Coucou. Réveillon tout pourri (merci la gastro), mais je vous souhaite quand même une bonne année !
See you in 2010!
So four months have passed since I returned back to school in September!
The first two months were really trying both physically and psychologically. I didn’t recall encountering a return to school like this. Well, from November, things are going back to ‘normal’.
I have worked on different things besides my job and have continued my studies. I get used to my tasks at school but I had to get used to a new topic of studies!
Along my studies, I worried on and off about some subjects. Still, as I passed exams in lessons I wondered about beforehand, I felt more confident.
So why worrying in advance? It is of no help. It just stresses us more. The result is according to our work and the effort we put into something. Apply to yourself what you advise the others, I thought… so I decided to take my studies in stride. I felt far better! This is available to language learning too. I was so stressed when I had my first English discussions three years ago. I can tell it was not a good approach.
One field after the other, time passed. I worried about mathematics or English lessons and it went all fine. With some more difficulties, I went through biology but passed as well.
November, December and Physics!
I went through biology so what? Let’s go for physics. Wow, a tough time waited for me in this field though -- I can tell that I got my worse grade in this field L -- And you know what? I am relieved, really relieved, to see this lesson coming to an end! Finish, over, the end…
Next subject: literature. I welcome it with open arms. I far prefer dealing with words than numbers. I’m not a scientific.
I love books, I love all that is related with words and all that they could suggest, bring out, create. I admire those who can paint beautifully with brush as well as those who do with words.
That’s it. Yesterday, I received my booklet and a few book. Below are pics of the first two books I am going to study.
I am thrilled to study this lesson. Among the books, there is one story written by Shakespeare. oh la la…
I read a post from Suzanne regarding perfectionism. I understand her so well. Mentioning Suzanne reminds me my promise.
Two years ago, I began to create a story for the LingQ library. It was at a time when I pondered about some more contents that I could upload, what could be of interest. Suddenly, an idea came up. I didn’t know the result or even if it would be of interest, but I gave it a try. If it works, perfect. If it doesn't, well trash were created to be filled.
I was enthusiastic to work on a story. I wanted it a short one. It was not really clear in my mind; I only had a vague idea. I took a piece of paper and began to write. Once I began, I couldn’t stop and created one part after the other. The more I wrote, the more the story came alive in my mind and took shape on the paper. After the third part, only a blank was on my mind :(
I took a pause. I wasn’t inspired for what would come next. I attended to my other occupations and sadly, almost forgot about this story.
A few weeks ago, I promised to create a sequel of it. I will! I’m so sorry for setting aside this story for two long years.
My last post was written in August?? Wow! So many things have occured since then.
Not the time to say more from the time being though, sorry! But soon...
Languages...I eventually am able to work more with English as I was used to be. Even though, it is not enough according to me, if ever one day I find this enough ;) Anyway, I love working with languages. It has become my passion.
Not only English, but also my own language which is French and I have begun to learn Spanish for several day. I have many goals that I want to reach and am working toward them...slowly but surely. It is used to say that it's better not to say too much before it is reached so, when it is the time, I say more.
Here is links towards items in French that I shared on LingQ. I hope you'll appreciate them:

I would appreciate to hear from you. Give me your feedback :)
Tout le monde connait cette chanson : Everybody's Gotta Live de Love... En voila une bien meilleure version, celle qui figure sur Love Lost, album non publié en 1971...
De quoi patienter jusqu'au retour de Notwist...
20 ex-aequo- Camera Obscura et God help the girl
Deux beaux albums de pop sixties...
19 - Dead Man's Bones
M'a rendu Halloween moins pénible ...
A eu son quart d'heure de hype, mais ne passera pas l'hiver.
L'album de l'été, venu du froid.
16 - Atlas Sound
Pochette hideuse, peut-être un peu surestimé, mais qu'importe, Walkabout est la chanson que j'ai le plus écouté cette année.
15 - Music go music.
Album disco de l'année, secteur certes peu concurrentiel cette année.
14 - Bill Callahan
Le meilleur album d'un grand songwriter, pochette sublime.
13 - The field
Bel album de musique électronique très attachante (rah, le sample de Cocteau Twins...).
12 - Passion Pit
Attendu comme le messie. Un peu déçu de ne pas retrouver la beauté bizarre de Sleepyhead...
11 - Girls
Plutôt classique musicalement, cet album émouvant doit beaucoup à ses paroles. Et à ses clips pleins de jolies filles.
10 - Loney, Dear
Génie méconnu de son époque, Loney Dear prend des risques sur cet album, et les nouveaux territoires qu'on aperçoit donne très envie d'entendre la suite.
09 - Noah & the Whale
Second album, et premier chef d'œuvre. La BO d'une rupture amoureuse, et on souhaite à Charlie Fink d'autres déboires amoureux, très vite !
08 - Dominique A
Dominique A est le sequoia qui cache la forêt de médiocrité de la chanson française.
07 - The pains of being pure at heart.
My Bloody Valentine + Belle & Sebastian.
06 - Le Loup
Album de folk mutant pas forcément très accueillant, mais qui se révèle splendide au fil des écoutes.
05 - The XX
Moins de 20 ans, et ces anglais ont déjà trouvé leur propre son qui magnifie des chansons qui se logent pour longtemps dans votre cerveau.
04 - Fuck Buttons
Véritable orgie sonore, impressionnant de bout en bout. Les dix minutes de l'infernal Surf Solar furent l'expérience musicale de l'année.
03 - Soap & Skin
A cause de cette jeune autrichienne fragile et sauvage, je n'ai plus trop de souvenir des autres concerts vus cette année. Révélation de l'année.
02 - The Antlers
J'ai mis quelques mois à me plonger réellement dans cet album, et je ne sais pas quand je vais en ressortir. J'aurais dû l'écouter pendant que je lisais La Route de Cormac Mc Carthy, dont il aurait fait une superbe BO...
01 - Animal Collective
Sans trop de surprise, pour l'ensemble de son oeuvre : un album énorme, un ep plus discret mais peut-être plus attachant. Un groupe qui a définitivement largué les amarres, qui ne recule devant rien, et qui semble s'amuser.
