Haha, watching the X Factor right now. Apart from that nothing's going on really, been at work all day so feeling like I need to completely chill myself out.
How's your weekend so far?
How did you find the X Factor tonight? Few strange ones on there huh!?! |

...what do you mean by "fan"? if you're asking whether i just watched the trilogy again last weekend and loved every second of it or whether i have a legolas pillowcase then i suppose i could be called a fan. hahaha
exactly! AND have you watched all the extra's?
Love the one with Viggo's photo's on it:) I even went as far as visiting the mordor site in New Zealand, how sad am i?! :)
oh you win...sigh...i haven't watched the extras or the extended versions...i'm jealous..i would have followed in your (and the fellowships! LOL) footsteps had i been in New Zealand! good call! ;)
Saying that makes me feel like dwight on an episode of the american version of the office! haha
The best thing about the extra's is that there is a lot of footage on how they made all the armours, wapons, masks, and costumes. Loved to have been part of that!!! |

I know, they kinda made an arse of themselves when they were begging for a second chance, and that lassie was in tears. Thought Simon was a bit cruel for walking away and letting Danni and Louis face the music!!! |

Is it the project you're kinda nervous about ?
Yes, I know exactly what I'm going to do, it's just that the motivation isn't there. And yes, this is one of the projects that make me nervous. I'm going to teach didactics to former classmates who didn't exactly like me (I passed the exams the first time around but some of them have failed for the third time running so that's why I'm going to be their teacher now) and I'm worried they won't take me seriously. Plus I get on really well with my supervisor and some people were talking two years ago (even if there was nothing to talk about really - they were just making things up to fill their boring conversations), I don't even want to know how they're going to react when they find out he got me a job!!

Practising sports for free ! How awesome !
Do they have kayaking ?
I don't think kayaking is an option in Lyon! But as far as I know there's a wide selection of sports going from gymnastics to swimming or from boxing to horse riding. What is krav maga exactly? |

...eh *shrug*...we ate at a restaurant that anytime i've ever eaten there i always regret it. the food is nothing to rave about. it's the kind of place to go for breakfast at like 2 in the morning after a night out with your friends (read: mates) that's the only time ppl should go. an error on our part. haha

Jealousy at work...i experienced it too.
Some co-workers tried to give me shit because i got on well with our boss. What they didn't realise (or maybe they did i don't know) is that i was better skilled, worked better than them and shared similar work ethics with our boss.
I cared about their comments and then stopped caring when i decided to leave the company.

Krav maga was originally a self-defence technique developped in Israel. Now it is taught to all kind of publics (le GIGN par exemple).
Boxing ? Try it ! Volleyball would be nice too. |

I'm in the exact same situation. I passed those exams because I worked really hard and my supervisor was extremely proud of me because 1/ I was his only linguistics student who passed the agrégation and 2/ it had been 8 years since someone passed that exam in linguistics and the last person was him! I don't really care about their comments either but I'm worried he might get in trouble for something that never happened...

Oh I know what Krav maga is, now that you've explained it. My brother would like to learn a few techniques.
I won't try boxing, I'm too much of a wimp! And I'm not allowed to play volleyball anymore (or any other sports involving a ball) ever since I sprained my thumb badly playing volleyball in highschool. |

Well, the person i'm talking about was a lady in her 50's - not a guy. This i think makes it even harder to deal with.
The other girls at work were total bitches with me....
One day my N+1 (a guy) told me he had a problem with me coz i was too good at my job and the other girls were jealous...he said it wasn't my fault, that i should ignore their bad behaviour and keep on with my work..and he tried talking to them with no avail, it didn't help i was the newbie in the office..
Bravo for the aggrégation - it is awesome.

Yes, that and the fact that he's only 33 and kinda good looking (though not my type). It's always made me smile how girls would queue up at the end of his lectures just to talk to him or ask him silly questions which inevitably led him to come talk to me about the latest linguistics article he'd read. (The guy's a workaholic and few people are interested in linguistics so I guess that's why he enjoyed my company).

Yeah, my brother's weird! ;-) Just kidding! |
