Imparfait, passe compose...ahhh why sooo many tenses???

Well I spent my first week in French land and I survived, but I must admit I was a bit tired....going right from school to Ste Annes was a bit stressful, especially with resumes and interviews in the middle!
But I got good news this week, I have a term for next year....well alteast half of it....from Sept until Jan I will be a primary French immersion teacher!! Yipeeeeee!!! I am going tobe working at Dwight Ross......I must say i am excited to be able to start things up, rather then come in mid way!! I get my keys and meet with my new prinicpal tomorrow...and will get to see my new classroom!! Then back I go to French land.
This week in French land there were a few interesting moments.
Monday night we all had drinks and signed the French only contract....which essentially I am breaking right now....oppsies....
Wed night we went out again and had more drinks.......are you all noticing a theme?? Thursday night we all took a night off from the drinking...however our crazy roomate didn't. This 50 plus maybe closer to 60 gentleman...decided that at about 2:30 he woudl start swearing about Stephen Harper...and how he raped the province of NS.....and was going in and out of French and English.....in a deightful display of his political preferences....after listening to him rant and rave outside my window while he was having his smoke...I decided to SLAM my window....hoping he'd get the point. oh no not this guy....he'd rather come into the residence and keep swearing as he was doing loops around the residence halls.......I had to hold myself back from throwing shoes at him....
The next day he proceeds to miss our first class with nancy macleod.....after lunch when he was confronted...he explained that he didnt' remembner anything....LOVELY....I told him in my lovely french BOIS PAS CE SOIR....si tu bois....je pense que je vais frappe TOI.........I am sooo nice......Chantal will understand what I said......basically I threatened to beat him if he drinks again......so this guys name is old drunk guy......yeppers.......first night....old drunk guy got an advertissement....because he wripped up the contract not to speak english...and the proceeded to speak english after we weren't allowed....and let me just say...NO one gets an advertissement the first night......
Oh my....other then that....things are goign well. I just have got to figure out imparfait and passe compose and use them when I am supposed too...hahahahah :)
HAPPY SUMMER...I will update you on crazy drunk guy soon!!
