Today's my last day at Queenswood. Time's running so fast. I'm not really sad to leave but there are things that I'm going to miss. The view for example, the beatiful view that we have from the gardens of Queenswood. The school too, and some of my teachers and friends. But I'm happy with my two weeks, one or two more would have been too long I think. I've learned a lot here and hope my English level improved.
Yesterday we went to Windsor Castle, it was interesting, beautiful and it didn't rain! French Kings and princes lived there. We visited the castle and its chapel for an hour and a half, than we had some free time until 3 pm to do shopping. I took many pictures.
This morning we have started watching a movie because it's our last day and we're going to give a play tonight.

Today it's raining.

Tommorow it may rain too. It's a shame because we're going on an excursion, to Windsor Castle, for the whole day. We're spending our four last days in Queenswood, the end is near.

Saturday we'll try to leave early, in order to have time to spend in London before getting to the airport.

Today's the french national day, I'm quite sad to be in England to celebrate it.



This morning we talked about globalisation in our first lesson. We debated on the advantages and disadvantages that it could have.

Monday, 13th July


This week-end, on saturday, we went to London. Not to have a walk across the town and to visit a museum this time but to do shopping. It was really crowded and we didn't have much time but we had quite a good time.
On Sunday some of us went to Thorpe Park but, since I already went there last year, I stayed at Queenswood. It was a bit boring and not really well organised for those who were staying at the school but I had some free time, which is rare here, so I appreciate it.
Today, Monday, we're starting a new week. Classes have changed, some teachers too, but apart from that our typical daily life here is starting again.
We woke up at 7.00 this morning, as usual, went to the dining room at 8.15 for Breakfast and were in class by 9.15. We had an interesting lesson in which we talked about Laughter and now we're going to have the tutorial lesson.
After lunch, as usual we're going to have our TOEFL exam preparation class.

London, 9th of July 2009


Yesterday we went to London to do a quick walk in the city and to visit the British museum.
We learned many interesting things , thanks to our guide.
We left Queenswood at 9.15 am and came back around 5.15 pm. Around 1.00 pm we sat on the grass in front of St Margaret's church to eat our sandwiches.
The museum was modern, beautiful and full of treasures from all over the world. I really enjoyed visiting it because I don't know much about old civilizations. I loved the Easter Island Statue (Hoa Hakananai'a ).
