IMPORTANT NOTICE: From now on this journal will be friends only. This is not for any particular reason, just for several reasons I've been thinking of for a long time that have made me decide I no longer want to keep a public journal. If you're not on my friends list and wish to be there - either because you've enjoyed reading my journal while it ( Read more... )

By the way, here's a meme via lots of people which amuses me... I kinda wanted to rewrite some of the questions, but I don't have the brains to do so now, so take it as it is ( Read more... )

I hate it when you're incredibly tired and need a nap, then you have one and wake up feeling like your brain has taken the opportunity to go hibernating. I'm now seeing how many cups of tea it takes to wake it up, as there's stuff I was kinda planning to use it for before going to sleep again ( Read more... )

I bought four new CDs yesterday and am still listening to the Rasmus. Well, it's better at waking me up than Norah Jones is... The guitars and the fast beat and all, you know ( Read more... )

A cool meme begun by amea and taken up by lots of people (and yes, I'll try to answer this for all of you, I just need to think about it first):

Which literary or movie character do I remind you of most, and why?

It's extremely evil of the French to sell everything in big packages. I wanted a Mars bar the other day. I had to buy a package of six Mars bars. Now I'm eating a Mars bar every day because I can't resist the temptation ( Read more... )

The interview meme that's circulating has reminded me that I had a bunch of interview questions from nightangelca and my answers to them stuck on my hard drive. She gave them in last July, I think... Um. Well, I took a while to come up with answers to certain questions and then I got very busy and then I moved to France and... Yeah, better late than never. And ( Read more... )

I finally dragged myself into the office of Mme W. who is in charge of the visiting students and their study things. Told her I'm dropping the class and changing into free programme. That was okay. When I asked her how things are with the French Dissertation class (a.k.a. the Bitch's class) and the European Week in March, she said that in fact I ( Read more... )

Something I've noticed lately: the French seem to be habitually talking about the Iraq war as "the Second Gulf War" and thus talk about what I call the Gulf War as "the First Gulf War". I haven't seen so much of this in Finland or in the English sources I've read. I don't really know what to think of it. Partly it was "finishing the unfinished ( Read more... )

It's over! It's over! My exam is over! *does a happy jubilatory dance* I think it went okay, too.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do for the rest of the day. I have classes in the afternoon and the early evening and there's no point in going home in between, but now I don't have anything I should go to study in the library, so I can do ( Read more... )
