Paris is well worth a mass, I would suppose. But this time it took all my Christian spirit to stay the course. I hated the most to see all those pretty boys who are not even throwing me a gl… Read More

When I got up this morning, I could not recognize my relfected image in the mirror. I have changed overnight and to a scary degree. Wrinkles are extending around my eyes and my smile is turn… Read More

It is a nice day out. If my dad were alive and I were ten years old, he would dress me up for the winter and I would be obliged to go out. Then, we would be alone somewhere in the mountain… Read More

It has been a long time since I have posted on my blog, and I do not regret it. Christmas break was the culprit. I spent about one week with mother. Actually, now that my thesis is almost ov… Read More

Yesterday I went out with him. He seems to be quite polished and well cultivated. However, we are temperamentally incompatible. I am clumsy, I seem to beg to be reprimanded when I do somethi… Read More

Nothing has happened in the last few weeks. Nothing important to me, of course, except for the usual routine and a few mumblings that I will spare you for now. I just want to amuse myself. I… Read More

So I am not always at ease with pessimistic people like myself. Pessimism does not stem form a lack of confidence in the future: one still hopes that things will get better. Pessimism is abo… Read More

I really like to write from time to time. This week at home was only interrupted by the usual faces of friends and family. Mother has been quite busy these days. She called me with a list of… Read More

As I entered the brasserie, I immediately prefigured a bad encounter. My instinct told me to sit upstairs in the mezzanine, where I was the only customer. But the sweaty, chubby girl follows… Read More

So yesterday we had the strike. The cafeteria was closed, and those few students who had gotten adventurously to class, lined up outside to grab a hot dog for lunch. A few roaming dogs joine… Read More

Unreal city, I did not think it undid so many… the trip from the gare de Lyon to Versailles is but a small example of what a Parisian must endure every day. I got the laboratory very… Read More

Paris is not good. It is oversized, inhuman, suffocating and does not fascinate me in any way. The two thousand people I crossed today did not make any impression on me: souls that fly light… Read More

On the TGV to go home. I will change to the ICE to get back. It is a long way but the stay was fruitful. Perhaps I will change my mind about Paris someday Read More

I prepared my luggage to go to Paris. A guide that belonged to Dad, an old Baedeker with a red hard cover, two pair of jeans, some underwear, a couple of shirts. I do not think I will need a… Read More

So, next week I will be going to Versailles for my thesis. There is a good laboratory of linguistics over there, with all the state-of-the art equipment. It is not impossible that Marie Hel… Read More

This year, the summer has been shorter than usual, and rainy. Kids are still playing outside, as they do everyday, but their mothers started running after them waving pulls and jackets. One… Read More

But that boy, who works for Bayer Pharmaceuticals, who watches TV when he gets home, what does he know of me? Of my father? Of the hours we spent together on the green fields of the farthest… Read More

So, tonight I had a chat on the internet with a guy from Switzerland. Honestly, not my type. Mary would like him, because he is reiterative like a gospel, and completely full of himself. In… Read More

That boy’s nickname was Vogel, because he was skinny like a bird. He had stealthy eyes like wolves, and a pointy nose. He was not attractive at all to Mary and the other girls. In fact… Read More
