I'm back. Finally. And this is because I found a solution to easily copy my pictures from the French blog to the English one. I use to upload them separately. And it kinda takes for ever. The solution I found is to copy the html code from the French post and paste it on the English one. And then change the text. Yes, pretty obvious but it just occured to me that spending 2 hours uploading

It's Halloween soon. We don't celebrate Halloween that much in France. But we are going to do it here. Mostly because when Flo and I were at Wal-Mart, checking out the big pumpkins, we thought: "Pumpkin soup is soooooo good. And pies, Oh my God, pumpkin pies..."So before buying the real heavy duty ones, I brought back a sample: Ain't it cute? And it looks very nice next to my tissue box too:Pale

Because I find it pretty cool that our neighboors' dogs have a song just for them (their names are Sugar and Honey...). Because I love the old tape layout. Because I am too lazy to blog about this weekend, too much pictures. Because I like this song. Because I want you to sing it all day long!

I need to, really. Here's the thing: I have an internet marketing class. My teacher is from India. He's got a strong accent and speaks really fast. So I have to focus a lot to understand what he says. And I don't know anyone in my class so I have nothing else to do but sit here and listen and focus really hard. And today I'm in my little bubble, I just listen to what this guy says and don't

We did it! We are finally here, in Macomb Illinois. The house is great, it was very dirty and crapy when we got here but we cleaned it up. Now its just a little crapy. The entire Chicago Atlantis team can sleep here in king size beds, it won't be a problem. We haven't done much so far, besides getting settled, buying furniture, get our phones, internet, groceries, keys, classes...People are nice,

I took those pictures more than a year ago, while I was doing an internship in Chile:I don't really have a polaroid camera. I wish I did. I didn't photoshop my pictures to make them look like a polaroid. I wish I was that good. I found this website that allows you to download a program to get fake polaroids. You then have a little thing like this on your desktop everytime you open the program:

I am getting closer and closer to the big trip! And I have a lot of lists. And a lot of piles. The "I'm taking this for sure" pile; the "I leave this here" pile; and the "I might take this if I have enough room" pile. This one is divided into several sub-piles depending on how much room I'll have left. But I'm doing good. I think I have everything. Well, ok, almost everything; and I have 5kg left

I want to tell you about an little animal that you guys don't have in the states. Well, if you have it, the americans I know are not aware of it. But I really don't think you have it.It's the marmotte. Wikipedia says you have the american version of that, the woodchuck. But I checked the pictures, it's not exactly the same.They are usually very shy and hide underground when then see someone, but

Seriously, I'm reaaaaally good. I don't mind not going to DePaul anymore, because I can just learn all that programing stuff on my own. Yes, that's how good I am.Check this out:This was my blog with a large picture before. Not so good right? It's because blogspot's templates are all very narrow. So I went into the html section of my blog, changed a few things here and there and...Voilà!Better.

So I have to tell you about the 14th of July. It's France's national holiday. Our 4th of July. You celebrate independance, we celebrate revolution. Bastille Day. The Bastille was an old prison in Paris, where the people came to take weapons in 1789 and then killed the king an all that, wrote "La Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du citoyen" (The declaration of the rights of man and of the

Voilà! I have it! So get ready guys because 6 frenchies finally managed to get those visas (after spending something like $980 000 for it) and are coming soon...I'm leaving on the 17th of August with Cécile. I have 1 month to figure out how to make my luggage for a year weight only 40kg. But it's very exciting, can't wait to be there!

Welcome on my new blog! I changed the adress of my french blog because it was very long to upload the pictures and I decided to have an english one too, so that I can tell you how a bunch of Swedes and Frenchies feel about living in the US...
