Update learning French and applying for a job!

Hello everyone! Slight update on my life.  I have just completed a CV (Before yesterday I had no idea what a CV even looked like) and handed it out to a restaurant/bar near where I live.  I'm planning to hand it out to a few places around the nearby town in hopes to find an extra job to earn money.  I have also signed up to take over someone's paper run for a few weeks so that will give me a little extra cash.  So everything is going well and I am being very productive and proactive so hopefully I will find a job soon.  
On a side note I have also began learning French.  I donwloaded an app my younger sister recommended to me yesterday which she is using in class to learn French called Duolingo.  I have actually found it a lot of fun so far!  It talks to you and it asks you to talk to it and it has all sorts of activities! I have a two day streak now and I am level two! 

Look how much I've achieved already! Woohoo!


So I am staying positive and being very proactive so I can go to France! I'm so excited! I think I am well on my way.

Goodbye till next time everyone!  I'll keep you posted so follow me to get regular updates!

Iguazu Falls! South America Trip Day Five 😄

Image
We disembarked the luxary bus and collected our luggage. We were dropped off on the argentinian side of the falls near the border of Brazil. We then crossed the border in a van and headed straight to the Brazilian side of the falls. We had a quick munch on some overpriced fast food near the falls then set off on a hike around the falls. I was blown away by the beauty of it all. We did a brief walk, approximately 3km or so. This took us along the side of the falls and underneath the mouth of one section. We got pretty wet so I was definately pleased I was appropriately dressed in wet weather gear. After we completed the walk and took about a million photos we headed back to the shuttle bus to make our way to the hotel. Some of us visited a bird park on the way home where we saw a variety of exotic birds.  The hotel was a little far from glamorous to put it politely. Despite this I had an entire room with 4 beds to myself. As we were now in Brazil the electricity sockets we

Buenos Aires! South America Trip Day Two! 😄

Image
I woke up around 8am and headed down to the lobby for breakfast. I entered the breakfast room expecting to see mostly english speaking tourists. Oh how I was mistaken.  I was trying to make out who was speaking English and couldn't spot a single English speaking tourist. Day two was slow day for me. I made my way out during the morning for a brisk stroll and to take some better photos. I tried to walk all the way to Puerto Madero but was afraid to wonder to far from the hotel and get lost without internet or a map.  I thought risking it by myself, on my first full day in South America might be a bit of a bad call.   The buildings in Buenos Aires are very frenh esque looking and were very aesthetically pleasing.  I ate a burger and chips for lunch, near my hotel and watched a football match on tv inside the burger restuarant. After this I mostly strolled around the streets of Buenos Aires, taking in the South American air and absorbing the culture until I returned to my hot

Buenos Aires! South Ameria Trip Day Four 😄

Image
I began this morning with a stroll through central Buenos Aires to visit the Obelisk and the BA sign along 9 de Julio, the widest road in South America. I did a little bit of shopping and exploring the cities mecca before heading back to the hotel. We met in the lobby at 6pm. We caught taxis to the bus terminal. My taxi entered what they call the "locals entrance" which was made evidently obvious by the amount of people, rubbish and the hovering odour of urine. We boarded the luxary bus after a bit of confusion with which bus we were meant to board. The bus seats reclined right back into a bed and we had plenty of room with tvs for entertainment.  Typically my seat was broken and didn't lock when I reclined it, but as long as I put most of my weight in the top of the seat when I lay down (which was the comfiest bit anyway) I was fine. I did have to take care when going to sit back up so I didnt fly my petit body across the bus like a cannonball. I slept well on the bu
