Citadines Apart'Hotel Grenoble

... didn't elude to anything special about his apartment on the 20th floor of a luxury Battersea building so when I entered the kick ass pad, I was confronted with a West facing full wall to wall window aspect of the river Thames at night. Holy ****!!! We climbed out onto the 1ft deep balcony absorbing all that London has to offer. More alcohol flowed, and with munchies inevitable, McDonalds long destroyed and delicious home made choc-chip cake slowing disappearing, it was ...

... on going to Paris, but if Kristina and Mary come up with a better idea, we just may do that instead. I will be home Saturday the 18th for sure, because that night I will be going to Lyon to see Banane Metalik. So much psychobilly, I think my head may explode. Updates and pictures after I return.

... drukte en drukte en na een wereldsafe van de keeper van Lorient zag het er goed uit voor Grenoble want een goal hing in de lucht. Tot ene van Lorient dus die wereldgoal uit zen sloffe schud: borstcontrole aan de middellijn en in 1 tijd uithalen..in die pin! Mooie goal. Eindstand 1-3. De supporters bleven ook zingen terwijl ze achter stonden...iets wat ze in Lyon niet kennen. Op de terugweg was het immmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmens druk en besloten we nooit meer zover te rijden voor een paar ...

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.

... opportunity of getting back on those skinny skis 20 years after I had done so for the last time! All four of them skied with different skis than I did, and while they skied like one can see during the cross country skiing events at the Olympics (what I call the "duck skiing technique"), I skied parallel the entire time since I do not know the other more proper technique. Skiing parallel is much slower and it is ...

This has been quite an exciting week! On top of getting accepted to Pratt, I also had midterms this week. The French don't do midterms but many American universities are not comfortable with accepting credit solely based on one exam. So just the American students this week had midterms, which don't apply to our French courses, and only apply to our American schools if they require it. Seattle University is ...

... that the university was closed for the rest of the day. We do not know if there will be class tomorrow or not. This is a video of my host brother Martin's peculiar hobby. it also contains a lot of footage of the house. The room where the foot juggling takes is place is in what is now my bedroom! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ViqCyxV -pY

... veneno, agua de vida, de lo pero qeu he tomado, es tan fuertem que dan ganas de vomitar, pero igual logre sobrevivir. AH por cierot estoy muy contento Julian nos llevo a las montanas y conoci la nieve de verdad por primera vez en mi vida, y pude jugar con ella hacer bolas, y deslizarme, es de lo mas chido que me ha pasado, creo qeu siempre recordare Grenoble en mi vida.

... un endroit. Tout le monde court, vite, vite, le blocage c'est par là! Sur place, les bloqueurs font face à... la masse des étudiants appelés à étudier le matin même ! C'est chaud, mais ça se gère, les CRS ne sont pas encore là, il y a trop de monde "innocent". Plus les minutes passent, plus la foule grossit, et se permet d'hostilités. On tempte de briser les lignes, on résiste, on s'engueule, la tension monte, le temps passe. "LES CRS SONT A L'INTERIEUR! ATTENTION!" On ...

... them up knows exactly where to find them (not that this mattered since I was on my own to go rent a car). Then, the train station is attached, so you walk about 200 meters from where you exit the luggage carousels and you're in the train terminal (still without even exiting the building). The first challenge came when I went to ask about my train ticket. I was able to get my ticket just fine, but then I had to ensure that the train I wanted to take would allow bikes ...
