I’ve decided that my sleeping habits have been the downfall to my existence. I’m a night owl and love to stay up late wasting time away and sleeping in really late. By time I get up and moving the day is well half way over for those normal people. I’m going to stop staying up so late and getting up at 9:00am every morning for the rest of my time here in Ohio. I’ve realized that my sleeping habits are the cause of many of my problems in France and the reason why I missed so many classes. That is not going to happen this year. I can’t let that happen as I need to form good sleeping habits if I plan on being successful in Graduate School.

I was lucky enough for one of my friends, Visa Warren, to give me her e-mail and password to the My GRE Tutor website. On this site they have tutorials on how to do well on the GRE and the different sections of the GRE, practice questions with hints and help, and practice tests. You have the option of picking different study plans and I’ve decided that I will do the 6 week study plan in the 3 weeks that I have left until I actually take the GRE on August 26th. I will take two hours in the morning to do “one day” of the 6 week plan and two hours in the afternoon to complete a “second day’s” work in the 6 week plan. I’m also using my Princeton Review GRE review book as well. I think that taking an extra hour a day looking at, studying, and learning words should help me to prepare the best I can in the next three weeks for teh verbal part of the test as this is the most difficult.

Besides using my days to practice and prepare for the GRE test, I’m also studying Catalan using the Parla.cat website. I’ve started at the very beginning of the lessons in the Basic level 1. There are 4 levels: Basic, Elemental, Intermedi, and Suficiència. Each of these four levels has 3 level lessons, which have multiple units. The level that I’m on, Basic level 1, has 7 units.  Within each there is an introduction part, three lesson parts, and an evaluation part. I’m vowing to try and to one unit per day which would put in me into level Elemental 1, unit 2 by the time that I leave for Spain. You can also download a PDF file of the units in each unit. The Parla.cat website is one of the best language learning websites that I have ever seen and I’d love to use its format to creat similar lesson plans of endangered languages that I hope to study in the future!  Along with the Parla.cat website I’m also using the following books to help progress my Catalan language learning along: “Teach Yourself Catalan”, “Llengua Catalana Nivell Llindar 1 i 2″, and “Catalan, A Comprehensive Grammar”.

I also received an e-mail from the English teacher in my elementary school in S’Alqueria Blanca, Mallorca. Below is her e-mail followed by my response in Spanish (which I will translate for the purpose of this blog).

Hi! I’m Marga.

How are you? I am writing from Majorca, concretely from the school you are
going to spend your time in Majorca.
I am the English techer from Mare de Déu de la Consolació, a school in
S’Alqueria Blanca. You are working both in S’Alqueria and Campos, so, do
you know where are you going to live or do you prefer that I give you some
advice? I live in Campos, so if you want to live in Campos there is no
problem in order to go to my school. Moreover there are two more teachers
from Campos working there. So, for the transport, there is no problem if
you want to live in Campos and to the HIgh School in Campos you can reach
it alking or by bike. So, you don’t need a car if you dan’t want to have
it.
Hoping to hearing from you soon,
Marga.

My response:

Bon dia Marga,

Com està? No parlo bé el català entonces voy a escribirle en castellano para practicar lo que ya conozco! Quiero empezar diciendo gracias por haber escritome.  Tengo que decirle que hace mucho tiempo que hablo (y escribo) en castellano. Desde que el mes de septiembre del año pasado, he vivido en francía como auxiliare de conversación, entonce olvido mucho del idioma castellano pero quiero practicar. Entonces, voy a comunicar con usted en castellano.  Si quiere, puede escribirme en catalán como quiero aprender a hablar catalán y quiero mejorar mi castellano. Puedo leer y entender el catalán muy facilamenta por que hablo francés entonces no está un problema si habla y escribeme en catalán.

Bueno, he pensado mucho sobre el lugar donde voy a vivir allá en Mallorca.  El problema es que quiero mejorar mi castellano y quiero aprender a hablar catalán con fluidez. Yo sé que en Palama hay más hispanohablantes (como lengua materna) que las otras ciudades o los otros pobles en Mallorca. Yo sé también que peudo hacer clases de castellano y catalán (gratis) en Palma. El problema es que no quiero pagar por el autobús para ir a Campos o S’Alqueria blanca tods los días.  Ricarod Sanchez me ha dicho que hay quizás alguien qui enseña a Damià Huguet que vive en Palma y que puede quizás conducirme a la escuela.  También, si vivo en Palma puedo hacer más en la tarde y los fines de semana. Si vivo en Campos, creo que teneré una experiencia más cultural y aprendaré más facilamente el catalán. En Palma sería solamente un otro turista y en Campos seré el americano que enseña inglés. Me gustaría ver que piensa.  Quiero también ofrecer clases de particular afuera de enseñar a las dos escuelas.  Pienso que si viviré en Campos voy a ver si puedo comprar un escúter. Por favor de me sus consejos.

