Usa
I've been back for two weeks now and I thought I would take some time to write about my trip ! It was just amazing. This is one of the best things I've ever done ! No matter how much I love to travel, I always get terribly homesick when I'm abroad and I didn't feel homesick once there. There was just this one time after I left my group and was back ( Read more... ) -
US trip
I know I have been a bad blogger ! Yet, I felt like writing here tonight. I've been thinking a lot about my upcoming trip to the United States lately. I'm currently working at my summer job (and will until August 12th) so I'm trying to save a some money. I don't know if I will end up buying these things for my trip but I've had them on my list for ( Read more... ) -

Then there are the books we love so much that we read them every year or two, and know passages of them by heart; that cheer us when we are sick or sad and never fail to amuse us when we take them up at random; that we press on all our friends and acquaintances; and to which we return again and again with undimmed enthusiasm over the course of a ( Read more... ) -

He seems to me as a very humble person. He read from the ( Read more... ) -

I finally sat my three important exams this week. I'm glad it's over. I have still three exams to sit in the next two weeks but it should be less stressful. I decided to take Friday and the weekend off.
On Saturday, I had lunch at my friend's Julien (I had never been at his place before!). He's most definitely the most vegetarian-friendly friend I ( Read more... ) -
The Virgin Suicides
In 2009 (I think) I started writing short reviews for the books I was reading but I stopped for no reason. I thought it was really fun ! I remember it led me to talk about those books in details with some of my friends here. So I thought I could try to do that again, maybe ?
