 My old journal! It lives! *is relieved to find it in one piece*

Anyway, future updates, this journal. Not that it matters much to those who added both.

I'm not sure if this 'll be the last entry tout court of this journal, I still have my exams to do here anyway. I'll have to get back to you on that. 

Tonight'll be spent drinking and dancing with the few friends I made out here. In no particular order, that would be: Silvia aka Petite, Chantal beter known as Chántiiiiiiii, Aneesa (did I get that right?), Diego, Yoko, Nadia and Rosie. That's four Italians, a Brit, an American and a Japanese girl. No Jan though, -he would be the German one- he had other stuff to do. I'll miss him, though, he was great fun. Silvia has developed a thing for him. I honestly hope it turns into something. They're both just too cute not to be allowed that kind of happiness.

Boys and girls, I'm coming home! (though it might not be for long)

Tomorrow is officially my last day. It'll be filled with classes (which is silly, considering I had three days of practically nothing) and the evening will be spent drinking beers and dancing with my new friends. We'll drop my stuff off at Part Dieu, so if things really get too late, I can go straight to Part Dieu and hop on my train. 

I didn't know I'd accumulated so much junk while staying here. I've filled my two suitcases, a back pack, a small bag and my hipbag! Of course, I'm taking all my courses and the new books I bought, but that's still a LOT of stuff. I won't be looking forward to switching trains in Brussels. Maybe I could ask my mum to meet me half way to help me carry all those bags. *ponders*

One more day. It really is amazing. Time literally flew by! I have to come back for a little to do my finals, but that'll only be two or three weeks. After that, I officially go home. That's so weird. I was just getting used to being out here and now I'm packing up to leave again.

Btw, my friend Lex told me about a company called Maersk. They have what's called a MISE program. I signed up immediately. It sounds too good to be true. Two years of training, after which the world awaits. And apparently you start out at 1700 euros net a month. Though this is only hear say. But that program sounds good regardless! Here's hoping I get accepted.

Oh, and my uncle sent me two more adresses in Germany. I have to send them letters, though, so I'm gonna wait till I get home to do that. But two more places means two more hopes of actually finding an internship. And that's something, at least.

Went to dinner with Richard. It was nice. Great Italian restaurant. He bought me perfume. I ran as soon as I could.

Silvia's grandad died, sorta out of the blue-ish. Poor thing has exams, not what she needs right now. *gives her a supportive hug*

Mail from my uncle gave me two more places in Germany for my internship. Must write asap.

Also, could someone tell me what a fresh-out-of-college administrative assistant makes a year in USD? Much obliged.

Two more days after this one. The countdown continues.

Slow day. Got up early, did absolutely nothing. Loved it, too.

[info]winifred, I was wondering if you could tell me some good job sites for the Seatle area? I'm thinking I might head out there for a while. Well, either there or New York. Though somehow, the thought of working in Seatle seems much more welcoming...

Anyway, off again, doing whatever.

- slept for four hours or less
- went to morning class
- went out for coffee with new friend Diego, talked about metal and religion mostly
- went home at two, talked to [info]mikey_dreamer and [info]reflectingone
- back to class at five fifteen, after eating a banana
- got back and ate something
- got an HOUR-long phonecall from mister "woman of my life" Richard, which wasn't all that bad, but considering I'm exhausted, was very tiring. we're having pizza on wednesday, here's hoping i'm awake enough to keep up this time.
- waiting to fall off my chair onto my bed and sleep
- just realised that mac is still on my bed and i have to kick the cat out before i can actually do said tumbling.

on a completely unrelated note: five more days!!

No one answered my meme. So many people read this thing, and nobody actually made the effort. *sniff*

Weirdest night ever yesterday! We went out with a group of people, which was fun, I made a new friend along the way. Diego, from Atlanta, Georgia, this time. He's got Colombian roots and loves both metal and salsa. Go figure that. Was fun to talk about metal again though, you hardly meet metalheads out here. We've come up with the plan together to find the metalpubs here in Lyon. So far we've both been unsuccesful. Lyon just isn't made up of metalheads, I guess. Sweet guy in general, had a good time talking and dancing with him.
I meet more erasmussers than I meet actual Frenchmen... 

After he went home, Silvia ran into an old friend and left me hanging, basicly. Not the nicest thing to do, but it happens when you're caught up in a discussion. But meanwhile, a guy called Richard decided to fall head over heels for me. Wouldn't have an incling as to why, but ok. Name's Richard, 32-year old, way too rich businessman. Don't mind if I do. *grin* I've got a week to go, might as well get pampered by this guy who thinks I could actually be That Girl. (I'm not that mean, really, you know I'm not.) I actually had a laughing fit when he told me. I'm so not cut out for stuff like that. He's got me curious though. How does a guy that doesn't know you at all, get that image in his head?

When me and Silvia finally got to Gare de Vaise, we were welcomed by the image of eight guys beating three others to a pulp. One hit the floor and stayed down, said eight guys ran. Panick, mayhem and an extremely frightened Silvia followed. I don't know how I stayed so calm through all this, but somehow I just felt numb. Must've been shock or something.

Anyway, slept till five thirty, which was fun. Now all that's left to do, is eat at eight (why the hell do they eat so late!) and then maybe contact Richard, since I promised. And since I really wanna know if he was actually sober enough last night to remember me today.

From the [info]tootsiemuppet:
1. Pick 50 of your favorite movies.
2. Then pick one of your favorite quote/s from each movie.
3. Post the quotes in your journal.
4. Have those on your friends list to guess what the movie is.
5. Either strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified, or place the guesser's user name directly after the quote.

I don't have 50 favorite movies, so I'll just go for 25... (In no particular order)

So so very tired. I had a great time last night, we went to "fête des lumières". I made some new friends *proud of herself*, and I had fun. But then I also had class this morning, till late this evening, so now I'm absolutely exhausted.

First new friend is a Japanese girl, called Yoko, who has already promised to not only teach me the language, but also show me the "real" Tokyo when I decided to visit her. Because, believe me, I will, just as soon as I get the cash assembled. I mean, it's Japan! Life always shows you where to go, right? I say it's telling me to learn Japanese and keep in touch with Yoko for as long as I can.

Second new friend is Jan, a guy from Hamburg. He's adorable, and possibly one of the sweetest Germans I've ever met. And of course, he's an EBM fan. Much love for the Jan-man. (though nothing like thát)

Anyway, today will be spent by myself, all mushed and sleepy, watching a film, or just hanging out online until I'm too tired to stay up any longer.

[info]tootsiemuppet, you're in my thoughts, hun.

My Boys, I was thrilled to see your message. Thank you so so much! *loves you both too much*

[info]winifred, hang in there. All will be well, I promise you!

*feels all happy and childlike* I didn't get anything, but it's the spirit of it that matters, right? ^_^
