Hello everyone!

I can't believe that last year, I was studying my ass off for the Bac. And now I'm watching others freaking out and studying before the exam that starts on thursday. I feel old xD
Anyway, it's become kinda boring round here, we are all a bit confused without any homework to do or exams to study and there's not a lot of stuff to do. So yesterday, I went out with my twin and my two best friends in the dorm and we walked in the city for at least three, maybe four hours. The sun was shining and we felt courageous :) I'm ashamed to admit that I've never really visited the city even though I've been there for almost a year :/ I'll try to do it more next year.

On the evening, we bought a shitload of crisps, boiled sausages in a plastic kettle (they were delicious but it still smells) and then we sat in my sister's bed and watched The Shining, one of my friend had never seen it before and it was delicious to see her slowly freak out. I love that movie so much<3
However, we were all a bit scared when we went to bed at 1am and we realized that we were probably the only ones awake in the building (a lot of students have gone back home) and that the room in front of mine was the number "237" (if you know the movie, you know what I mean) xD

Anyway, it was a great evening and I can't wait to have more of that kind. I'm bringing Clockwork Orange next week and my friend brings Die Hard :D And now I'm just watching The Big Bang Theory (the episode with Summer Glau was AMAZING) and... this made me ridiculously happy (SPOILERS for Doctor Who
YAY for the end of the year!

HEY GUYS. I'M ON SUMMER HOLIDAYS.


well, not completely, I still have to go to class and I have to stay in my room until the 25th but I've got no homework, half of my classes are over, the sun is shining, the grass is green and the beer is cheap!
This year went so fast! I can't believe I used to stress over it because it was amazing and I can't wait to study even more and do a lot of fascinating stuff. I'll regret those words in September but whatevs :)
I'll keep you updated about my being bored and procrastinating. Last use of the tag hypokhagne on the 25th when the teachers decide whether I can pass to khagne (which is 100% sure, they love me ;D) which will be next year's education tag and pretty much the main thing I will complain about in 2010. yay!

1.When you see this, post another Buffy quote in your LJ. Let's see how long this can go on.

"She wouldn't even kill me. She just left. She didn't even care enough to cut off my head, or set me on fire. I mean, is that too much to ask? You know? Some little sign that she cared? It was the truce with Buffy that did it. Dru said I'd gone soft - wasn't demon enough for the likes of her"

Aww, Buffy <3 I watched the 7 seasons last summer but I wouldn't mind rewatching them all. Especially when we won't get the last episode of Dollhouse (which is kinda good but I doubt I'll be religiously rewatching it in a few years)

2.Easter break! Three long, beautiful days to do nothing, just lie around, watch tv and eat a lot of chocolate. This week was pretty alright, although our English teacher went bananas this afternoon for some reason. I dunno why really, he didn't appreciate our lack of reaction at his questions (friday afternoon, dude, you can't expect much) so he started to shout and some other students shouted back at him and he looked very glad of it. I think he's the kind of teacher to really love confrontation, you know? Having arguments not related to the class with students :/ If he likes that, he shouldn't be a prépa teacher but a middle school teacher :/
I also learnt this week that a goth girl in the class just above me (I'm in HK, she's in KH, yeah, it's complicated) wrote a book when she was 17 years old. I didn't check it out but a friend took a look because it's in the school library and it's apparently hilarious, about an angel who wants to kill herself or something. Brilliant <3

3.ANYWAY!
*I'm currently downloading the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, can't wait to watch it because I just loooooove the first series (and the manga) and I hope it'll be good :D
*this picture makes me ridiculously happy: thom yorke is a fan of himself <3
* trailer for Moon. It's a movie made by Duncan Jones aka David Bowie's son (his real name is Zowie Bowie btw, which is just too awesome xD) and starring Sam Rockwell, aka sexy bitch. It's a sci-fi movie that looks all kind of amazing and everyone in Sundance jizzed their pants when seeing it. Can't wait!

HELLO GUYS!
What a week! I'm glad it's over though, two weeks of school left and I'm on holiday. And did I mention I'm going to ROME the first week of holiday? Because I doooooo. It's going to be amazing, I've always wanted to go there and we studied a lot of Rome's history this year so I can't wait to see it FOR REALZ.

Anyway, nothing interesting happened this week except yesterday evening because I went (with school) to the Opera of Lille to see Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny (Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny) which was AMAAAAAZING. It's by Brecht and I'm sure that even if you don't know the opera, you know "Alabama Song" which was covered by The Doors or David Bowie. I never went to the Opera before and seeing a piece by Brecht and Weil, whose work we've studied a lot in Literature or German classes, was fascinating!

