Exhaustion

This day was loooong. Whenever I'm not closing the restaurant it feels like I'm working forever...
After work I went to Vincent's appartement. It's really nice there. I tried to contact a friend to see what was up with his appartement but he hasn't responded yet, which makes me stressed. I don't know what I'm gonna do...Aaaah
I was thinking about going to Los Mexicanos to dance some Forro with the others, but I just feel soo exhausted that if I go tonight and work 12h tomorrow, in addition to Jess' goodbye party. I'm gonna be dead wednesday. And also theres a festival for short films in Butte Chaumont that I really wanted to see, but that was tonight...so I can forget that as well. shit...

anxious, stressed and exited at the same time

This appartement searching is driving me crazy. I don't wanna do it because I know it's giving me an anxiety attack. I'm definitely gonna pay more in rent this year. And it's driving me nuts since I'm not gonna have as much salary this year!
At the same time, I am ready to get a big room enough to actually be able to work and do my best in school. And all this searching goes parallell with the school starting, and I'm getting nervous just of thinking how busy I'm going to be, too busy to be caring about finding an appartement.
And I have to move in the cold...alone. I'm too afraid of asking people for help, is that going to be a problem in the future?

Last week of august/vacation

This month has had a lot of happenings!
Outdoor movies in the parc, concerts, picknicks in the sunset by the eiffeltower.
It's been vacation, and this past week has been a celebration of the end of the vacation (for others, I don't have vacation...)

Last night we had a soirée Cojean. Kuljit, one of the legends behind the toasters at Cojean are quitting. He has been working for Cojean for 2 years and are going to Tokyo to live the japanese life over there for a year.

But the night ended good, late, or early in the morning. After been eating someones crêpes and pasta in a strangers kitchen, I was finaly in bed 6:30 am ...zzz

And I thought I was tired

Last night I went out with some friends to a Brasilian bar. We danced Forro the whole night. It was fun. I didn't sleep much since I came home around 8 in the morning. But interesting enough I felt awesome. I've been working 12 hours straight now, and can feel the fatigue sneaking up on me. I need to get up early tomorrow, working at 7:30 am..!!!
The cleaning guy at the yoga studio has such an "interesting" lifestyle. Not only does he work 7 days a week, from 5am to 12 pm, which leaves him 5 hours to sleep. Then he came up to me today and said today was hard because he is on Ramadan, so he is not eating or drinking much right now...I mean...just to make life even easier...:P

Cissi's wedding gifts

Summer-outdoor movies-and so much fun!

Just got home from the outdoor movie. Me and Jean went to see Dans Paris. Now when the Cinema en plein air at La Villette is done, we took advantage of the other association Forum des Images, organizing outdoor movies in all the arrondissement in Paris. They are the ones that files all the movies that are filmed in Paris. So it's more french movies, while Cinema en plein air at La Villette was more international. But now it's all done with the outdoor movies, we'll have to wait a whole year until it starts again, buhuu...
But this week there are a lot of concerts going on at La Villette, and next weekend there will be concerts at Butte Chaumont so I'll try to go there too.
I'm so happy to be living in this beautiful city, it's been great weather and there are tons of things to do here, GRRRREAT!!

Brunch at Le Pain Quotidien, walk at Paris Plage, and cinema en plein air tonight.

Amistad at Cinema en plein air

Yesterday was a hot day under the sun in Bois de Vincennes. My body is totaly soared from capoeira, it's been about a month since last time I trained.
Lilian then went to a dinner at her friends place in Guy Moquet, while I spent the evening with some friends watching Amistad at Cinema en plein in la Villette. It was such a great evening.

It's 10:12 am now, and we're gonna head off to brunch in the 6th.
Have a nice day!

irritated

I just got in...side my appartement. Lilian arrived last night, I was really happy to see her. But today I got really annoyed, I lent her my key so she could go home before me. I got home just before midnight, and knocked on my appartement door, because the bell doesn't work, so I knocked, and no answer, I knock and kick and bang the door, still no answer. I call Jess to ask if he can call her phone, because it didn't work with my phone. But he didn't reach her either, so I guess it's her phone that doesn't work. So I stood there for a good time...still banging the door. The neighbour asks if something is wrong and offer a bed to me. No, I said, but I did ask if she had her balcony on the same side as us. She hadn't. I'm also not sure if I had dared to climb the facade of the building, we're still 5 stores up :S
Anyways. I keep kicking and banging, Jess offers me a place to stay over the night. The worse thing is I see light in the appartement, and I hear the TV on. So guessed she was asleep.
Then I try to text her. And THERE she comes opening up the door, like everything was peace and love on the whole fucking earth...! &R%EDFTFC FREW""%!!#/

What I was up to 5 in the morning...

going alone to the cinema...

...are probably one of the best things I love to do!
Last night I woke up at 7pm after an evening nap. I felt like the world was going under, so I decided to take a walk, and then ended up in the movietheater watching Harry Potter and the half blood prince alone. It was awesome! The movie was not that good, it was OK, not the best movie I've seen, but it was funny, and I love watching fantasy in the movietheater, because it brings me back to being a child.

I went to bed a bit late around 5 am but I'm planning on staying in the whole day to render my sketches i did last night. I feel like using my WACOM tablet, it's a bit dusty.
Juliana is leaving for Brazil tonight, and Lilian is arriving in Paris tomorrow evening. Wohoo!

A new deal!

My flatmate Juliana is cooking, and I'm sewing her clothes...lol :)

moi suedoise??

The other day at work, I went to Bruno and asked what I was suppose to do. He told me to see with Alban and ask if he needed my help.
Me:-Alban, est-ce que tu m'as besoin?
(alban, do you need me?)
Alban:-Quoi? Que est-ce que tu veut dire?
what? what do you mean?)
-Tu m'as besoin ou pas?
(do you need me?!)
-uhm, C'est pas francais que tu parles...
(uhm, it's not french what you're speaking...)

So I went downstairs to the others, and I told Bruno
Me: -C'est pas just de dire <>? Parce qu'il me comprends pas...
(It's not right to say Tu m'as besoin? because he doesn't understand me...)
Bruno: -UHm, que est-ce que tu veut dire?
(what do you mean)
-Ben, jai demandé à Alban s'il avait besoin d'aide, mais il me comprends pas...
-Ah! S'il a besoin DE TOI??
-Ah! oui, ok, s'il a besoin DE MOI...

and then he was like, But what country are you from?
I'm from Sweden, I told him.
What?? You, from Sweden? Really? I thought you were french!...

And during the whole day he asked everyone:
-Did you know Diana was from Sweden??

I'm taking that as a real compliment I guess.

can I too make one?

I started on Cissi's and Micke's wedding gift, I just wish I could draw like Danny Roberts....
