.... and Everything !

I'm back to updating my blog through my heavy schedule. Actually i have some time at hand now, being the Armstice weekend... free time now poses a strange problem - we dont know what to do with it. We're so busy all the time, that work is like an addiction !

Anyway, the last 3 weeks have been BAD ! we had 3 midterm exams (stats, plus accounting and fin markets). We had classes alongside, which means the usual 3 assignments per week. To top it off, my group had to present on "Talent Management in China" for the HR course, and that happened to be on the same day as the accounting exam. Yeah... the last 3 weeks have been BAD !

I've been thinking a lot about Grenoble. I miss the place. The mountains, the first snow, the chilly breeze at this time of the year, the rain (as shitty as it can be at times). I even miss my hairdresser (Jouy en Josas has only 2 hairdressers, not much choice). I should go there more often... Geoffrey and Magali were in Paris last weekend, it was good to meet them. Reminded me a lot of the good times in Place Notre Dame in Grenoble. I think it's the people in Grenoble that make the place so special for me !

Oh, and i got my French residence permit, so now i'm a legal resident in France. The process was "incident free" (read : no questions about my Mauritian decent or origin).

This morning, I paid my income tax in France (yes, i worked here all of 2007). I now need a bailout plan to save me from certain bankruptcy !
