Best Western Terminus Grenoble

... who is a theatre production director joins in the shouts. Cia (not the car, but rather another medical professional from Edinborough) arrives, shortly followed by Jizz Jez Jeremy Blakeney, the Van Wilder Master Planner extraordinaire and commander in charge of logistics for next week. We pay some random guy a some squid to get us home, but not before we smash a few down at the vodka bar, Revolution and of course of McShit (did I say that or think that out aloud?!). Now ...

Today is the first day of my spring break...whoo hoo! I will be jetting off to Germany tomorrow morning to attend the 22nd Annual Satanic Stomp, a two day psychobilly festival in Speyer, Germany. I will be meeting up with two Salt Lake girls, Kristina and Mary. Where to after that? Who knows! I am ...

... ofwel is de kodak uit zijn zak gevallen (maar dat zouden we toch moeten horen?) ofwel is hij het slachtoffer geworden van een gauwdief. Anyway, de wedstrijd... Het stond al 0-1 voor de bezoekers. Het was een zeer aangename tweede helft met vele kansen en echt waar...een MEGA WERELDGOAL! Je moet maar eens opzoeken:p. Er was ook heel veel sfeer en toen Grenoble scoorde, werd het dan ook zot gevierd...veel bengaals vuurwerk ook enzo..terwijl dat verboden is. Bij die goal was het 1-2 ...

Today, I have been on this planet 22 years. I cannot believe that this past year has flown by so fast. This is particularly strange after having Megan here last week. We met three weeks into freshman year, so we have been friends almost my whole college career. It was so bizarre to find ourselves discussing our upcoming graduation and our post-degree plans. In two months I will no longer be an undergraduate but the holder of Bachelor's of Arts....WTF.

... truly enjoyed spending the evening chatting with her. My cousin Marie came this morning to join us for breakfast and we then got in the car to go to Autrans to meet up with three friends of hers. All four of them are very much into cross country skiing, whereas I'm the alpine skiing girl. When Marie had asked me if I would like to do a full day of cross country skiing a few months before, I was very excited about ...

... floor of our building was on strike too. They had made several piles of chairs in front of a few of the amphitheaters were we have our lecture classes. Traveling around campus we discovered some other universities were completely blockaded with chairs. All these piles of chairs included signs that read "Printemps des Chaises" or literally, Springtime of the Chairs! Pictures of France's national sport included.

Today we found our placements for the CUEF. I am not happy with my placement as are most of the kids in my group. I feel that I placed really low :(. Today we were supposed to have a three hour orientation with all the foreign exchange students but less than an hour into it we were informed that the there was a general strike on campus ...

... textos, protège/assiège son petit bout de campus. Tout à coup, au loin, des cris. Sur les téléphone, un texto : A LA FAC DE POL. VITE ! On court, les cris se précisent : "Pétain, revient, t'as oublié tes chiens", "Police partout, justice nulle part", etc... Quand on arrive, les gens ne sont déjà plus devant la porte, remplacés par une ligne de CRS. *****. Plein de textos sur non télephones : "Sciences sociales, vite!", "Sciences, vite!". Partout, l'expulstion est déjà finie ...

... before heading there, I had to do some research about the train from Geneva to Grenoble, which I would take the next morning. Geneva has by far the coolest airport I have ever been to. It's very simple. First off, they didn't even look at my passport (much less stamp it). The luggage carts are FREE (and with 2 checked pieces of luggage weighing in at 70 lbs. each, I was quite grateful). All passengers exit via the same door after getting their luggage, so the person ...
