France - je sais (presque) faire des montages photos! (19/05/2006)
Alors voila...avec bcp de retard quelques images du weekend passé dans la Sarthe au mois de Novembre 2006 (euhh oui je sais ça remonte, mais je fais avec les photos que j'ai !).
France - Comment finir l'année sans beauté!! (26/04/2006)
Pas vraiment le tps de poster...et pour cause: 12 partiels qui commencent dans moins de deux semaines, auxquels s'ajoutent 4/5 projets (et pas des moindres!) à rendre pour la semaine prochaine...je vous laisse imaginer mon état!
France - Suite des démarches (26/04/2006)
Les démarches pour l'Australie continuent...pas facile de penser à tout avec les exams qui arrivent! Mais voila je suis acceptée at the university of Wollongong ;-), j'ai recu ma lettre aujourd'hui (enfin pas email)...mais petit bémol. Certes je suis acceptée...à condition de bien vouloir PAYER! Y avait longtemps... Donc je me retrouve à débourser encore ASD$ 157 pour l'assurance de l'université (bien entendue obligatoire!). Bon encore, s'il y avait que ça...mais nan! Il faudra ensuite faire faire mon visa étudiant, coût: ASD$ 450, rien que ça! Bref j'arrête de parler d'argent...
Sinon pour le reste, j'ai eu mon TOEFL, avec un niveau plus que satisfaisant pour moi, donc c'est le principal! (même si au final j'ai eu la confirmation que je l'ai bien passé pour rien!).
Suite des aventures au prochain épisode...
France - Courtes Vacances... (13/04/2006)
Ahhh...voila enfin une bonne nouvelle: les vacances de Pâques, quoi que ces dernières semaines n'ont pas non plus été de l'ordre des grandes semaines de travail, mais bon, quand même! Je me retrouve donc bien paisibile, à Rueil...avec cette foutue rage de dent...(c'est juste une petite parenthèse). Il fait beau...les transats font à nouveau partie du paysage jardinesque! Bref que du bonheur!
Sinon pas de grande nouveauté...les projets avancent doucement...la fin de l'année arrive progressivement!
France - Chaotic (05/07/2006)
...life has been "regular"...nothing really good...nothing really bad...i'm not feeling really good...i'm not feeling really bad...i'm just living... it's weird...i've been working for more than a month now...i got some money! hehe! a few more weeks to go and vacations will come...i can't wait! i'll see Bettina and the other austrians...then a lot of nice plans too. But for now... on saturday my friends and i went at my friend Elise's place to celebrate Audrey's bday! France won against Brasil that same day! The whole country was acting crazy, and we were part of it! We'll see how it goes tonight against Portugal...i don't want to bet anything as some ppl do...we'll see... Then i worked again and again...i'm happy because ppl are nice at work! I really get along with my "collegues" even though most of them are 40ish, i don't mind!
Then...important thing...Blanco has arrived. I went to pick him up at the airport at 6am this morning...i totally lost my mind...got lost in the airport...found myself running to cross the whole terminal because i parked my car at the wrong place and was already late! Luckily, despite the plane was earlier than it was supposed to...it took him a very long time to finally go through the customs, get his suitcases back and get out of the place. So...i had to wait for one hour...but it was ok! Paris, traffic jam, highway, breakfast, croissants, rest, lunch, Paris, warmth, traffic jam, packed places, Paris, traffic jam, home, rest...weird day...like a "ceguera blanca" (white blindness)...i got this book from Blanco..."Ensayo sobre la ceguera"...as it can be guessed, the whole thing is in spanish...it's gonna be tough, but i'm sure i'll manage to read it!
Other than that...life has been chaotic for my family...my sis got the results of her "Bac" (end of high school exam that you need to pass to go to university), and she failed...which means she'll have to repeat another year (she already did)...high school again and again...i feel really sad for her...that sucks even more because she got the results of the business school she applied to and...she was accepted!!! (the tests for those and quite hard...so that proves that she's not stupid! i knew it...but i think it's good for her self esteem!)...my father got really mad at her (well at the whole family actually), left the house yesterday in the middle of the night...right... Also...my sis' bf, Antoine, didn't pass the exam either...i dunno...i hope things are gonna be okay for them...
France - So, so, so much to tell ! (16/06/2006)
So...so...so...so much to tell... I haven't posted on this blog for such a long time (didn't i say that last time already?)...but well this is how life goes...busy times busy times... I've been home for more than a month now and a lot happened... I got a first job at Geox (shoes)...i stayed there a week and quited for a better job at BHV! The BHV is a kind of department store...and i'm responsible for the underwear for men! hehe...sounds interesting hey? it is indeed except when old ugly perverts come to buy...i won't say what! I started this job on tuesday the 6th, and it is until july 31th, which is perfect!!! I work 35hours/week (the maximum you can do in France...for those who don't know), which also means MONEY!!!
