Learning french
Learning french
I am learning french right now

That is clearly why I''m distracting myself by writing in this thing for the first time in months. Although it is actually quite fun learning french for a purpose, the purpose being that I am going to be all alone in the smelly country of cheese trying to live my life and work my work ( Read more... )

Ahhhh. Snowboarding was cool. I wish I was back snowboarding right now.

Well in further developments to the below post, I now have the promotion, woopy!! It's not even totally about the money (although 30k a year will certainly help to encourage my mad, uncontrolled spending of money) but it's also nice to just be recognised as having a different ( Read more... )
