Hey there!
Well, I was rereading the previous post, thinking that all that rubbish was due to the fact that I was really tired... Well, I feel better now!
First, I need to update on the concert that we gave last week: it was BRILLIANT! I so enjoyed it :) I wasn't so scared, especially once I was on-stage, surrounded by my friends, and the audience was really nice. They applauded at the right moments, and that really encouraged us. Our singing teacher, Aude, told us that she would try to find more dates for us, and that we would get paid for those too! Even if it doesn't happen, that's good news.
The next day, Marion and I went to the French Coffee Shop, and helped Aude and Régis change a few things in the café. And Aude made a cool offer: as she and Régis are going on holidays in Ibiza and won't be there in July, she wants me to kind of replace her, ie, check everything is fine, and check the employee, Jérémie, is doing ok... I'm not getting paid, but she leaves me her car, and I'll get three months of free singing lessons for my trouble. So that's really cool :) Oh, she leaves her house on the seaside to Marion for two weeks, so I'll go there too in the weekends (it's actually a castle, le "Château Rose"...
Now, I really have to start planning my trip to Birmingham and probably Holland as well. I still don't know when I can go, I just hope that I will be able to. I really miss England and my friends there, and visiting a bit of Holland would be nice as well. I wish I could speak English a bit more often... I have already forgotten a lot of it, and writing in English is not as easy as it was two or three months ago.
Yesterday, I took Jérémie to do some shopping: he was in a desperate need of a female adviser concerning his wardrobe, and we spent the whole afternoon (and quite a bit of money) in shops. I'm pretty proud of myself, as he looked quite dashing in the evening! I just hope that it will help raise his self-confidence :) He desperately needs that too...
Well, that's all for now, but I'll be back soon for more :)
