Pass!
Filed Under Daily | 2 Comments
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! One good thing done and no Resit in August! I got my grades this morning and it is such a relief. It is a PASS in both courses I took. No great marks but an easy pass in both cases around 50 out of 100 for a diploma student that I am. For the […]

Student Life!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
It is not that great and I understand now why I wanted to finish school quickly when I was a student. I am inherently anti-social by choice and I do not get much out of the social side of students’ life. Yesterday, I joined the hiking club on Dave M ‘s suggestion and I attended […]

3 Years of Swimming!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
It has been indeed three long years of hard training at early hours. It all started at Notre Dame, only 2.5 Kms back then. Nowadays, I am one of the fastest amateur at the local pool. People have noticed my strange workout. I always have my underwater mp3 player on. Regular swimmers know me very […]

Horrible Monday!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
I barely slept an hour or two last night. I was in a bad mood. Sharada, the stupid Canadian-Ghanaen born girl, invited as usual young brainless friends over. One of them talked on her phone in the hallway loudly at 8:45 pm. I went out to tell her to go away. Then the other flatmate, […]

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 […]

Best Time
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
I estimated today my swimming time and it is not bad at all. I swim 6 kms between one hour and 37 or 42 min everyday. That means an average speed of 48.2 sec or 51 sec which is very decent for an amateur. To be compared to the squad performance, I would not be […]
