Freaking US of A

Frenchness & Francophilia,Texas | Wednesday 30 May 2007 10:45 am

I don’t like it much here. I’m back in Texas, and things aren’t going well. That’s a lie, they’re going okay, but I’m still really, really sad and wish I hadn’t had to leave France.

Weird thing that made me sad today on the plane: Coca Light is way, way better than Diet Coke, and the cans are heavier… oh yeah and the sun sets earlier here.

Biggest thing I missed today: J. But then I suspect that’ll be every day.

Help =(

At least I bullied Brandon into coming to town tomorrow.

Arrivals/Departures,France planning,Nancy,Texas | Wednesday 23 May 2007 1:08 pm

I’m in an internet cafe in Nancy right now. I know most of my posts these days begin with an update on where I am. It’s not really that interesting. Oh well. It’s hot here again. I’m slowly going broke. I go home in a week and in the meantime I’m using the resources I encounter to try to get a job back in France next year. But I’m anxious about it and I’d really rather have it settled.

Nothing too interesting is happening otherwise. My friends have started to leave. I made a list of things to look forward to at home. Let’s see if I can remember it:

Boris and Otto
All of the cute clothes I didn’t bring to France
Netflix
Tall glasses
Tex Mex
Barbecue
Cheddar cheese
Windows with screens

There was more but I don’t remember. I’m not making a list of things to miss because it’ll make me too sad. Oh, and I might go to Vegas with les filles in August.

Can any of you smartypantses out there help me figure out how to forward this (sub)domain to a livejournal account?

Hey I’m back in Bar le Duc for a bit. I was in Nancy this week Nancying around and just generally having a good time. Some things that happened:

1) Chelsey bowled something close to 115.
2) My friends got friendly with some hippies on the Place Stan.
3) I bought a new ring. It broke. So I went back and got another one. It’s cool though trust me.
4) Zandra spent the night on Chelsey’s bed sans mattress.
5) I met Megan and played scrabble with her.
6) I shocked a Frenchman with my dirty French. Oops.

I’m sure I’m forgetting things. Currently I am probably in Bar le Duc till Thursday when we’re going to Paris, but I might go back to Nancy Monday, I don’t know.

Just Checking In

Hey, I’m in Nancy, in a computer lab, with Chelsey. Things are fun here. I’m going to Paris weekend after next. I have no real news. Let me think about that … nope, nothing. Chelsey’s visitors from home are cool though.

Update without photos

Sorry, no photos, too much effort. I’ve been busy. Work ended for me on Monday. I was in Cassis with fun people this week. Now I’m back in Bar le Duc. I had a really nice dinner with the English profs last night. Tomorrow I’m going to Nancy for the week to hang with Chelsey’s cool friends. I might be going to Paris in a couple of weeks. I change my mind about what I’m doing next year every week, it seems.
