Katie's Parentis-en-Born Blog
I guess the first thing I should do, really, is introduce myself to any of you lovely TYA-ers who may be reading my blog. My name’s Katie, I’m currently studying English with French at Nottingham Trent University and I’ll be spending my third year as a language assistant for the British Council at a Lycée-Collège in Parentis-en-Born, a small town just south of Bordeaux.

My first time in Paris (and certainly not my last)
Saturday, 10 March 2012My absolute favourite experience so far has to be my trip to Paris. Liz and I spent a weekend in Lille and Paris, from February 3rd-6th, just as the “Big Freeze” hit France. I’ve been keeping a travel journal throughout my time here, so I have decided to copy up my thoughts on the City of Light and share it with everyone at thirdyearabroad.com.

The last 5 months in less than 400 words.
Saturday, 10 March 2012Leaving it 5 months before posting an update about my Year en France definitely wasn’t intentional, my only excuse is that routine took over and I no longer felt that I had anything of interest to say. However, after speaking with a lovely lady on my flight back to France for the final time, I realised exactly how wrong I was.

Katie's Prep for Parentis (Bordeaux)
Tuesday, 06 September 2011With a little over 2 weeks to go before I jump feet-first into the biggest adventure of my life so far, I’ve decided to take advantage of a rainy afternoon and start writing my blog…Well, after baking cakes, spending an unnecessary amount of time on Facebook and every other form of procrastination that, as a student, I have managed to perfect.
