Intense Work Out
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
Last week, I have been pushing myself very hard at the pool. I am now at the speed of the Squad. With more lanes and better swimmers in my lane, it is a real pleasure to race them. There seems to be a consensus about extra lanes now. I am partially responsible for these lanes […]

and I am still awake! Swimming will suck tomorrow morning and then I have class at 10 am so I cannot even sleep a bit to recover. I really feel like skipping Unfair Competition but it is before the other class and it would be strange to skip one and not the other one. Someone, […]

I have received today an email from my old friend, Herve M. He is a good friend from my time at CPE Lyon, my engineering school. We typically write to each other every year or so just to see how things are going. A typical french man: funny, easy going, quite optimistic in life and […]

Finally!
Filed Under Daily, Songs | Leave a Comment
The day has finally come where the stupid admin at the pool opens TWO extra lanes. I cannot believe it took them that long. It is such a stupid thing. We had lanes 5 and 6 completely open today. Too many people! I really hope it will become a normal trend. I always wonder why […]

Heroes of Might and Magic II

I’ve spent the whole day playing this old game. The pool was closed because they have some technical issues. I went back home at 6:30 am… not funny! Amy is supposed to come back today but I have not seen her. I guess she is staying longer in Germany.

Strange Day!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
I had flashbacks last night. I was at Hoche in Versailles again. If I ever have to describe this period of my life, I’d say it was hell on Earth. This preparation school was simply a waste of my lifetime. Bad night and bad day! I hardly had 3 hours of sleep and the swim […]

Weekend Summary!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
In one word: BORING! Nothing exciting this weekend. I helped Malinda with her new MacBook Pro on Friday, it took me some times but I quickly got used to MacOS. They are extremely well organized and have made life so easy for people who use them! I will buy a Mac someday, when I have […]
