Day 117-119 - X-Mas Shopping Is Done and Chez Pauline

I was supposed to go to Pauline's on Monday, but I ended up having to cancel, once again, for whatever reason. I played being a geek for most of the day and loved it. It's what I do pretty much every day.

On Tuesday I actually made it to Pauline's! Finally. We had fun, doing nothing really. Michou was there too. I think he's cut his hair and it feels awsome to stroke it. Seriously, I have an obsession with guys' hair... Especially short hair. It feels so nice just to run your fingers through them. He didn't seem to mind, luckily. ^^

The way home, I though, would be a nightmare because of the strikes, but turns out it's really easy even with the strikes. A bit of waiting, though.. Not that I mind too much. I'm still not enjoying the strikes as it's hard enough trying to go to Pauline's as it is! She lives so far from me! :(

Today (well, yesterday) I finished my x-mas shopping!!!

I went with Camille to shop for the last items for x-mas and we did a little shopping, too. I have, finally, all my gifts taken care of!

For lunch we had fondue (<3)>

The rest of the day I've been on my computer. I also Skyped my family to wish them a merry x-mas and a happy new year, yadda-yadda-yadda... It was a good few hours spent talking Finnish. Bad Finnish, mind you! I'm not gonna be able to talk any when I get back! It's a little worrying. Maby I'll learn it again... Or then not. We'll have to wait and see.

For x-mas we're staying at home, but for the weekend we're going to Danièle's sister's house for a few days. They live further in the South I believe. They have slow internet and no telly...! I will have nothing to do!I may just die of boredom...... :S I'll download a lot of music and movies before I go so I'll have something to do! They do have a SAUNA, though! I'm not sure what kind, but I'm looking forward to it!

Day 115-116 - B-Day de Danièle and La Soirée

One thing I forgot to mention in my last blog was that we had a soirée on Thursday evening at school. The evening started at 1930 with a spectacle. Marie and I were still at home at this point and were told about it when we got to school a little later on, after 2100 for the dancing.

The school had arranged a disco/club -type of scenario with students DJing. It was sympa. The music didn't have enough of a beat for my liking, but it was nice enough. I hardly recognised any of them as they were, comme d'habitude, French.

I had a great time, although it was missing something. Marie and I had to leave at 2300 as Danièle was coming to pick us up. I was sad, but what can you do. The soirée lasted until after midnight I believe and it would've been great to stay until the end, but that's life.

We saw Joachim as we were leaving and he ended up, unfortunately, walking us all the way to the car. I'm not a fan of his, along with a number of other people in my class I've noticed. He's just... I dunno. He just is. Nobody really likes him I don't think..

Tomorrow is Danièle's birthday so she held a party last night. Marie and I spent the evening at Émilie and Boris' apartment, watching telly and in my case sleeping. I fell asleep on the couch for some strange reason. I wasn't at all tired before but I ended up asleep in front of the telly.. First time in a LONG time I believe. We returned around midnight and I hit the sack as soon as I got in.

Today we had a birthday lunch for Danièle. Émilie and Boris came over and we spent an hour eating. It was delicious, though. We had Pina Coladas with appetisers. It was a bit on the strong side, but good all the same.

I was supposed to go and see Pauline today, but the damn RER is still on strike! In the words of Pauline : " les francais sont tres lazy donc ils ont inventer la greve -_-'''' ". This was a direct quote from her reply to me saying I'd not be able to make it. I agree with her in a sense. But that's life. You can't always get what you want. :(
