Last times in Oxford

Dear readers,

First, hope you're all ok and that next year, you will go wherever you want to go!
Then, I apologize for not having written sooner but as you may already know, this past few weeks were quite busy and I had (and still) quite a lot in my mind. Plus, the inspiration wasn't really there and I wouldn' t write something to write something...that wouldn't be fair...anyway..here I am, now! (smile) :)

So, so...would you ask me? That's a good question! (smile) :)

Last exams, last essay gave back...last days at the college...last times in Oxford, a beautiful human size city, even if you do the tour quickly, it has its charm! (smile)! :) and quite a lot of "last" something...before as you know, the departure from my dearest country: France!
Last walk around Oxford, last cup of tea, last everything in a way before going back.
So many souvenirs and some good experiences to have the chance to come to Oxford. I wouldn't have believe it in the first place, I did so many good things and I would remember it during a long time and hopefully forever, maybe...:)
Last everything again and in a way, I'm glad to go home but will be also a bit nostalgic...:
Like for example going to Starbuck coffee, or Caffé Nero, or Prêt à Manger, ordering some coffee (Cappucino, Mocha, Hot chocolate: cream on the top?, stay here or take away?

Or buying some dvd at HMV (Fnac equivalent but a bit cheaper sometimes and lot of good occasions), or buying some books at Waterstones, feeling this atmosphere, smell the odor of the books...being in this ambiance..I just love it! with a lot of offers: 3 for 2, or save £3, 4 or 5! or Half price offers...:) which give you envy to buy them! ;)
Or again , going to WH Smith for buying some furnitures we need (envelopes, books, pens, pencils, pochette plastique...)
Or going to the cinema and take a ticket for any perfomance, standard or premier?, front or back?, student?....:)
Or just walking around Oxford, enter in a Oxfam shop and making a little B.A to help them in their quest...and see a smile by doing it!
And also wandering around thinking about something or watching discretly other people around you, trying to understand what they or guess what language they are talking, where they could come from...etc...
Or going to do some shoppings for food in Sainsbury's or Tesco...and always going out of it, with a lot of bags than you have planned! :) mostly because of the nice offers: 2 for £2.50 or Buy one get one free...(smile) :)
Or just look at the window's shops full of clothes with a lot of colors that you could believe (almost) that you're at looking at a painting! (rire)...:) !
Or just to enjoy the simple details of life around you...the famous: "sorry for the wait" when you're queuing a the till, or "can I help?", or "How are you today?"...it a bit silly but always nice to hear.. when you do some shopping...:) and it has enligthened your day as silly as it sounds! :) (smile discreet)!
Or drinking at home a cup of tea,( when I don't forget it lol) accompagny by a good book in english (yes, still!) in which you can't stop reading...! and sometimes accompagny by some music!

And of course meeting my colloc' with whom I shared a lot this year and it's was really nice to meet her. She brought me a lot and I learn a lot with her compagny...:) I could have the opportunity to (re)discover some new things...!:)
Or talking with my dearest colloc' too, about everything and anything at the time...laughing, remembering some souvenirs or imagine how things could be, talking about our teatchers, about essays, how was our day or about films or books we are reading or read already, sending ourselves some texts or writing little notes (I'll miss that ;) ) with the famous "Hi dear" or "My dear"!So, if I haven't say it already, just, thank you dear! :) ;)

Also, with my "famous"expressions: "c'est bon le thé", "c'est bon...", or other things that I was often repeating! Fortunately for her,I reassure you, , she is still alive and survived during all those months (november to June/July) we lived together and now as she going back to France for summer and her studies, and as I'll go to France as well for summer and after going back here , in England, in September (finger-crossed), I'll certainly miss her but hopefully we'll find one day , the time to see each other again! I'm looking foward to our new adventures, either if she comes around and visits me in England, where I'll be or either if we'll see each other in France! :)
And before forgetting, I really like meeting my coloc' and I had the oppourtunity to meet some really nice people in the ISP programm who I'll miss too, people who seems to care about you, who wants to know you better and you know they are good people and would like to stay in touch and maybe see other as well later, one day for a different occasion. :) (smile discreet!)

So many souvenirs encrés in my head and I had some good times in Oxford this year and I couldn't imagine going there and do all the things I did if someone would have told me...

I'm going to leave you know as I have things to do (like my suitcases!) but I'll be back! I don't know when but I'll try during the summer to post a little note or otherwise to tell you where I'm going next year! :)
Take care, and see you soon I hope for a new article! ;) Lots of love to all of you and have a good summer holiday!:) xxx

  1. For you, it's not a true farewell to England my dear; it's a simple "see you later". A couple of months and you'll be there again =)
    Thanks for your words about me; I'm truly moved.
    I wish you all the best for the future, I'm sure you'll do brilliantly. Have confidence in yourself and the rest will follow!
    Love,
    Marinexxx
