I'm really glad that I'm in Bordeaux ! I remember listening to this song "Belgium to Bordeaux" all summer with my niblings and really enjoying it with them and one of my nieces, Lei, really encouraged me to make sure that I go to both places for the song sake. And I can officially say that it has been completed, I'm proud of myself for doing it and happy that my niece encouraged me to do so. Any who, I arrived here last Friday and had some issues with the cleanliness of the hotel and ended up getting a mini sinus infection due to my allergic reaction to the room, but I got it situated luckily just in time for my interview. Aside from that, my period lasted for a week and I had residual period cramps that made it hard for me to sit and stand, but nonetheless I tried to the best of my ability to enjoy walking around and drinking wines. While being in Bordeaux, I realized that I do actually enjoy wines and I understand a little better the different types of wine (after going to an utterly boring wine museum and a petit wine tasting experience). Oh, and me and Naoni went to a mini concert with some random singing group (it was 1 euro, so I wasn't expecting much lol), but nonetheless I was entertained by the show and helped alleviate me post-interview anxiety. Also, I feel like when I first arrived here, I was hating on it for not being like Lyon (my fave French city if I had to choose one), my judgement was more jaded due to my period, and stress from JET interview but with everything out of the way on my last day here I think it's actually a cool city, and I'll miss being here when I leave 😌...
And while here I kept eating McDonald's just about every day because there's none in my class, and honestly it made me happy lol, but pretty much everyday here I was eating a chicken sandwich lol. And my JET interview I feel very meh to, but we shall see the results in late April/ early May (I'm hopeful though, but I don't want to get my hopes up just to be disappointed). Ummm, I can't really think of much else to share with you all...but I just want to say I miss y'all and that we should chat soon and that anyone else that reads this blog just send me a message, I would love just to chat with you (I'm missing my people a little extra these days).
Here are some pics of me and Naoni enjoying Bordeaux
Also peak at Naoni being a total mouth-breather
Yeah mouth breathing cuz I couldn’t breathe because of the sinus infection 😂😂 but I’m glad you liked Bordeaux, ngl I was kind of sad when you initially said you didn’t like it but im glad you came around and realized it’s pretty nice :)))
hehehe im glad you were able to ultimately have fun! i felt like JET stress was clouding my whole vision too, but it's behind us now for the time being thankfully, and i'm sure your interview went great!!