What else...? i've been to Lille once to look for an appartment for next year...Cam and I didn't find anything we liked...BUT Cam's mother found us THE perfect place! It's right in the middle of Lille...perfect location...! so well...you guys know where to stay if you ever want to visit ;-)
Now...let's talk about nice things: VACATION! I already planned it all! I'm going to Vienna on the 1st of august visit Bettina!!! (finally!!), i'll stay there until the 9th, then we'll both go to a festival in Budapest, Hungary for a few days. I'll be back home on the 13th, and i'll leave again on the 14th to bretagne with my friends...a week of crazy stuff! and then 10 days in corsica with my sis, her bf and a friend of us!! sounds like an awesome month!!!
And just one more thing....i'm very very very happy to see Bettina, Blanco, Hector and el nino de mis ojos very soon !!:):)
France - Back home (13/05/2006)
This is gonna be a very long post...a lot to tell ;-)
I left Edmonton on the 29th of April. Stupid me. I didn't wake up...well i did...but 10 minutes before the shuttle was supposed to come take me...mmm...no need to say i missed it (oh btw it was at 5.20am...so...). Anyway i managed to catch the next one at 6.20am, gloups, my flight was at 8am...but it was a local flight as i was going to Montréal, so it was ok. It was weird to say goodbye. Pavel and Hanna were there...
I was in Montréal at about 3pm, local time (so 1pm in Edmonton and 9pm in France). My parents were there to pick me up :) then i wrote a few stuff about our trip in Quebec, but i have it saved on my laptop only...so i guess i'll transfer it some other time, and make it a whole post itself :) it'd be better!
Now...France. I arrived on monday the 8th, May. A cab was waiting for us, and took us home. I didn't even have time to rest 'cuz i went with my grandma and my aunty to get my car back (it was at my grandma's, southern Paris). Thankfully, Steph came with me :). On the way back, we droped by at Vincent's to see Tèf (Claire, just in case ;) ). It was already late afternoon when we got home, so we stayed together waiting for the others to come (steph was having a "very last" evening with ppl before leaving for the south on tuesday!). We had a nice "fondue au chocolat" (chocolate fondue...? note sure how to say that)...yummy!!
Next point. Tuesday. Steph left very early in the morning. I spent the day running around. Exhausting. I first went to the mall to get a new cell phone, but i had to come back home to write the number on my resume, then went to the mall again, and went store by store to see if they needed somebody for summer...it was disapointing. If i want to find a job, i'll probably have to work in August too!! Well there's nothing sure because i have an interview on monday (they called me yesterday !!), and if i get this job it'd be only until the end of July! It'd be perfect!!! That's exactly what i need, and moreover it's not far from my place! And if not, i might have a possibility to get a job through my dad...i'll see...
Then...i had a cool evening with Tèf on wednesday. We had dinner with Michèle et Gillou (her parents ;-) ), and then i helped her with english...hehe...it's was fun even though i'm loosing my english so fast!! i'd like to speak english more often...but for ppl it'd wouldn't make sense, they'd only laugh at me...so...i'll wait for my international friends to come visit me and talk to me in english ;-), but i really want to keep writing this blog in english...it's still a good pratice!
Anyway. Thursday. I made such a stupid mistake!! I forgot my mutti's bday!! shame on me...i was planning to go to Lille with Cam to look for a new appartment for next year...and i totally forgot her bday! argghh!! i realised it when i was already at the station! so i decided to go anyways (i called my mom of course!), and went back home in the evening...i spent half of the day in the trains (TGV, RER, métro...and bus!), but well it was worth it. We went to the restaurant with Pikit (my dad), Mikit (my mom), and Soko (my sis) ( i know...weird nicks ;-), don't ask why because i don't even know myself).
Yesterday was based on the word "glande" kinda (which means doing absolutely nothing all day). Rouk (my sis' bf) came visit me (yep he always do, he's very funny with that). and then i went to my ex's, before the concert. He had two tickets for a concert in "Café de la danse", Paris 11. I don't even remember the name of the artist...i found it "ok"...some songs were funny and everybody started to dance (it was raï, music from Algeria), and most of the ppl where from there.
It feels weird to be back here. Yesterday was the first time i really went back to Paris (i mean downtown). I felt as if i was in another world. Ppl around were stressed, walking sooo fast (or running!), and sooo many ppl! I couldn't walk quietly on the streets...so much noise...ppl pushing you. But well...it's Paris...I guess i'll have to get used to it again...but it's gonna be hard, because i just want to feel relaxed, to enjoy simple things like walking in the streets, or just listening to ppl when they try to be nice with you (ok this is rare, but it happens...sometimes ;-) )...ahhh nostalgie nostalgie!
