Finally getting somewhere...

I finally feel like I'm actually getting through the list of things I have left to do. Today we went to the bank to open a French bank account, as I need an account for my salary to be paid into, and to pay the rent, phone bill etc out of.

I walked into the bank and made an appointment for next Tuesday. (I was offered Friday morning, but we can't do that, as that's when we're moving into out house) We walked out of the bank, and Dave said "That was too easy, I think you should go into your college."

So we walked up to my college, I went into reception, and I asked for Marie-France (my responsable - the English teacher who I have been contacting this summer). An English teacher from the school came to find me (the school and the college are joined together), and took me to the English department in the college. Marie-France was teaching, so the English teacher looked up her timetable, and said that she would be free in 45 minutes, could we return then?



So we nipped to a café for a drink, and some shade because it was swelteringly hot again today. Then we went back, and I knocked on the staffroom door, and asked for Marie-France. Marie-France came out of the room, and we spent a good 10 minutes talking, mostly in French.

I am going back on Monday at 10, to sign some paperwork, and she will introduce me to the headteacher and the other staff.

I don't know what we will be doing tomorrow yet. If Jordan isn't working, I could have a riding lesson. I would also like to pick up some French sim cards, as everybody wants to know our French numbers, but Dave isn't sure we need them yet, as it's an extra cost, and we will have a house phone at our house when our phone line is set up.
