NYC for June?

Currently Listening :: The Devil Wears Prada OST <3

YAY! New layout! I made something very personal, very ‘me’: the music I like, my laptop, my cellphone, my iPod shuffle, my passeport and frequent flyer card, my digital, the food I like, IKEA<3, and my social-netowrking links!
I plan to edit all the pages, update my bio, the credits and links =)
Tell me if there’s something you find aesthetically weird like the font, or 404 pages.. well anything wrong.

Anyways. Back to my life. I might be going to enroll for an English program in NYC during June, since I’m ending school on the 10th. It’s 1900 euros (~2700$?) including classes, 3 weeks in a family, and the plane ticket. I think I would fly on Lufthansa, Paris-Munich-NY-Frankfurt-Paris, as they have a codeshare with United Airlines. Yep, quite expensive I know, but an old friend of ours is willing to pay the half D I was really excited about this.. I mean.. IT’S NEW YORK!!
Since now, the dollar is getting weird, (1 euro = 1.53$, it used to be 1.20$ some time ago O___O WOW) going to the USA as a European is REALLY worth it. Nowadays, instead of getting 1200$ by exchanging 1000 euros, I’d get 1530$.
So I won’t have to look up for an mp4 on Ebay USA anymore, if I travel to NY. I’ll go there and buy it myself XD

Yesterday was ‘back2school’ day. UGH. Our physics teacher left us a bitter taste of this first day at school, as he gave us a ‘little’ test, which turned out to be very long, and so-called EASY. Okay I admit, I haven’t read any books during my vacations, so I’m part guilty. But I do believe that today, as we had physics too, he realized (when he was doing some kind of ‘check-up’ of what we had studied so far) that a part of the lesson which we were tested on the day before has never been studied. Hah. He also gave us back a physics test we had done some time ago.. my grade: 6 out of 20. Whoopie. Fortunately I wasn’t the only one. Even the best students did something very mediocre. As for the maths test, I got 10 out of 20, and I was pretty happy for this, as I actually felt asleep at 6pm after school (instead of revising this test), and consequently, took this test without any lessons in my brain.

No more wake-ups at 11am..

Whooopie! it’s vacations already. Thanks god my blog is up and working again (it wasn’t yesterday).
I was in desperate need of blogging so I had to post on (dead) Hi5.

I told you I was very tired. The teachers didn’t seem to understand that, as they even (cerise sur le gateau) made us take 3 exams on the last week of school. Indifferently-rushed teachers, really. 3 exams (maths, physics, french) that I sit, 3 exams that I screwed. Won’t expect much from them, as I didn’t expect much from me. I don’t blame myself for not working, this time, I’d rather blame teachers for putting these tests while we can’t take no more of them. Who the hell cares now, it’s done, and I’m really happy to be on vacations (even though I’m doing nothing, except maybe, procrastinating.. but I guess that’s the point of vacations, ain’t it?).

So to celebrate these highly-anticipated vacations, my friends and I, went to Disneyland on Saturday. We had to gather at the station at 8:30am; we were all here, except my friend (the one who held the Disney passes). She messaged us “wait, there’s a problem!”. What problem?! And she wouldn’t answer the phone. 10 minutes after, she finally gave us a call, telling us that she had lost the passes. Scared the crap out of me T_T. Then we called her once again, and said she found them… in the bin. Woooooo! What a relief. I thought our Disney escape would’ve been ruined. Fiooooou.
We arrived there, A BUNCH of people there already. We all felt so sleepy after the 1 hour journey in the train.. so we decided to start-off with Space Mountain. Actually, I used to be REALLY afraid of roller-coasters. A sort of phobia. I would recline any ride. But this time was the first time that I wholeheartedly wanted to ride it. I guess my phobia is gone? If it’s the case then I’m happy hehe ) The ride was awesome, as was the Rock’n'Roller, and more. We didn’t get to do much as the queue were so DAMN long… like 100 minute-queue for the Big Thunder Mountain and 75 minutes for Indiana Jones. Awwww. So I got to do 8 things by 9 hours. We also met Mickey, Minnie, Donalf, Pluto, Goofie, Ratatouille, Lilo&Stitch and lots more!

Anyway, back to the site. I’m preparing something new for the website =) So be prepared, it should be done by next week, if i’m not too lazy xD

Oh yeah, I’m supposed to go to Thailand for summer vacations on July 14th. However, school ends on June 10th so I might go somewhere else in the meanwhile. Maybe USA, but it’s so damn expensive.. if I could, I’d have tried to get a job, but I haven’t reached the legal age to work.. I still have to wait 8 more months -_-

Btw, I still don’t know which mp4 I should buy LOL.

TIME TO BREATHE >_<

Heheh. My last (real) post wasn’t really promising, was it? “JANUARY IS CRAP”.

Yep. I haven’t posted decently since December 28th. Well, don’t have lots of visitors here anyway, but it doesn’t matter, as long as I can blog and take some weight off my heart sometimes!

A lot has been going on, in January. It’s been work non-stop.. I haven’t had some decent sleep for 1 month now, as I usually didn’t sleep before 1am or 2am. Teachers should stop this kind of planning (exams&tests rushing) cause students ARE really tired..

I’m starting to receive my papers now, and I guess the short-sleep and hard-work has been paid-off since my grades look good! And the big -positive- change is in French, as I got a grade above the average (which haven’t happened for realli long now). Here are my current grades (I can check them up on the net!):

Ok I have something to admit. I was tired because of exams. But my procrastination has something to do with it too. And the same thing comes up once again: internet. Yep. It’s like.. the perfect tool for procrastination (damn this word is long to type). Ending up on Facebook, Soompi, Hi5, or Ebay..
Oooh about ebay, I wanted to buy an mp3 with the money I earned on my Paypal. But french people are selling so expensive -_- so I had to check Ebay US, as things are cheaper in the US (like iPods, Samsung,..) But what I’d really like to buy is a Microsoft Zune.


To be frank I wasn’t sure about this, as most people are hooked up on iPods. The new iPod nano is quite fatty, small and not handy (some friends own it). If I buy an ipod, it would be the classic 80GB, since it’s the screen’s bigger (but not fatty). However it’s expensive and come on.. 80GB is way too much for me, even all the data in my computer wouldn’t fill half of the memory.

Same for the Zune.. 80GB is too much, but LOVE the design! The 4GB model is too small, so is its screen.

Zune 80GB, 4&8GB