Ahora tengo algunas preguntas para usted. Cuantos alumons hay en la escuela Mare de Déu de la Consolació?  Voy a enseñar cual(es) nivel(es)? Teneré cuantas clases?

Bueno, gracias de nuevo por haber escritome! Espero su respuesta.

P.S. Lo siento por mis errores y la calidad de mi castellano.

Translation:

Hello (Catalan) Marga,

How are you? I don’t speak Catalan very well (Catalan) so I’m going to write to you in Spanish to practice what I already know. (Spanish) I wanted to start by saying thank you for writing me. I have to say that is had been a while since I’ve spoken (and written) in Spanish. Since the month of September of last year I’ve been living in France as an English Asssistant, so I forget a lot of Spanish but I want to practice. So, I’m going to communicate with you in Spanish. I can read and understand Catalan really easily because I speak French so it isn’t a problem if you speak and write to me in Catalan.

Well, I’ve thought a lot about where I’m going to be living in Majorca. The problem is that I want to improve my Spanish and I want to learn to speak Catalan fluently. I know that in Palma there are more Spanish speakers (first language speakers) than in other cities and towns (pobles=pueblos in Spanish, I used Catalan here accidently) in Majorca. I know that I can also take Spanish and Catalan classes (for free) in Palma. The problem is that I don’t want to have to pay for the bus to go to Campos or S’Alqueria Blanca every day. Ricardo Sanchez told me that there is maybe someone who teaches at Damià Huguet (my high school) who lives in Palama and can maybe drive me to school. Also, if I live in Palma, I can do more during the evenings and on weekends. If I live in Campos I believe I will have a more cultural experience and I will learn Catalan more easily. En Palmam I would only be another tourist and in Campos I will THE American who teaches English. I would like to see what you think. I also want to offer private tutoring lessons outside of school as a second job. I think that if I lived in Campos I’m going to see if I can buy a scooter. Please give me your advice.

Now I have a few questions fo ryou. How many student are there in the primary school Mare de Déu de la Consolació? I’m going to be teaching which levels? I will have how many classes?

Well, thank you again for having written me. I await your response.

P.S. Sorry for the errors and the quality of my Spanish.

So last night was my last night to sleep in my bed here in Dax. Today I woke up unusually early and started to clean. After lunch I washed up all my dishes and scrubbed my kitchen. I gave back all the things I had borrowed (dishes, blankets, pillows, etc.) and then borrowed a vacuum cleaner and then swept my room. I finished packing my carry-on and any loose ends in my bigger suitcases. I mopped my floor and now I’m just waiting for my fridge to unthaw and for M. Martin to come and check me out. Today, compared to the past week was a lot cooler. It rained and today was cloudy so there was no sun to make it unbearably and miserably hot. It was still very humid and I sweat like a horse the whole time I was cleaning.

In about 45 minutes M. Martin is going to come and check me out of my room. I’m going to go over to Georgia’s for the rest of the evening until a cab comes and picks me up to take me to the train station so I can catch my night train to Paris at 12:07am. I’ll arrive in Paris at 7:10am and take a cab to my hostel, check-in, drop of my bags, meet up with Alissa, as she is staying in the same hostel, and then spend the rest of the day with Alissa and her parents. I’m pretty excited to say goodbye to France and to Paris. My plan leaves on Saturday at 10:20am local time so around 4:20am Eastern Standard time. I arrive in Columbust at 10:23pm on Saturday night. That is 18 hrs of travel as I have two very long lay overs in Dublin and in Chicago.

I’m not sure when I’m going to be able to upate my blog again so you can go ahead and e-mail me, get at me on facebook, or comment this post if you need to contact me! I’ll see you all on the flip side!

So yesterday I finished packing everything up in my two large suitcases and my little carry-on except for my computer and some other electronic stuff, the clothes for today and tomorrow, and some toiletries. I wanted my room to be clutter free so that I could clean today. I’ve been busy wiping down shelves and and cleaning my bathroom. Tonight after dinner I’ll wash up all my dishes and pack them up and throw away all the food that will not get eaten and then clean out my fridge and wipe it out and clean my kitchen area. That way, tomorrow I can just do a final wipe down of everything and borrow the vacuum cleaner and mop and clean my room here in France for the one final time this year. I have to wash my mattress protector and my curtain (along with Alissa’s) and then around 5:30 I have to give M. Martin everything and turn in my key. I’m going to ask Georgia if I can hang out with her until I leave tomorrow night.

