Sarkozy, t'es foutu, les enfants sont dans la rue!
One of the probably reasons as to why I’m not even slightly better is because yesterday, I was (quite a bit, actually), but nay, yesterday was also Black Thursday here in Lyon. Which means I just *had* to go outside. See, even though France is already infamous for its strikes, thursday the french organized the mother of all french strikes (which is saying a *lot*) to protest the economic...
Day 4 of sickness
and I’m not doing any better. Probably worse since I threw up this morning, and I blame the painkillers I took without eating much, because I haven’t been able to keep anything down. I think in these past 4 days all I’ve had are about 3 bowls of soup, a carton of juice, and a boiled breast chicken. Just took a shower (because the last thing I want is for Petar, the only...
My life sucks
Didn’t make it to the Moroccan consulate today because I might potentially die any minute. I have a banging headache, and my throat is on fire but if I cough it makes both my throat and the headache worse ; my entire body aches right now even though I’ve been laying down almost all day and certainly all afternoon, my temperature is all off so I feel cold but I sweat the second I...
I hate feeling alone when I'm sick
and I feel like I’m dying. It hurts everywhere =/
Horror
dearoldlove:
You know the Monkey’s Paw story, where a family bungles three wishes? That’d be me. I’d first wish for your skinny arms to hug me again. Then for your wide mouth to kiss me. And just as this monster I created would be about to knock, I’d use my last wish to make him go away, leaving me right where I started.
I know exactly what you’re talking about
Complaints
I’m sick again. And my camera isn’t working properly and I don’t know if I kept the manual. And I lost my cellphone somewhere in the room (or so I hope) but I can’t find it. And I have to do four loads of laundry this week. And I’m broke. And my dad is mad that I canceled the tickets to go to Morocco and then tried to rebuy them, but wtf am I supposed to do I...
Way to start the semester
They’re already canceling classes without giving more than an hour’s notice (and it’s merely tacked to a board on a wall), and already making me wake up at 7 am for nothing. Fuck
School is no fun
I don’t like being awake and dressed before 8 am

I wish I didn't have to go back to school
But I do. My last weekend of vacation was a blur of Prison Break and Nip/Tuck and sex and cuddling and good food and I don’t want to have to start studying again =/
The bed bugs are winning
Now they’re hiding at the foot of the bed instead of at the head =( I don’t want to jinx it so I won’t say much, but I think I might’ve found a way for us to move. Crossing my fingers!
Tonight's paella wannabe plate
I was in the mood for paella but a) it’s too complicated for me to make and b) I don’t have the utensils necessary. So I improvised and ended up with something that was damn good, and as close to a real paella as I could get, considering the circumnstances (tried to take a picture but my camera is acting up).
Made rice in the steamer with water, onions, flavor in a cube, some...

The Plan
by Jack Handey
The plan isn’t foolproof. For it to work, certain things must happen:
—The door to the vault must have accidentally been left open by the cleaning woman.
—The guard must bend over to tie his shoes and somehow he gets all the shoelaces tied together. He can’t get them apart, so he takes out his gun and shoots all his bullets at the knot. But he misses. Then he just lies...
Morocco here I *might* come
My getting a moroccan visa is pending my getting my french visa on time. Fuck the french
On Leaving
(my stupidity has company)
dearoldlove:
Everyone thinks I moved away to chase my dreams, but we know better
Morocco here I not come
because apparently, I need a visa to go there. I can’t believe I forgot to check before. Now not only do I feel like an idiot, but all my dreams have been snatched out from my hands =(

I'm a t.v. series Junkie
So far I’m the proud owner of
Seasons 1-5 of Nip/Tuck. I adore this show. It pisses me off that last time I tried to watch it, it turns out that the season 4 finale isn’t working. We’re going to start watching season 5 soon, so I’m going to give it another go. I’ll be furious if it doesn’t work, these things are expensive to stop working so soon! Then again, I...
Because I'm a bum by nature
I’ve loved being on vacation so far. Had the first pub crawl on the year on friday night, monopoly and crazy ass gay club on saturday, Risk night at Heather’s with Pizza Hut on sunday, and a movie tonight. Been waking up at 1pm ever day, watching lots and lots of tv (Six feet under is amazing!), and started going to the gym (feel the burn!). Not so bad, I have to say ; not...
GYM!
I am officially a gym member. And at 59€ a month, plus close to 200 for “frais d’inscription” (a fancy french term that is used anytime they want to extort an exorbitant amount of money from you, the innocent consummer), I sure as hell better be going. LOTS.
Also, have I ever mentionned I LOVE my hairdresser here? She’s super nice and sweet, and does a great job. Because...

yeah. This quote basically sums up my life for the past 3 something years.
What did I do today?
Absolutely nothing. Woke up at 2pm, cleaned up a tiny bit, cooked dinner, watched not one but *two* episodes of Six Feet Under (really good show!) and finally got around to showering at 10pm. Now, I’m about to give myself a manicure =)
Plans for tomorrow : haircut at 11 and joining the gym after (and this time it won’t be a $36 workout like last time!)

Disappointed
because we went to Hakim’s for shisha yesterday with Heather. He hasn’t been there for the past 3 months or so, but we kept going anyway. However, this time not even his partner was there. *And* they made it mandatory to order one drink per person!
I *hate* it when I don’t have the freedom to order whatever I want. Especially since we usually end up ordering at least one drink...
New cheese is hard…
These exams have been…strange. I haven’t been motivated *at all.* I’ve approached them with an I-don’t-care-because-I’m-going-fail-anyway and I don’t know where it came from, since I worked really hard throughout the semester. I suspect it might have something to do with the vacation in between. I’m certain I’m going to have to go assist to the...
I CAN'T SEEM TO CONCENTRATE TO SAVE MY OWN LIFE
This is horrible
Only one more exam left tomorrow
Droit Civil 13h30-16h30
Then I’m done! and even though I probably failed everything (and miserable so), I’m still planning on celebrating the failure. Woohoo!
Then I have 10 days of uncensored vacation until classes start up again. I don’t even want to go anywhere. I just want to sleep all day and do nothing else but eat and have fun and rest lots. Yay!
I really need to get my shit back together
ASAP
So I probably flunked my droit admin test
Coming up for tomorrow :
Anglais 8h-9h
Eco-Gestion 10h-10h30
Droit Commercial 11h30-12h30
