tout pêle-mêle

maman looked at me and said,
"t'es vraiment une jolie fille, t'as un joli visage"
i've never felt more beautiful in my life.

today i decided that peer reviewing papers is the most pointless thing any professor could do.
why did i go to class?
i could have done this at any other time.
oh well, the feedback was semi semi useful
(that's half of half, so a quarter....?)
whatevs.

i realize that i've been sitting in class thinking "duh!" a lot these past couple of days.
maybe i'm actually learning something, getting smarter, ready to graduate, applying what i'm taught, and being a victim of senioritis.
scratch that, that's been a part of my life for the past three years.
unbelievable that i'm graduating in less than three months.
real life right around the corner.

this morning i woke up at 5:00am and did what everyone person loves to do at that glorious time.
dishes.
one week's worth.
45 minutes.
i expect some kind of recognition no matter how selfish it seems.

this will only be funny to a handle of people...well it was funny to me at least.

today i wore my "important" shoes.
they make noise as i walk around and i feel special-in-charge-nothing-but-business-important.
the only place it bothers me slightly is in the library.
speaking of which, i took the elevator there for the second time in three years.
what an adventure!
slowest thing known to man.

at some point during work today i noticed that my laptop would only type out numbers and i frantically tried to figure out what in the world was wrong with this silly thing.
obviously i couldn't search for an answer since all i could get was "023875209812"
so i did the next best thing and called the laptop rental place
young man: "this looks like a pretty common issue that confuses people...
sometimes you hit the number lock key on accident..."
amandine: "oh yup, there it is!
well, this is quite embarrassing!
thanks for the help and have a wonderful day!"
hitting myself on the forehead multiple times.
i don't see the point in me sharing that information.
just another amandine moment i suppose...


this is pretty cheesy, yet so adorable. 




and this is a beautiful song
sure, maybe i cried.

text to maman: "i just want to come home and have some real food" 
maman calls: "well tonight we had lentils and rice (and all this other delicious food you can't partake of) hahaha!" 
response: "thanks..."

for the NEWS OF MY LIFE: PARIS IN THREE MONTHS PEOPLE!!! 
i couldn't be more excited, i've waited so so so long for this!! 
oh buddy!:)

Océane's return: 35.
Joseph made a countdown chain, quite adorable! 


also, here is my creation for laurine's birthday, applause is more than welcome! 
(it looks better in real life)

and the "cake"
can't believe this girl turned 16...

in bed before 11:05pm.
high five myself!

  2. NK! margot loves her birthday present, btw. we hung it up in her bedroom, so one minute she'll be playing in the living room and suddenly she'll say "my birds!" and run into the bedroom to see them. then she'll come running back and just go on playing with her toys. she also likes to talk about them when we're in the bedroom at bedtime, and she likes me to pick her up so she can touch them. so cute.
