Last week, I broke my mobile hard-drive, with all the data on it, some of which I had already clearded from my laptop, including all my pictures and all my music.

You never know how busi you can get over Christmas, but what I do know is that I had a phone conference with my aunt the other day about the Xmas meal, and have things to bake this week-end (chocolate truffles, mince pies, gingerbread, potentially some savory muffins and dips to freeze). On top of it my paper on Moreau's work:

I am done with the only final I have, but still have one paper to work on (about Gustave Moreau's work) that's due when we're back from the two week Xmas break, and an English oral, which is going to be in January, too ( Read more... )