Yesterday I also sent an e-mail to Ricard Sanchez my contact in Palma, Majorca to ask him any advice on living in a tiny town without a car. Below is my e-mail to him and then his response!

Hello Señor Sanchez,

After some research I notice that Campos and S’Alqueria Blanca are very small towns and about 15 km away from each other. Was there an assistant assigned to this area last year? If so, where did they live and how did they go about getting to school? IES Damià Huguet is actually outside of Campos on a country road and S’Alqueria Blanca is a 20 minute bus ride from Campos. I was hoping to live in Palma as I really wanted to improve my Spanish (by taking classes) and learn Catalan at the same time. I could see it being possible to live in Palma if I only had the one school in Campos as I’m sure there is probably a teacher who lives in Palma who could drive me or I could take the bus. With having the school in S’Alqueria Blanca this makes it impossible and I will most likely have to live in Campos. How am I expected to get myself to school? I can’t afford to buy a car there. Also, how am I suppose to improve my Spanish in a tiny Mallorquí town that will most likely be strictly Mallorquí speaking? Could you tell me how the assistants prior to me faired living in the same situation or if you have their contact information I’d love to get into contact with them. Do you have information on how to buy a motor scooter and how I would go about getting insurance for that? Here in France I live in a small town and have been very isolated and have had to live by a very sporadic bus schedule. I don’t think I could do that again for another year. What are your suggestions?

Thank you so much!
-Derron

His response:

Dear Derron

I have been thinking a lot about your situation after reading your email. It is true that both the secindary school in campos and the tiny primary school in S’Alqueria are a bit away from Palma. I am attaching the timetable for the bus line connecting both villages with Palma, so you can get an idea of the schedule.

Your best option is to contact both school and will probably find a way round having to use this line a lot, as normally there are always teachers living in Palma and working in school aout of town. It is true that the primry school is very tiny and it is not very likely that with so few teachers many would live in Palma. Howeever as you only will have to go for two days a week to this school the bus is a good option. Anyway, please contact both schools and find out about travelling arrangements.

As school only work in the morning you’ll have plenty of time in the evening to attend either Spanish or Catalan lessons in Palma.

Please, don’t feel put up because I’m sure you’ll find a convenient arrangement to live in Palma and travel to both schools.

Here you are the email adress of the assistant who worked in S’Alqueria Blanca. He was an Australian man who used to ride his bike a lot. His name was Anthony Kneipp and his email address: (e-mail was removed)

Please, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries

All the best

I wrote Anthony and I’ll keep you updated on what happens next!

I’ve been so busy thinking about going home and trying to get the most out of being here in France these last days that I’ve forgotten to give updates on my plans for next year. As many of you know (if you have been following my blog), I applied to teach English in Spain next year and was placed in my third choice location, the Balearic Islands. Last week I called my parents to see if they had received the letter I need to apply for my visa, which would also tell me where I would be teaching (i.e. tell me which island I would be on). My dad said an attempted delivery had been made as it was registered but he wasn’t sure it was my letter and thought it might be something my mom was expecting to be delivered. When I called the next day, my dad informed me that it was in fact my letter from Spain. The annoying part is that I’m in France and my parents don’t speak Spanish. Dad was too busy to scan the letter to let me read it and told me I could read it when I got home. I was too anxious to know where I was so I coached my dad into telling me what the letter(s) said. We were finally able to find the part where it told me where I’d be teaching. I was placed on the largest island, Mallorca or as we spell it in English, Majorca. I’ve been given two schools located in two different cities about 20 km apart!

The first school is located in/near Campos, Mallorca:

Centro Educativo 1: IES Damià Huguet
Direccion: Cami del Ravellar, Finca na Llarga 07630 Mallorca
Telefono +34971160085 Mail: iesdamiahuguet@educacio.caib.es
Pagina WEB: www.iesdamiahuguet.net

The second school is located in S’Alqueria Blanca, Mallorca:

Centro Educativo 2 CP Ntra. Sra. Consolacio
Direccion C. del Convent, 13 / 07691 S’Alqueria Balanca/ Mallorca
Telefono +34971654143 Mail cpmarededeudelaconsolacio@educacio.caib.es

After doing some research, I fount out that the city of Campos is in the municipality or region of Campos. The region itself has about 8,000 people and the city has about 3,000-4,000 people. The city of S’Alqueria Blanca as around 900 people and is located in the municipality of Santanyí.

