdays. This means i get 2 whole days off, and 4 hour lunch breaks 4 days a week. Not bad! The weather in May is already 25 degrees, with a nice cool breeze thanks to the mistral.

The place I'm staying at is 4* and has a golf course, tennis courts and swimming pool, one of the girls I live with has a car, which means we can pop to the shops or local towns whenever we want, and as we have the same days off I'm sure we'll end up taking lots of day trips etc, I mentionned that I'd love to go to St Tropez...

I'm not far from Avignon so intend to visit that soon, maybe catch up with some people from uni who are still studying there at the moment...

Im feeling quite happy, its gorgeous weather and the job is good, obviously Im struggling a bit, not knowing how the place runs etc, but I'll get used to it gradually and hopefully my french will come on leaps and bounds... I really am trying to work at it, so I can get much better grades next year in Uni.

Apart from that everything else in my life is pretty quiet, had to leave manchester which was a bit sad, but no one is staying there in the summer really, so Id much rather be here anyway. I'm going to miss the nightlife a bit though! and my lovely housemates :(

I'm pretty sure lots has occured since my last blog, but you can't always mention everything or keep playing catch up.

At the moment, la vie est belle, we'll see how 6 days in a row at work including the dreaded busy saturday change that...
I don't have the internet in my appartment, so blogs will not be too regular (not that they ever have been) but maybe that will give me the inspiration I need to be bothered to write. I went on facebook not having been on it properly for about 4 or 5 days, and I can tell you I didn't feel like I was missing much!

I highly recommend the life of southern france.
