Hey everyone! Quick update (mostly because I'm in the library and can't really use french keyboards...). I got my grades in, I'm pretty happy. Here they are ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good break!

My university (henceforth referred to as "uni") has been on strike on and off for the last few weeks. Here's a quick recap of my past month:
10/27-11/4 Vacation. Lovely. Went to Paris. Saw Bobbie. Fantastic. No classes, obviously.
11/5-11/6 (morning) Classes as usual. No French Lit, as my teacher was giving a conference.
11/6 (afternoon)- ( Read more... )

Quick update: I got a 13/20 on my vocab test, instead of 8/20 like I thought. I also got a 10/20 on my Thème Média translation, which is a perfectly respectable French grade. Things operate a bit differently here in terms of grades ( Read more... )

I know I haven't updated in FOREVER. I just haven't been able to really think of anything worth posting about. My life has more or less settled into a routine. It mostly revolves around classes and trying to unwind after said classes. Here's a brief rundown of my schedule:
Monday: Techniques de la Traduction: My class with Francois, my advisor ( Read more... )

So I haven't updated in a week. Sue me. Here it is. Better late than never, right? I'm not going to talk about classes too much yet, that will be a separate post. Don't worry. So here goes...

-Lundi: 9h15 I had an awful Spanish class. I'm not going to keep it. I understood very little and what little I did understand, I wasn't interested ( Read more... )

-Samedi: Good day overall. Got up wicked early in the morning to go to the Marché with Haley. I still love that place. I got a bunch of fruits and some veggies for dinner. This included the most delicious strawberries ever. They were perfectly ripe and delicious. Then we rushed back to the uni and met up with everyone else to go to Mont Saint ( Read more... )

-Mercredi: I slept until 11, which was wonderful. I didn't realize how tired I was. And a lot of that was stress, but it still felt nice. Then I was off to a fantastic Breton meeting. It was the complete opposite of the Spanish meeting from Tuesday. There were only 4 of us and the professor was hilarious! He would start an idea, remember ( Read more... )

Ok, you see that picture in the corner there? That's me. Except a human instead of a cat. I've been so busy lately and the French have to make everything so difficult. Brief update, since I have a week to do and I'm really lazy:
-Sunday: Saint Malo. Fantastic weather, beautiful area. Fun Italians. Good times all around. See Fbook for pics ( Read more... )

A bit more before going to a meeting. I'm trying to get caught up, but I have a lot to write!

After waking up from my *gulp* 3 hour nap, it's time to make my internet work!!!! Apparently to get WiFi (or ANY internet) in your room, you need to pay 19E99/month and to sign up for this service, you MUST have a cell phone. They text you ( Read more... )
