ANOTHER blockade

well, this is the third day there has been a blockade at school. Also this whole week there has been a strike on all the petrol refineries in france, so everyone has been trying to get to all the petrol stations before they run out of petrol. Today was the worst ive seen this week. i was on the bus on my way to school, and then all of a sudden there is just heaps of traffic, and they were all waiting to go to the petrol stations. the line to enter the station was about 2km long. so lucky there was no school otherwise i would have been very late, that bus ride took about 40 minutes, opposed to the normal 20-25 minutes. Then when i got to school, i voted again, and then left school. from the moment i left school, to the moment i got home, it took over 1 and a half hours, as apposed to the usual 25 minutes. we were stuck on the round-about before the over-crowded petrol station for over 40 minutes in traffic. the round about was ony a one lane one, but everyone managed to squeeze in heaps of cars so it ended up a three lane round about. there were also police cars parked on the side of the road to make sure no cars tried to take short cuts driving on the wrong side of the road etc. then there was an ambulance that came driving towards the round about with it sirens on, and we were all like 'this is not gunna work!' . so the policeman came running towards the round about, then started blowing his whistle, frantically trying to get all the cars to make room for the ambulance, and after a minute or so, it eventually worked. once the policemen were there i think our bus driver asked them to make room for our bus to pass through, thank god!
so i got home, chilled, had lunch and ive got the day to chill. i think i mite have a little nap. im tired because lastnight we watched 'crocodile dundee' (in french) and i woke up fairly early.
i wonder if there is going to be another blockade tomorrow. hope so!!!! only 3 more days 'till holidays, YAY!!!

  1. So school is going really well???????????????? Sounds to me like your holiday has started a little earlier than expected. I hope the petrol situation eases for holiday-makers.
