Warming up for exams!


I had a great weekend.I didn't do mauch, but it was great!
Saturday morning got up quite early and started studying seriously for exams. They are less than 2 weeks away and besides gathering notes, articles to read etc I haven't done much-i've been talking about it for at least 2 months but i've done NOTHING! Around lunch time i took some clothes to the dry cleaners and next to it there is an ANDRE shoe store, know it from my Rouen days, so i thought to go in take a look, since there are still sales(unbelievable sales!) -and i found the brown boots i have been searching about, with 50%off! Exactly what i wanted and they go perfectly with my brown bag i got for new years and with my coat...and with everything:)
Extremely happy, i went back, ate salad for lunch while watching 24, season 7,episode 5!Have i told u it's my favourite show(together with x-files and sex and the city)?I LOVE it!I've been waiting for a year for the new episodes and they are finally here! Studied some more, Marcela drop by for some coffee etc, then A. called me if i wanted tohang out tonight with 2 friends of his and initially i was tempted, but then...i realised the new episode of my favourite greek series is finally on google video so i kindly declined, light up the little lights i bought from ikea,put some soup in the pan to heat(minestrone-new flavour) and poured the final glass from the jewish wine(shalom) girls brought me the other day...and it was perfect!
In the middle of it, Th. dropped by, we drank tea and we chatted.Thanx god not about her failed romance with T., because i really think she's acting stupid since he decided to saty with his gf...We talked about our master here, life, work etc, i like her much more inthis context:P
Then i went back to studying and slept around 1 o clock.
Today i woke up early, ate muesli for breakfast(the crunchy one, with the fruits!), started studying but around 11 i took the bike for a ride around town, i ve been thinking about it for weeks but i always postpone it.Well, i m leaving Strasbourg in a month, so i should stop postpone things and just do them!I went until the orangerie parc, watched the families with the children running around, sat beside the frozen lake listening to music...Then headed downtown and went to "L'epicerie", luckily it wasn't foul yet.Ordered soup du jour and a glass of pinot blanc and copied some notes. There were ONLY couples in there, i was the only one who was , well, only...but i wasn't too uncomfortable, i just didn't know where to look while i was eating. I couldn't look at my notes, window was away from my seat...but i still made it ok:)
When i got back home, i took a shower, then i put on all those creams and sprays that smell awesome and got back to studying. It's going quite well considering that i m still warming up and haven't entered exams period yet in my mind-when i do realise it, i ll go much faster!
And i started thinking...Since i'm going anyway to paris, maybe i should apply for the masters program at assas, for humanitarian law. G. told us that if we're interested about the un etc we should combine our human rights program with a humanitarian one or something like that. So why not? Maybe i'll try to find a job for next year, i dont want to be anymore a full time student living with dad's money and it could work out. I m not sure yet, i already miss a lot my family and friends, but it sounds logical. And i don't have a BF or a steady job waiting for me back home, so maybe i shoul try it, i have nothing to loose. However, i won't talk about it with my parents yet, maybe in easter.
The only black page on my weekend was when i decided to watch a dvd while dining(macaroni and cheese!!!). SAW 3 and 4 i couldn't play them, i dont know what kind of files i downloaded and i dont have the program to play them...Brokeback mountain is impossible to understand without subtitles because Heath Ledger is always mumbling...and i have no other film left unseen (except casablanca, but i wasn't in the mood for it). So instead i watched the pilot from the greek series i mentioned earlier, because i had never seen how it all started, washed the dishes and, well, here i am. In a few minutes i'm going up to A. because she'll give me a Woody Allen film. I doubt that i 'll watch it, i have to read about the CoE's social charter for tomorrow.
I m also back on diet, the most fattening thing i ve eaten lately is the crunchy muesli inthe morning.Other than that ..it's salads, soups and vegetables!Oh and the macaroni, but i didn't even put any butter:P
And a few tablets of dark chocolate, but that's just fuel for the brain!