The songs were great, the set and costumes were outstanding. As for the actors, just wow! Such voices, it's really impressive! It gave me goosebumps, honestly :)

Did any of you watched the series finale of Life On Mars US? I haven't yet but I really want to see it because it's apparently a thing of beauty. spoilers )

HELLO :D
THIS WEEK = WIN! So much stuff happened, it was truly wonderful :) On Monday, I gave my blood for the first time, it was great although I felt a little weird afterwards. On Tuesday evening, two of my best friends, my twin and I went out to get a little drunk on St Patrick's but France is total fail and no bar sold any Guinness. I understand why St Paddy isn't celebrated or known in France but a little effort? Still, it was great. The hangover on a Wednesday? Not so much. I caught a cold and had to stay in bed all afternoon, losing precious time to work on my philosophy essay. But eh, nevermind cauz I finished it today :D
On Thursday, I went to a demonstration in Lille. You might have heard of the strikes and demonstrations. A lot of different people came and it gave me hope about how a nation could stand up to its leader. Really wonderful :)

I took a few photos, I think they give you a good idea of the atmosphere. The huge weird babies are part of a project called Lille 3000.
photos :D )

Hopefully, all of this won't be in vain :)

Anyway, BSG finale was broadcasted yesterday, wasn't it? PLEASE DON'T SPOIL ME! I'm only two or three episodes behind and I'd be very angry if someone posted spoilers without a cut. Hope it was good and wow, I can't believe it's already over. I discovered it last year I think and it certainly is one of the best tv shows ever. I'l miss it :'

AHOY, ME HEARTIES!
I'm on holiday! Two weeks of pure delight and procrastination <3
As I failed again to update my lj this week, I must tell you what I've done.

1. HUGE FUCKING PARTY ON FRIDAY NIGHT. (mentioned here and I realize I haven't answered to anyone's comments, sorry and thanks a bunch for the compliments about the hair <3)
OMG, IT WAS EPIC. Really it was, those economics/capitalistic students really know how to throw a party. We were 300 or so in a wonderful place, the belfry of Douai. Most of us were dressed up in white and they did some really cool lighting effects. Before going there with 2 friends and my twin, we stayed at another friend's apartment and we...prepared ourselves for the party? We drank a lot - because there was no way we could buy alcohol at the party, it was unbelievably expensive - so when we finally arrived around 9pm, we were already warm and danced like crazy until 3am. Cheesy music, awful techno, annoying boys who try to dance with you and drunk students who throw up everywhere but whatever, it was awesome. I loved every minute of it and it was a great opportunity to get to know my classmates :) And I also saw my ex-boyfriend, who was at my school 2 years ago! Unexpected but welcome, he's a nice guy :)
We went back at the apartment at 3am and slept until 7am, but jesus, 4 in a bed, even large, is insane. My back still hurts xD

2. On Thursday, they FINALLY gave us our khâlot. I think I already wrote about it here but basically, it's a little hat that students of classes préparatoires wear and where they can put lots of lapel pins that symbolizes their life, hobbies, what they study...
Here's mine!photos )
Belzé is my nickname (=Beelzebub), the book and feather means that I love literature. The harp shows that I can't live without music and the upside down bottle at the back means that I'm in the dormitory and that I came back drunk one day (one evening, not during school Oo) I've put an old Bugs Bunny lapel pin, the red strip means that I'm in my first year of studies, and the brown colour of the khâlot means that I study literature (also represented by HK - hypokhâgne, the name of my class). If I studied economics, it'd be light blue, green is for biology and dark blue for maths and physics. There's a lot of rules concerning the khâlot, it's quite hilarious, we could buy pins meaning that we were dreamy or a premature ejaculator (an arrow) xD
I still have to add a few badges to make it fully mine but I already love it, it's too adorable and I finally feel like I'm part of my school. It's great :D

THE OSCARS! Predictable but still enjoyable :) I didn't watch the whole thing (never did) but Hugh Jackman's intro was lovely (WOLVERINE) and I'm so glad Slumdog Millionaire won lots, it deserves it <3 And Kate Winslet! Finally! :D

I also watched the first episode of Dollhouse yesterday...I'll continue to watch (especially because my bb Matt Kesslar is in episode 2) but it didn't thrill me much. I don't see anything special about the plot and the whole thing seems a bit forced. What did you guys think? And does it get better?
I'm still watching Being Human. I really like it, Gilbert was hilarious <3

HELLO!
I'm such in a good mood today, it's quite unbelievable. First of all, I've had the BEST grade in Literature (ya know, the mock exam of last week). I'm so proud of myself, I don't really care to have beaten everyone but on a personal level, I feel like I'm finally learning stuff and getting good at something :D
(won't last long I think! xD)
AND MERLIN GETS A SEASON 2 :D

On a not so good side, my school has randomly decided that it'd be nice to block websites and thus, facebook, youtube and even photobucket, tinypic and (horrors of horrors) ohnotheydidnt@lj :(
But eh, I found one or two websites that allow the bypassing of the proxy so whatever, you won't stop me from my daily dose of celebrity snark :D

WELCOME to all my new friends from [info]onlyechoes's meme :D Enjoy your stay!
Also, this. Spread the looove (to me! I need it <3)

Seriously guys, I feel so relieved now. I might not have excellent grades (although I do feel like I've aced History and Literature) but at least, it's over. I feel like I could sleep all day and then some more. My fingers are completely numb and my mind is blank :|
And the next one is just in a few months (March I think) but WHATEVER :D
ANYWAY. What should I do this week-end to celebrate? :D