When I first saw where I was going I really struggled with the idea. I didn’t know that I had the second school and thought I only had the school in Campos. I considered living in Palma and commuting to Campos (38km) by bus on the days I would have to teach. By having the other school in S’Alqueria Blanca, which is 51km from Palma, it would make it almost impossible to live in Palma. I’ve decided that since the bus schedule to Palma from Campos is pretty good on the weekends, I’ll just try to live in Campos and hopefully I’ll be able to get a scooter and use that to get around in my region and area.

My Ohio license will work in Spain for the first three months and then I’d have to get a Spanish license, which costs about €1,500! I figure that if I ever did get pulled over or asked, the police are not going to know that my license isn’t valid longer than 3 months. The only problem is how much the insurance will be. I’m going to have to look into that once I get there!

So Friday night Alissa and I decided that we should end the year in the restaurant where we began the year, my favorite restaurant, L’Orange Ball. Georgia couldn’t join as as she was busy at one of her school’s Kermesse. Fernando and Isabel were having company over for dinner and so it was just Alissa and I.  We headed down to the Centre Ville around 6:30 and went straight to the restaurant. They no long had my favorite salade, Compagnarde, but they had this amazing salad called Salae Gavroche, which consisted of lettuce, white ham, emmentel cheese, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, and this amazing white creamy dressing.  We ordered a big litre of sangria and had pizza and then ice cream for dessert! It was a great meal!

This weekend was La Fête du Quartier St. Pierre downtown so we decided to check out what activities were going on. We luckily finished dinner right on time as a free Cabaret was about to begin starting with a magic show. The magician was very funny and entertaining and his show went along with very upbeat classical music remixes. He used live animals and rabbits and birds were appearing and disappearing left an right. He was really good and had me fooled the whole time as I was trying to be as observant as possible but couldn’t see through his allusions at all. This may be because of the .5L of sangria I had drank at dinner. After the magician there was a group of Moroccan Belly Dancers that got on the stage.  They were absolutely horrible. I’ve seen MULTIPLE belly dancers in my life time having gone to the International Festival in Columbus many years and even having seen on live at North Commons at OSU during a themed buffet night! We actually saw them practicing for something au Centre Ville the following morning (yesterday) and I took some video! Alissa and I ended up getting up and leaving and making our way through town where we hear accordion music. After some further investigation we found that there was an accordion concert going on in the park so we sat at the fountain and watched. After we grabbed a beer one last time at Byron Bay and may our way home as we had to get up early yesterday.

Yesterday we got up and took the bus at 9:00am into town where we bought some food for a picnic and bought Dax Féria (Dax Festival) handkerchiefs (they wear these at the festival).  We also purchased a CD with typical Féria music on it.  La fête de Dax (The Festival of Dax) takes placed in early to mid August, which is sad since we will not be here.  Below you can watch a video of the opening ceremony where everyone holds their handkerchief (like the ones Alissa and I bought) up and sway them back and fourth and sing “la la” to the song, “Vino Griego et Foulards”, which is a very famous Féria song here in the southwest of France!

After doing some shopping and buying some souvenirs at the Saturday market we caught a bus to the train station and then took a train to St. Jean de Luz to go on Le Petit train de la Rhune (Mt. Rhune’s Little Train). Our plan had been to go with Georgia, Fernando, and Isabel but because they all three were very busy preparing to leave France Alissa and I decided to go and had to figure a way to get out to Col de Saint Ignace where the train station for the Train de la Rhune is located.

La Rhune (or Larrun) in Basque, which means “good pasture” is mountain found in the Basque Country on the border of France and Spain. To get to the top of the train one must go to Col de Saint Ignace in France and take “Le Petit Train de la Rhune” to reach the 905m (2,969ft) summit.

Since Isabel and Fernando invited us to dinner at 8pm Alissa and I had to give ourselves enough time to get to the train station for La Rhune and get up to the mountain and back down. To go up and come back down takes a minimum time of 1 hour and a half. A one way trip up the mountain takes 35 minutes and if you decide to hike back down the mountain it takes around two and a half hours. There is a bus that does go from St. Jean de Luz to a town called Sare, which passes by the Col de Saint Ignace. The bus is called Le Basque Bondissant and on Saturdays during a school period there are two buses from St. Jean de Luz to Sare and two buses form Sare to St. Jean de Luz. The first time 9:15am was too early for as we would have had to catch a 6am train to make it. The 2:00pm bus was too late as we weren’t sure we’d have enough time once we got to Col de St. Ignace to catch the train and get back before dinner. We decided to take a later train in the morning from Dax to St. Jean de Luz and once we arrived in St. Jean de Luz we took a taxi for €23 to Col de Saint Ignace. When we go there there was a long line as the station was closed for lunch and didn’t open unitl 1:20pm. we waited a good half hour in the hot sun and finally bought our tickets and about 10 minutes later boarded the train to take up to the summit.

