Adjusting to My New Life!
Filed Under Daily
On Sunday, we lost internet around 9 pm and I had to fix it by installing an ad-hoc internet sharing on my own laptop. It was very annoying. I think something is wrong with our freebox v4. Anyways the phone came back and everyone can use the internet which is the most important thing. On Monday, I sent out the formula and applied for the RSA (Revenu solidarite active). I called Zecco and fixed my US trading account, I also moved my money from ING to ANZ to Zecco. On Tuesday I sent another email to ask Free about the new box I ordered a week and half ago. My sister, Anne came and stayed overnight for a family reunion. It has been a while since the family was reunited, maybe 6 or 7 years ago. It was very enjoyable. Today, we will pick up the newfree box HD.
I also cut my hair. My long hair was too damaged. It is much shorter now and I really like it more this way. The weather is much nicer. No more this cloudy sky above my head all the time.

The return has been very hectic after the exam. I did not feel like doing anything and I just played WoW. My flight was not very enjoyable I had to pay extra due to luggage excess. I will never fly with little cheap companies again. It’s better to pay extras for a smooth return. Anyways all is good now.
The Wifi on the freebox stopped working after I replugged the new power plug for unknown reasons. I had to spend some hours setting up an ad-hod internet system using my laptop so that I can share internet. We will just wait for the new box to come.

Preparing my Return!
Filed Under Daily
I have not many things to carry home this time. I will probably throw away a lot of useless things. I have received an email from Zecco confirming the opening of my trading account and the internet at home has been upgraded to adsl +2. Good…very good!

It’s Over!
Filed Under Daily
At least for now! It is out of my hands and I shall wait for the results. Nothing to do until then. Last time it took about 1 month and half so I’ll expect the same. Not too bad is my feeling right now. I did alright I think. I finally could resume my swimming this morning and it was such a pleasure to swim again. Very crowded but enjoyable. I have not seen many regulars today.
I now have a full week to lazy off and spend all my days playing World of Warcraft until I go home :). Dave M sent out an email suggesting a dinner to a small group but I do not feel like going

Mixte Feelings!
Filed Under Daily
The last exam of the year unless there is a resit after August 24. I am just tired of these exams and I want to get over it. The exam is in 2 hours and I am finished with my revision. I am just reading a little bit. I wish I could know the results of the other exams so that I do not bother about this one. After this I am going to play WoW like a mad man until Sunday!
I skipped swimming again. I hate these exams. They make me skip my favorite sport.

Feeling Strange!
Filed Under Daily
After the exam last Friday, I was relieved but I was not very satisfied. I did okay I think but I could have done better. I just did not really find the motivation to do so. The reality is that the last four modules are just some random requirements for a LAW degree. Their only purpose is to ensure that I meet the 120 hours credits required for the diploma and nothing else. I have no real interest in them I will never have to deal with them anymore. It was a pain to attend the courses and it was a pain learning for the exams. One more to go Monday and all this should be over.
I booked my flight for next Sunday, the 14th of June to go back to Paris. I could not find any cheap flight with Air France for a one way ticket so I booked with Flybe.

Casting my Vote!
Filed Under Daily
It is funny how I’ve never voted in France but I vote when I am abroad. Anyways, I will cast my vote for the green party here in Manchester. The two main parties are in deep shit and they all deserve it! I am trying also to book my flight back to Paris next week. I wanted to book a one-way ticket with Air France but it would cost me 435 GBP whereas a return ticket would only cost me 112 GBP. Life is sometimes illogical!
Great swim …all smooth and fast. Very relaxing compared to yesterday. I hit the water hard yesrterday but got nowhere. Today I was so smooth and I slide through the water. It’s all about technique.
My expansion account on Blizzard was locked yesterday and I have to call Billing in order to sort out the payment otherwise I cannit play my Death Knight character in World of Warcraft…annoying!
Now revision time!

Spring Cleaning
Filed Under Daily
Today is the day I throw away most of the useless stuffs I accumulated this year in Manchester. Empty boxes, school materials, bills, etc…I am a big “thrower” and I rarely regret anything. I used to be more careful but, after I left Lyon in 1999, I have decided not to keep anything. I am very careful with my databases though. With Hard Drives being bigger and cheaper over the year, it has been even easier to do so.
Time to prepare for the last two exams, Unfair Competion Law is on Friday at 2 pm and Copyright Law is next MOnday at 9:45 am. Let’s get hurt again. I really enjoy the feeling of relief after the exam but the preparation is freaking painful. I don’t know if it is a question of age but I cannot pull out an “all-night” session I used to do when I was younger. Nowadays I need to sleep around midnight and that is the latest I can do. I can wake up at 5 am though which is better!

The weather is just beautiful. It is not too hot yet but I am currently in the afternoon. The coming Friday’s exam is really annoying but I need to prepare for it. Among the last four modules it is probably the easiest one, methink!
I managed to find time to do my laundry between WoW..my priest is at level 54 soon to be 55!!! I was runnig out of clothes to wear and I started to r-use my socks. I am really a newbie in this funny game. I need to book my flight ticket soon. I just wanted to see how all exams go before I do anything just in case I need to come back to resit. It involves some administrative fees. Let’s not be too negative and think positive!

Vegetative State!
Filed Under Daily
That was how I was during the weekend. I played WoW with my brother so intensively that I even forgot yesterday night that it was already Sunday until I saw on my clock alarm that it was Monday passd midnight. I thought the clock was broken…Time flew so fast when you play games. World of Warcraft is really a nice game: Priest level 53.
I had a fantastic swim even though my gogle is a bit loose. Great speed from til the end! It was a very good thing to resume swimming. Now time to prepare for the last two exams!
