Back to the North Pole:)

Christmas holidays are over and I'm back to snowy and super cold Strasbourg...Temperatures this week range from -8oC to 0oC, it's the coldest I've ever seen and I must say that I'm not enjoying it much...Except for the snow...when I arrived everything was white and ofcourse it hasn't melted yet, so form time to time we engage with A. to good old snow ball fighting!!!
The end of Christmas holidays this year also means the end of eating without thinking about calories and the end of sitting on the couch late at night watching films and Grey's Anatomy...the end of drinking coffees with chocolate cookies with your longtime friends...the end of sleeping until noon...and the beginning of studying for exams, dieting, sales(today in France-yeahhhhh!!!!, cycling(I really missed that one!) and being alone in my room- which I hate more than anything else:(
At least I got off to a good start for 2009, my new year resolutions are working so far-but still, barely a week has passed:P
Ofcourse some things never change: P. still is moody and weird, but thanks to my resolutions he won't be getting any more to my nerves!French people are still slow workers, the "doorman"here at the residence always acts a bit like a cave man(however he was kind of friendlier this morning and more smiley:)),the princesses they are...well... princesses as always ...and G. continues to cancel our classes with him, I wonder if we'll ever be taught anything in humanitarian law this year...
Good news for ths weekend:normally R.is visiting, hasn's cancelled yet so I guess extreme cold and snow are not unknown to him(he's German)and they won't stop him from driving some 140kms from Heidelberg to Strasbourg:) I look forward to a fun weekend, he's staying chez moi...so the weekend will be at least interesting, we tend to laugh a lot together!!!

Are you actually French, or just living there for now? I am jealous either way. I love France. I have only been once, but it was wonderful. And I love the French language too. I'm assuming you're fluent? So jealous! Anyway, thanks for stopping by my blog!
