		<title>A week of fondue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought a tv from Marie&#8217;s aunt two weeks ago, and Saturday Julien took me to look for a TV stand for it. We ended up looking in Easy Cash because it was the only place open between midi et deux, and though there were no TV stands, there was an awesome selection of used [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just an update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, the CAPES, the CAPES, I spend far too much time thinking about it. I need to learn to better compartmentalize my stress. And I am stressed about it: 1) Am finding the CNED corrections of my translations 90% illegible and indecipherable, and the remaining 10% not very illuminating. Am hoping to get a guide [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boris and Otto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may have figured out from the constant allusions to them on this blog, my parents have two white male standard poodles. They&#8217;re four years old and they&#8217;re brothers. Boris weighs around 75 pounds, and Otto weighs around 55 pounds, which is normal for a poodle. Which is to say, Boris is huge. When [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thème/Version</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thème: translation from French into a foreign language Version: translation from a foreign language into French Note: Grade Moy: Average Nbre: Number turned in I do the exact opposite of French people. (It&#8217;s no big deal, I knew that the version I sent in was de la merde, and I&#8217;ve already sent in one that [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been sort of a long time since I posted, so here&#8217;s a brief, random update. I got my first corrigé back from the CNED, and I got a 12 on my first thème (so, translation from French to English). I was quite happy with that though I found the comments not all that useful&#8212;in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blurg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I need something to reprendre la morale. This CAPES thing does NOT seem to be advancing, at least regarding grammar + translation (am learning TONS about British history and anglophone cultures, have lots of new trivia to bring up at dinner parties). Okay that&#8217;s not exactly true. Translation seems to be getting a little better. [...]]]></description>

		<title>How I spend my days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since getting back from Avignon I&#8217;ve been keeping up a pretty good schedule of CAPES preparation. I made myself a fancy word document detailing what I should get done every day (click on it if you actually want to see it closer up): So mostly I&#8217;m trying to do practice translations, read the CAFEP grammar [...]]]></description>

		<title>Traveling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m hoping to take a big trip to the U.S. next April. I&#8217;m purposefully not going home this summer or over Christmas for reasons I think I&#8217;ve mentioned (cost, heat, allergies) so instead I&#8217;m hoping to go in April when Texas will be green and blue and orange and only probably around 80 degrees. But [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Avignon Festival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well I&#8217;ve been in Avignon for just over a week now and I go back to Poitiers tomorrow. So here&#8217;s a brief photographic update: The plastering of posters outside of Sarah&#8217;s apartment The stage inside the Palais des Papes The Off flyers in the Village Off Inside the Spiegeltent in the Village Off The upside-down [...]]]></description>

		<title>Working on the CAFEP CAPES for real, other stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Zandra and I arrived in Avignon Sunday afternoon after driving across France through the night. We were not the ones driving; we used covoiturage. I didn&#8217;t sleep much and instead watched out the window as the landscape changed from Poitou-Charentes, to the hills outside Clermont-Ferrand, to the vineyards as we finally approached Montélimar in the [...]]]></description>
