Is this a come back on LJ or just a fleeting thought ? Maybe I'll take up my writing once more, if only to delay the inevitable job seeking and form filling...

Those idiots people call students at my university decided to go on strike (again) for god knows what - yes our president is an a$$ but can somebody kindly explain to me the point of blocking access to a campus, since it does'nt really bother anyone except students themselves. Anyway, if you look at it, maybe it was luck because with the load of work I have these days there no way I could have done it without skipping at least some classes.
Aeren is coming tomorrow from Lyon to see me and the bags under my eyes and I f***ing don't know where I'll take her since it's so dam dead over here (and I have work to do anyway). And I also signed up on Nanowrimo, it's my first time and I have absolutely no idea why I did that. Probably not the brightest idea I've had so far, thankfully it only starts on november 1st, right after Dagga's birthday party, who knows in what state I'll be.
And you know, the funniest is all this is that except the lack of cafeine, I feel good, as if I could do anything, for once ^^

I took an optional course in Women studies at uni this year. "Feminist theory in English literature", what can I say except that it is gradually changing the way I read, think, live. I find myself questioning things I would never have thought of questionning before.
And I discover that so many book have been written about this subject, out there for me to read... YAY!^.^
(By the way, my resolve finally broke and I treated myself to that evil thing you modern people use, called a myspace. Absolutely useless were it not for the link toJean Genet's myspace, not the writer(he's dead, duh) but the band (if you could say so) who.. well check it yourself ^^)

All of this seems so long ago now, I went back to university on Monday. New teacher, new subjects and new people, yet still the same useless people in the office, the same grey buildings and that rain I had fogotten for a while. Holidays are really over I guess.

It made me realise I had bee there in Golders Green for one month exactly.
When I said three weeks, well it was only three times a week, and what is a week compared to a whole MONTH. "I've been in London for one month" how accomplished it sounds ! Then again maybe something really happened during the 4th week, last week. I s[ent this week helping a friend getting everything ready for a departure -which was on Sunday - and working, seeing less and less of London, taking the tube on peak hours. From tourist to commuter. I felt I became a Londoner.
And I'm leaving it all behind in one week while London has so much more to offer still. Oxford Street, Camden Town, Whitechapel,Soho, Hammersmith, Whitehall. Literrary London, artistic London, frenzy London and oh so gay friendly London !... And I, laying on my bed in my empty room now that two of my roomates are gone, writing away to the sound of the broken flush.
I haven't left it yet, I already want to come back

It's like the 3rd time my boss calls me in the middle of the afternoon to tell me "you aint working tonight". First because no work means no money and then because I could have been doing something way more interesting than just waiting for the time when I'm supposed to take the bus.
I can hardly stand my roommates anymore, since they arrived the room is all dirty, they eat in it and never clean. Because they spent like the last 6 years of their lives partying and not building anything they believe me a nerd way too inocent to fit their standards. Not my fault I love my books better than they love their lives. Anyway the fact is I'm thinking of changing rooms for it feels more and more like THEIR rooms than ours.
Fortunately I made some good friends in Golders Green and last night we chatted in the hallway (because you cant use the living room between midnight and 8 am) until 4 am... only to be woken up by my roommates at 8, of course.
I went to King's cross this afternoon (quickly of course) and saw platform 9 3/4 haha, not really interresting but now I can say I saw it ^^. Personel from the Tube are on strike by the way, so that from last night to thursday only 3 lines are working : Northern, Picadilly and Jubilee, I feel sooooo lucky to live on the Northern line.
Reading list for uni is finally online, I have a dozen books to buy before going back home, I'm afraid I'll have to buy a new suitcase to carry them :/ No I just have to find some time to go to Charing Cross road ^^
ps : Starbucks' caramel frappucino mmmmmmmm

