An internship day

Still a day with familiar trains, familiar work and familiar faces, but a day of new emotions. Here are the impressions of French students about a day of practice.Not lonely on the tramway


7h35 ', as well as all day, I wake up when the alarm clock has not yet sung. A hearty breakfast is a slice of chocolates and a glass of water filtered directly from the tap. It's called proselytizing because there's still time to put something in the belly before jumping on the tramway. If I do not catch the train at 8am, I will have to add another 10 'for the next trip on the journey which takes 45 minutes to get to the practice.

I am the only one who has never been on the public transport web site for road news, works, demonstrations or events. So the time has to bring in more worry about the train running time. In France, employees of public transport companies have the right to strike, but trainees like me do not!"My friend in Paris is still lamenting on Facebook every Sunday night" Métro, boulot, dodo "for the three jobs that most young people repeat every day in the metro capital. , work / study and sleep.

Montpellier has no meter, everyone's favorite means of transportation is the tramway. Perhaps, in the country where 300 days of warm, sunny summer, one would like to enjoy the Mediterranean specialties every minute.

There is only one path from home to practice, but I have dozens of ways to spend time on the tramway. Maybe when I read all 2.3 newspapers that are free to distribute at Gare Saint-Roch, there are times when there are a few things in the sky with some girl in Vietnam.

On the tramway journey home each afternoon, I often observed passengers on the train. It was the young mother who asked her to see if her lunch at school was delicious, as the couple discussed what to watch at the weekend, as two friends asked each other about the score but also when it was light. the eyes of a poor student was punished by the staff for the crime of ticket evasion.

Every job, a joy

An internship day starts with a tab. With both local and national newspapers pouring through, we always have a way to make the job less boring. Sip a chocolat box left over from a Christmas party, discussing a new cotton shirt bought by her secretary, or the most interesting horoscope readings for each member of the group.

At noon, colleagues in the office are always together, then the snake dragon to eat at the canteen. Before we left, we had to send somebody to our office's internal camera, and there were many people lined up in front of the restaurant.

Today, Nathalie and Cathy will be eating in the office. I had invited them two days ago so today it is my turn to have two French specialties colleagues: blanquette de veau and raspberry desserts.

At the office there was a group of sports colleagues, at noon they also ran a few miles around the garden next door. When returning, despite the sweat and to reduce the time for lunch but the spirit of work is more exciting.

Since I shared the office with the secretary, all the clues were right in front of me. This afternoon, Valérie brought a greeting card to her thanks to her secretary write some encouraging words to the daughter of a colleague in hospital. The secretary of the photo gallery sometimes keeps the cauldron going around the bowls to irrigate the branches. Or my colleague Galant was always asking for help from me and Nathalie in putting up the pile of readers.

Dinner of the kings

In order to reward a hard working day, today I passed by the pâtisserie before going home. The cousin Thomas will be very happy with the traditional cake galette des rois (temporarily translated as sandwiches of the king). Especially inside the cake always hide the tiny statue, all shapes. Whoever eats a cake with a statue will have to buy another galette at a later meal.

Tonight Thomas stirred up the "who must be king", must put on the head of the paper crown and be talked to people buying the next time home.

Immediately, he agreed that the next meal will have to invite both Mathieu and his sister Amélie again. Why? Because if a lot of people eat a cake, he will be less likely to be king, because the king is expensive to buy cake, I just like to be the people to eat everyone's cake free!
