Summer Moodboard.

To be honest, for me this is the worst summer I ever had. Why? Every day I wake up with the idea that I have to finish that thesis and some exams in august and for me that's a heavy burden as I'm not your regular all planned and scheduled study girl (not asking for pity here). While normally during summer (resits or no resits) I just do whatever I like (read: travelling, hanging around my hometown, being lazy, playing lifeguard at the coast,...)

But not this time, bummer. It's something that has to be done, just got to start working properly and in an eyewink it should be done. But those first steps, awww so hard. Anyways, why not make the bad times a little less worse by a cheery summer moodboard collage of all things on my mind right now or would they make things worse?

It's not all negative karma these days by the way. Yesterday I met up with the girlfriend gang from high school. It's so hard for the five of us to get together a couple of times a year as we are all busy living our own very different lives. But if we meet it's always party time, literally or not, and within the course of the evening it's starts to feel as if we're all 18 again dealing with high school drama and nothing more than that. Yesterday we took the wise decision to pick a date while we were all together for our next meet-up. Happy to announce we're going to trip Geneva (Switzerland) for a few days the end of september. Spice Girl Power coming up there, evil bitches be alarmed.

Time is running out.

Thank you weekend,
finally a few minutes to write some Montpellier-updates on my blog again. Time just goes sooooo fast here and I want to slow it down.

Last weekend I finally went to the beach ! We took a road along the river "Lez" and arrived at Palavas plage and cycled further to Carnon plage. You're there in just an hour and along the road I even met some flamingo's. Some people of my class were there as well so we played a bit volleyball and I tried to understand the last schoolgossip (in french !), apparantly there's a sports tournament next weekend in Marseille between all Polytech schools of France. It wouldn't be me if I just kept on saying: "I wanna go I wanna go I wanna go", until the sportspraeses just gave in and promised me a place if someone cancelled.
And faith was in my favour because someone cancelled her place and now I'm going there! So happy.

The concept goes as follows: We leave friday morning at 5h30, when we arrive in Marseille we do a "défilé" and represent the Polytech of Montpellier by dressing up like blue aliens and scream and shout and sing these funny french Montpellier songs. During the day you do sportscompetitions and during the night you go out to these disguisement soirée's. We stay on a camping, so it's like some festival to me. The theme of friday is "cuir & moustaches" and the other one is "dress up in you're region's most famous celebrity". I really don't know where they get inspiration for these partytheme's but it's awesome. But the whole event stays a sportevent after all so I inscribed myself for the volleyball and footballcompetition. I have no clue what level these people expect me to have so I went to two volleballtrainings this week. Once with Ana at her school and that was quite chill but then yesterday there was training at my school... There was a trainer (I don't think he knows i'm not French) who kept on giving overenthusiastic game instructions and I kept on saying "oui oui oui". Feels great to play a groupsport again. But 4 hours of volleyball in one week plus all the cycling I do here really tires me so much and I'm getting Kim Clijster legs. Yeeeiks

The schoolweeks here keep on being crazy. We have test of so many courses or we think we'll have them so I'm kind of freaking out every now and then. On the other hand I spent a lot of time in school and get to know the french friends better and better.

For today my bike broke down again so I'm gonna start this saterday as a usefull human being and find a way to fix it.

A plus mes petits patates.
Bisous Luis
