Semaine chargée...

Image credits: Transport for London

First, with Ada, we kept on searching for a flat and we found something : a flat with 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom in Balham,in South London... The landlady is really nice, we signed last Monday ! We move in the 1st of October. Ada will stay until the 30th of September. And I until the 30th of June.

Last Saturday, I attended Dégel's General Assembly so I came back to Paris just for that (I also had to get some clothes back that I had left at my former flat, rue de Provence - by the way, Benoît did a great job in my flat, that's unbelievable !). Anyway, I was treadted as a Prince at my return. I slept at Pierre and Jerome's place who made a little bed for me, who made breakfast for me, and stuff. It really hit me when I got back to London... I'm looking forward to next year, when I get back !!!

Monday evening, we hung around London Bridge and we got to Fat Ben whom you were saying stuff like "Up your arse", blah blah blah, it was really funny...

Too bad we can't see anything on that picture...

Now, I need to find a job ! I had an interview last week with a firm but it hasn't been really good.

Otherwise, I started watching ads to be a waiter, Ada pushing me to seek everywhere... I'm OK to go anywhere but I'm sick ! I've got a cold ! And I just can't imagine myself asking people for a job and sneezing in their faces. All the more as my bag and my shoes are totally damaged ! I need to buy new ones, it's deep shit...

Tomorrow I have an interview with a web agency who said they were "very impressed" by my work. We'll see. I just hope they will want me right then and that I won't be so ill, just to be able to talk !

Pride and Prejudice

Last Monday, with Ada, we went to Turnpike Lane to visit a flat. The chick was cool and the house was quite good but quite small as well... Then, as Ada had won free tickets, we went to see Pride and Prejudice. Okay, I understood only every other word but it was crap anyway. Too "soap opera"...

The day after, we wanted to visit another flat but the area was so far away and so lost in the middle of nowhere that we didn't even visit it actually. We decided to visit only pleasant areas now.

Today we wanted to visit a flat in Wimbledon but actually it was really far, no tube station. Once in front of the house with the so called beautiful garden full of trash, we knocked on the door but nobody came. We left and we went into an Internet cafe to print our CVs, so that we can get hired in a Soho bar ready to hire new people ! Then, Ada left to work for a promo, she'll be free in hardly 2 hours and we'll find each other to go home. In the meantime, I surf on the Internet and I post on my blog. Whereas I could go to Soho and ask for work. I know.

London : departure and arrival

I arrived in London yesterday. Last sunday, my parents had moved my stuff out of my Parisian flat and when I had seen the empty room, I totally depressed and shed into loads of tears.

Friday evening, at the agency, Sophie, Elise, Meriam, Sunny, Rémi, Jérôme, Marie, Sam, Guillaume, Maxime, organized a drink for me and they offered me 2 t-shirts and... a digital camera ! So good !!!

Then, with Dégel, Yannick paid for my dinner.

And then, yesterday morning, at Gare du Nord (the International Train Station), loads of Dégel's people came to say goodbye ! Benoît, who's gonna live in my flat and who helped me take my stuff to the station, Philippe, who was not alone, Laurent, Stéphane, Xavier, Marion, Nolwenn, Guillaume, Laurent II... In the end, we took the best picture ever just in front of the check-in and they gave me a poster with sweet notes on it...

I was really moved and when I arrived in front of the train, I got sick ! During the travel, which seemed to last entire days, I couldn't stop crying. And then, when I arrived in London and Ada came to pick me up, I cried again.

So we went to have a cola in a fast-food and we got home. We prepared ourselves to go out and we went to 3 different bars until 4am ! In the end, I was so over-tired, I fell asleep on the table. We went home completely exhausted, we connected my PC to the Internet, looked for some ads for a new place to live in and we fell asleep.

Paris, my friends, all that, I'm gonna miss all that. I'm sure I'm gonna have some mates here, but maybe not friends, just because of the language maybe... But I'm gonna have fun here. As soon as I get a flat with Ada and a job, it's gonna be easy. And I will be able to get back to Paris with money !

See you soon Paris !!!

Et voila !

Gaganymede's BlogTower, one year after, Jujupiter's WebTemple, has just gone live !This second site completes the first one with sections such as the edito, but also enables me to use my server as a space for posts and pictures. And it's another reference in my Web developer's CV !

You can see I already copied the best posts from my former MSN Space, so that you can already appreciate some content ! (But, you know, I also made a gallery and an article for "X" !)

I hope this website will live for a long time and that people will come to see it and that my friends, my family, my future boyfriends will add some comments ! (which means : Go on, ADD A COMMENT !)