I went to bed around 6am, still waiting for our real night out to begin. The next day I woke up late but still decided to go to St James’Park. I stayed there for half an hour and then went to work, I could not go back to Golders and eat, for the tube was way too slow that day, just my luck!! No wonder I was so slow in the evening, I was starved :/
On Sunday my roommate introduced me to her friends, she took me to her parish. I attended a regular Christian mass for the first time in my life, in a Church full of French speaking black people, right in
Monday was my day off and the Notting Hill carnival. I woke up to late to follow the French people of Golders to the carnival. I took the Tube to the

Muahahaha I found a cyber café just nearby the place I ‘live’ !!! Once a geek, always a geek!
I got an interview for a job today, but when I arrived the person whose place I was supposed to take had decided to stay, so no job for me.
I spent 4 hours in the tube today.
I also walk a lot.
I’m losing weight, good thing. I may have to buy new, more fitting clothes…
The owner of the Korean shop nearby is really cute.
I keep passing by the shop just to grab a sight of her…. :D

The days after the night we spent at shimjilbang, Wednesday, july 18th, we were supposed to visit Panmunjeon and the demilitarized zone between South and North Korea. At 9 pm we were at the meeting point in the Lotte Hotel in Seoul, only to find out that Kyosunim (our teacher) had not properly booked our seats in the tour. It was thus postponed to Friday. After some more arguing we decided to go first to Namdemun; traditional market place in Seoul where you can find pretty much everything at a low price. We then took the subway -Seoul subway, just imagine ! - on our own because Kyosunim had to stay with her sister, to Gyonguk palace in Seoul where we met up with Nohun.
Afterwards Nohun took us to Insa Dong; the place where most
We spent the next morning cooking in the temple's kitchen for the reception at Korea's Foundation we were to give in the evening. Korea's Foundation is the society that pays the wages of our teacher and supports many of our projects. Because I spent the day helping organize the reception I changed in my dress at the very last second… and got stuck in the closet I had elected as my hiding place (no time to go hide in the toilets downstairs. I was lucky Marcia heard me and rescued me quickly or it would have been very very embarassing :/
After the reception we rode coach to Oryu Dong, where Kyosunim's family had booked rooms for us. The main asset of our hotel was that is was cheap and… OMG it was actually a love hotel ! First thing we noticed was the mirror above the bed :D We spent the next three nights there.
On Friday we finally visited Panmunjeon and the DMZ, yeah you read right, somehow they managed to turn the South/Noth border into an attraction for foreign tourists. In the afternoon we were back to Seoul, we took the subway again to meet with a group of Bon San artists - Bon Sang is traditional Korean masked dance - they taught us the basics of their dance and music and allowed us to try on their costumes and masks. I did not like it at first, just like anything sport related like dance, but in the end it was pretty fun ^.^
Then they invited us to the restaurant with other friends of them. We drank and sang, a common evening in Korean. After that Kyosunim invited us, and a film director who was there, to drink beer in a pub. At 1am the taxi drove us back to Oryu Dong… where Kyosunim's sister came to drive us to the club where her boyfriend was a DJ. We were supposed to stay there for only a short time… We stumbled into our hotel room between 4 and 5am, efficiently disturbing those of the group who had gone to bed right after the restaurant.
On Saturday we went to Yonsan, the electronic market, where you can find anything electronic related at a lower price than in France, I bought speakers for my PC.. and managed to stuff it in my suitcase !! \o/. In the afternoon we went back to Namdemun for last minute souvenir shopping. Some of the boys went to a book shop while Kiang Sin and Nohun led the rest of us to another district for Marie Laure and Christelle to buy hanbok (traditional Korean dress) in a shop Nohun knew. It took a long time and we were tired so with Kiang Sin we went to a have a drink. Their coffee shake was heavenly.
In the evening we had all planned to pack our things in peace but noooooo there had to be another dinner out with the formor boss (if I got it right) of Korean Airline, well all I know is that there was soju and meat, and soju and even more soju, perfect way to end this wonderful trip to
I packed my things in the middle of the night, which probably explains why I forgot many of them, among which my diary, of course I WOULD forget it :/
The flight back was uneventful, I had a long conversation with my neighbour. He sounded agreeably surprised to learn that so many French people are interested in Korean movies, dramas and culture as a whole.
