August Goals

Heya !

I have a confession to make ... I am feeling awful for leaving this blog for so long ! I was thinking about posting all the time, but I really felt that the last couple of months were a sort of break from my ordinary life. I had to put my life in "stand by" and wait until things get back to normal. It truly was an incredible experience, but now I am feeling ready to move on. The back to school season is coming soon, and I can't believe it will be my last year in university. I feel like there are a lot of things I have to change in my life right now. It is time ! And what is better than having some goals for this new month ? :)

August Goals:

• Write my thesis and my report
• Sign up to the public library
• Go to the farmer market
• Have breakfast in bed
• Order pizzas from Domino's (missed them too much !)
• Go to the beach
• Donate blood
• Loose weight

Basically, this month will be challenging for me. I will come home in two days now (still can't believe it) after being abroad for five months. I have never been away from home and from my family for so long. Of course, Guillaume came to visit (that was four months ago) and my family came in May. But still. I haven't seen France, my brother, my dog and my friends since March. So August will be about spending time with my loved ones and relaxing. Also, I am planning to start a diet (yeap, I said it). Diet is such a big word ! I really want to have a healthier way of life: eat better and exercise more. I feel that it is time for a big change, and I am ready for it !

What are your goals for August ?

Goobye August and Hello September !

                   

I have always loved the month of September. And not only because it is my birthday ! When I was at school and learnt the months of the year, we always started with September. To me, it is the beginning of a new year. I am one of these persons who love going back to school. After two months away from everyone (because we have all been working the entire summer), I really enjoy seeing my friends, buying new clothes or change my hairstyle ! This month is always full of promises, like January is the month of good resolutions, September is a fresh start, full of new experiences, things I want to try or do.

                         

               

Moreover, as you probably read it in my presentation, I am crazy about tv shows. And by crazy I mean nuts ! I think I might watch about ten different programs, which is a lot ! So september is the period when the new seasons start, and I am always super excited to know what is going on and discover (more) new tv shows !

I also love how the landscape changes in September. It is still sunny and bright, but a bit more chilly in the morning and at night. I have noticed that there is a different smell in the air, a sort of "go-back-to-school-perfume". There are also tones of fruits and veggies we can pick in the garden, like melon, courgettes, tomatoes, nuts, berries ... Last Saturday, I have decided to take my Granny for a walk outside and we spent the afternoon picking blackberries and enjoying the nice weather. This is something I like about autumn in France, it is still cool and nice. We still have beautiful days before winter !
