Hi all my dear followers!
Two weeks and I am home in Canada to see my friends and family! Minus the dreaded cold temperatures, I am excited to head home :)
This week was the same as most---worked Monday-Friday. However, after work on Friday there was a staff Christmas Party. I think I had high expectations of what my first career staff Christmas would be like. We were given an option earlier in November of two restaurants and a small Italian place in Luton town center. It was convenient for the Canadians who went because none of us drive and it is in walking distance. We had a three course meal, all good food but there was only about 15 of us and most of them were upper management in the school--so it was not the atmosphere I was expecting. However, because a few people dropped out, there was some extra money so we got some wine ordered for our table--which is always good! Out of the Canadians, four of us made it out and we left shortly after desert. Apparently, there is a bigger Federation dinner that occurs in February where EVERYONE comes out and it is a grand ol' time. So I will reserve my judgement on staff parties until then!
I spent yesterday, once again in London doing some more Christmas shopping and went to this awesome burger joint off of Carnaby. It was a Hawaiian burger place....pineapple on a burger is one of my favorite things and had awesome food!
Other than that, there was not much too my week. However, I have decided to go to Paris next weekend! We leave on Friday after work and will have all day Saturday there and early morning Sunday, coming back to Luton Sunday afternoon. I am excited to travel for the weekend and finally get to Paris after three months when it is so close and affordable! It also means that in a one weeks time period I will have traveled in three countries (UK, France and Canada) because one week after I get back to Luton I fly out to Canada!
Final stretch is here!
