Todays blog is gonna be a quick one just to ensure that my adoring fans dont get depressed from a prolonged absence! (Of course, I know this wouldn't happen but occasionally my ego needs stroking :P)
All thats been happening in my life recently is Stating (Carole and I made a codename for Smallville so we could watch it and talk about it without the kids knowing.. even though the whole idea is that they watch it, hehe the verb 'to state' [in french perhaps 'stater' following the regular conjugations: je state, vous statez taking the aux. avoir -nothing irregular here! j'ai state+accent!!] means to watch Smallville in a secretive manner), finalising Paris plans (Louisa and I are staying with one of the Beyliers family friends place in a rich area but possibly tiny appartment in Paris) and finalising post-Paris plans. Well, Finalising Post-Paris plans is a bit over-the-top, basically all I got is Louisa is coming back chez moi for 2 nights after that I may be going to Rome at some point, may not. Whatever. Stupid. Plans.
My, whats the word... my, its like estheem but not... morale? My... current feelings towards my situation are (that'll do) that I dont want to leave France in one month. Its sooo soon! I kind of think I am just getting the hang of it. Sure, I spend to much time on my computer but still, I like it. Oh and dayum am I gonna miss the language! I was thinking about the 12 days that the Beyliers are in Dubai, I am gonna forget everything! 12 days... now imagine 7 months assuming I go back and study French straight away! I may never study French again and then what? I'll forget it and never become properly bilingual... Hmm... Anyway, point of this all is that I have to make the most of my time I have left! Somehow...
Alors! Last uni course tomorrow (Its all ending already!!) so I have to go to bed, its 12.03 and I am leaving at 8.10. Not that bad really, but in my current super easy lifestyle, its death.
Goodnight!
*****EDIT*****
Goodmorning!
Yes its 7.00am now and I just remembered its the end of the month and if I dont do my summary now, I never will. Again, I am in a hurry so that kinda sucks but you know. If I have time tonight I might edit or something...