YouTube - Click here to watch my video of us ascending Mt. Rhune

The view was amazing and as we went up we saw a great assortment of fauna, trees, and plants. We saw wild horses, sheep, goats and different types of very larger birds. It was a beautiful day to be going up the mountain. At the top there was a hotel, I believe, and restaurants and a souvenir shop as well as a tiny little monument and a big tower, which I’m sure was used for all kinds of things.  Alissa and I climed to the very summit, took some pictures and then found a spot to eat our picnic lunch we had bought. We had sandwiches, pringles, cheese, and La Mie Câline Super Cookies!  We ate over looking the Spanish side of the Pyranees on two of the many rocks that jutted out form the ground all over the place.We both got stung by some sort of plant or bug and had a stinging feeling for a little while. We went and saw the wild horses that had made their way to the top of the mountain. There were many new mothers and happy new foals and colts. It wasn’t that chilly but we did wish we had not worn thongs and had worn proper shoes.  After about an hour or so we decided to catch the train back down. We talked to a lovely German couple the whole way down the hill and once at the bottom we looked quickly around at the souvenir shop, bought nothing (except I bought a 1.5l bottle of cold water) and then went looking for bathrooms and the bus stop.  We were worried that we would have enough money for the bus and the Post Offic ATM machine was out of service. We entertained the thought of hitchhiking or bumming a ride back to St. Jean de Luz but after we found out it was only €2 for the bus we waited for 30 minutes and caught the bus back to St. Jean de Luz just in time to catch our 5:41 TGV back to dax.

Once we got to Dax we went and sat at a café and got something to drink and talked for about a half hour and then headed over to Isabel and Fernando’s for our last final meal together. Fernando had cooked up a concoction of angel hair noodels, peas, chicken, peppers, carrots, and soy sauce. It was actually really really good. They drove us home late and we said out teary eyes goodbyes as they are leaving us on Tuesday and Alissa and I will not see them before they leave. Georgia will see Isabel at school tomorrow.

So tomorrow is my last day of class and I can really say that I’m not sad at all. The children over all were very cute and I’m glad I got to know them, but really I’m just one person who has come into their life for a short period of time and will move on and they will soon forget me! I’ve actually not been very good at going to classes these past few weeks and have skipped more than I think should be right. I’ve probably burned a few bridges in the process but at this point I’ve accepted that I wasn’t the greatest English Assistant here in France and I’m sure they noticed it too. It is not a sad ending to be leaving the assistantship program here behind and I’m not even all the sad to be leaving France. France, as a country, didn’t leave all the great of an impression on me like Belgium did. I don’t know what it is about Belgium but I much prefer France’s neighbors to the North. I will, however, miss my experiences that I had with the other assistants and miss the assistants themselves. I’ll miss speaking French in a real French setting on a daily basis and I’ll miss the life that I’ve grown accustom to while living here.

Tuesday, Georgia, Alissa, and I walked to centre ville in the blazing heat of the sun to meet up with Isabel and Fernando to have one final meal together in Dax. We went to this Tapas Bar/Restaurant, which was really really good and had a good time together.

Click on image to go see the photo album! Photos are at the end!

We were planning on going to take a trip down near St Jean de Luz to take “Le Petit Train de la Rhune” up to the summit of the mountain and have a pic-nic but since Isabel and Fernando are leaving on Monday they need to use all day Saturday to prepare their departure! We may end up having dinner with them on Saturday night, which will be the OFFICIAL last dinner of the year! So sad!  Alissa and I are still planning on going to the mountain on Saturday and tomorrow night we plan on eating at my favorite restaurant in Dax, L’Orange Ball, and then going to this little festival they are having in town!

Yesterday I was supposed to meet Diana in Bordeaux but actually forgot to set my alarm and never woke up in time to catch a train to go meet her so I’m heading up to Bergerac on Sunday evening and going to spend Sunday evening/Monday Morning with her  before heading back to Dax to start cleaning up my room and packing the rest of my things to leave.  I have a meeting with my bank on Wednesday to finalize everything and then I’m going to take a train on Friday morning (like 12am Friday morning, so Thursday night) to Paris and then I will spend the day in Paris with Alissa and her parents and then I will make my way to the airport on Saturday morning to finally fly home to Columbus!
