Hey !

I said, a long time ago, that I would write at least one post in English. Since I have already spent 3 months in England and that today I am in the mood to write in English (I am writing my last essay of literature) I think it is time for me to do it.
I hope everyone is fine and will be able to read it. If not, if it is confused, ask me ! Today it is sunny and cold, it's a perfect weather (with snow obviously it would have been even better).
I am leaving my bare little room in three days. I think I am going to miss it ! What I have experienced so far worthed to bother to come and live in this "strange" country. I wish everyone had the same opportunity. I have discovered here that I am rather independent and that I could live far from my family and my friends. It doesn't mean that I don't love you but it means that I don't need to be physically close to you to remember that you are here for me and with me. I have also discovered a different way of living, thinking, teaching, partying...and so on. I have learnt to live with 5 other people. I think that you learn tolerance here: tolerance to the noise, to the mess, etc...because you have to if you want it to go well.
I am also part of an amazing community: the erasmus one ! Spain, France, Great Britain, Poland, Germany...they are all here like a little Europe within the university. It is nice to walk in the street and to see familiar faces. I feel like am part of something now.
I hope I will see you all for Christmas, 3 weeks, it is long and short so I will do my best.
Have a nice day

Nous avons presque tout compris : ce qui montre que, les années passant, on n'est pas complètement "out".Pour samedi nous avons prévu un "cheese-burger" français c. à d. une raclette, et si tu apportes qq "brownies" ce sera "top".En attendant que tu nous traduise:mood, bare, so far worther to bother...etc, continue à profiter "too much" des qq jours qu'il reste;

"I live in this "strange" country."

"I could live far from my family"

Si tu could me laisser agrandir ma chambre en cassant la tienne se serait simpa vu que tu ne te sent pas trop mal quand tu es far de nous...

"I have also discovered a different way of living, thinking, teaching, partying...and so on."

Suggestion : ajouter "eating" ;)

"I have learnt to live with 5 other people."

C'est bizzare, tu n'a jamais réussi à vivre avec 4 personnes auparavant :p

"I think that you learn tolerance here: tolerance to the noise,"

Bonne nouvelle, je vais te mettre à l'épreve :p

So i just want to say that my English is not better than yours, but i work it at my job because we have a lot of client who does'nt speak french, so we must communicate with them in English or other language. This is most difficult than yours "beautiful litteraly English" beacause we have medical words ! Try to speak in this language, it's funny ! But in consequence i would like to return in England, cause a lot of client aren't french, so i want lurn more this language. See you nest saturday !

PS : Daddy, don't show off speaking english !!

Hey Diane!
This time in english too (you mom asks us to do it, but I apoligize for the fails, I haven't learnt english for years, and it's hard to me without dictionnary)
You're already in Swiss now, but anyway I write in english (german will be for next time ^^)
Your brother (who seems to be God, charming!) is sooooooo funny, but be carefull, he will erase you from home soon!
But I agree with him, do it!
So, my english doesn't come now, I'll try next time to be more talkative!
See you soon my Dianou!!!
