Dissertation down, bam!

Well, sort of. I’ve used too many words from the thesaurus to prevent sentence after sentence coming out the same. Oxford is a sobering change from Paris, I have no idea what I plan to do with my Summer. I’ve been so occupied with France, that the idea of returning to England [...]

I think the heat is getting to me

I woke up last night and tore part of the light fitting from the wall. I’m not sure why, but I remember thinking that it was very important at the time. God help the person who I end up sharing a bed with.
Much fun was had at the picnic. It was my [...]

Tourte

Well I feel like I ought to post something really as I’m attending this picnic in the 20th… can’t have people reading 5 month old posts. It’s a shame I can’t title this post épuisé, because in comparison to whenever I decided to post last, I’m absolutely bloody knackered. With a dissertation to [...]

Pressé

I know I know, I haven’t updated in quite a while. And although I’m sure you’d be riveted by the intricasies of the last few weeks before exams, I don’t really have the time to go into them. As it turns out half the Erasmus students have done Maths degrees, and as such [...]

épuisé mais ravi

I played football the other day for the first time in about 10 years. I’m not exactly sure how I ended up agreeing to participate, but it quickly became apparent that it was not going to turn out well. I probably should have cottoned on when the two Italian guys had football boots [...]

Karaoke mugshots

As promised, pictures of the new hit sensation composed of myself, Maitresse and Julie.
We don’t look at all happy in the second one, I think it was after a few beers… next time there’ll be costumes and backup dancers I swear.

Branché

 
Adrift no longer
Platonic shadows scatter
I exist again

Oh yeah? Well I think the real question is when is a haiku not appropriate?
So, 16th century Japanese poetry aside, I’ve been given a mobile phone! Reassimilated back into the collective, my societal umbilical cord is firmly back in place. Big shout out to Maitresse (it’s [...]

Savoir-vivre

Scarfed and shirted up, we went along to the forum dinner last night, only to find that there had only been 4 places booked for 56 students. A few angry phone calls later and blame duly assigned, we were left to our own devices in the 13eme.
Meandering down the Rue des Cinq Diamants, we [...]

Ca te dérange?

Lebanese neighbour: “Hey could you help me with something?”
H: What’s that
LN: I just want to stick these roses up in my room
H: Sure
**Ohh, that’s nice he wants to put some flowers up for a possible girlfriend**
LN: I want to stick them on the roof next to my corpse bride poster so it looks [...]

C’est chiant, quoi?

I’m not speaking nearly enough French, I really need to be disciplined.  All the erasmus students hang out in their respective hoards using English for any diplomatic purposes.  I’ve had to take drastic action, and joined a choir, and the ENST forum, AND I’m going to get a language exchange buddy.  Meanwhile I’m spending hours [...]
