L'eclate!

I have known worse times, really. Although uni seems to be more a pain than an enjoyment this year compared to what it used to be, I really have other things to put a smile on my face.

I will be starting a placement in March. Split placement that is. Because why do simple when you can do things in a complicated way? So I'm currently looking at awesome places that would see in me all the good things I can bring them! I sent a few emails around and will hopefully get positive returns. It's all about showing how motivated you are and I think I've done it pretty well.

Other than that, I have now turned brunette again. Because I felt like going back to what I was before, i.e. not blond. It's winter soon, my hair was damaged and I've been thinking about it for about a year on and off so I thought "What the hell?", let's do it!
So I did. And I like it. I feel like for the first few days I can misbehave a little bit and if I get into trouble, nobody will recognize me anyway!

Meeting Christina tonight for a drink in my old hood: the West End. Yes, that's right. I don't miss it but it's nice to be back sometimes. It feels like going back to the neighbourhood where you grew up. Except I didn't grow up there, I just lived there during the two first year of my life in Edinburgh. So yes, it does mean a lot.

I'll say "laters" with this beautiful song by Grandaddy. I don't know in what kind of cave I have been living during all these years, but everyday I discover amazing bands that I had never been bothered to listen to. And for that, shame on me.

Enjoy!

Christina

Saviour refers to a person who helps people achieve salvation, or saves them from something.

Ah, wait... I have something lame to say:

This being said, I AM BLOODY HAPPY.

Catch up

Hello. It's been a wee while since I have written. Things have been going pretty sweetly. I mean, yes, they have. But, there's a but: I realised something. Whatever the situation you're in: good or bad, you always find yourself problem to worry about. Sometimes you do have worries and that's just the way it is. And some other times all is beautiful, you get what you were hoping for and then you just make up your own worries. Just because people do love feeling miserable somehow. People love moaning and getting this warmth in their tummy, synonym of stress and impatience. And by people I -of course-also mean myself. Actually, I'm probably top of the list.

Guess what they're thinking about...

Le passe muraille- Marcel Aymé

This is a book that I studied when I was in secondary school. I really liked it and yesterday I found the translation on internet. They also made a movie out of it with these really good french actors. If you have an hour to spare (it's a short novel), read it, it's a french classic! :)

Routine

I'm sitting at work right now. Not too long until my break finishes. Just a wee update on future exciting plans!
Tonight I'm meeting Christina and we are going to the The Switch at the cinema. We haven't been hanging out for such a long time and it's going to be nice to see each other again and talk like we used to.
Tomorrow night it's a big night for Karo as she is celebrating her big master dissertation hand-in. THE BEAST! Good night ahead! Karo is gonna go all the wayy to make up for the last months of isolation.
Finally, Saturday is the "big ass reunion party". Time to see Annika, and Kris again! Ahhh this is gonna be so good!
Sunday: I'll do nothing. Yasss!
This time, no work during the week end and I'm certainly gonna enjoy my free time to it's full potential!

Good times!
