feignasse
Bonjour à tout et à toutes!
I'm sorry, I've been such a lazy butthead. I'm getting back into this blogging thing, I promise maybe. Truth be told, I got kinda busy for a moment there, which is no excuse so I'm gonna stop right here and just assume full responsibility. And to win all of you back over, here's a picture of me looking like a doofus.
Well, now that we're square again, lemme update you on things. I'm currently making a decision about which university I'll be attending in September of this year which, while it's exciting, it unsettles me a little bit for all of the obvious reasons. Both are in the UK and I recently had the opportunity to visit each -- I enjoyed both of the campuses and really appreciated the typically English-ness of it all. I think the decision will ultimately come down to which one I have to pay less for.... But we'll get to that after I've got my fees assessment back (which also unsettles me).
Bref. Otherwise, things have been chugging along as per the usual in France. Surely I've gone soft with all of these days off in May (we have four) so I'm thinking that a Master's will surely kick my butt into real person work mode (this is probably the most unsettling part of everything).
To end, I'll share with you probably my favorite French idiom ever which has no English equivalent... When you've got on a button-down shirt or a cardigan and you fixed a button to a hole that doesn't match on the right level, in French they say "to attach Monday to Tuesday" ("attacher lundi avec mardi").
example: "You must have been in a hurry this morning -- you've attached Monday to Tuesday!"
English is so boring sometimes.
