Quotations...

As you know, this English version is a translation of the French one... When I started this blogsite, I thought I could be wrinting only in French, but I want to be sure that all my friends can read what I am wrinting, so that's why I decided to create an English version of it.

Here, I have a problem with translation. All those who know me know that I am fan of quotations. This is what is in the French vesrion. As these quotations come from famous authors, famous books, I can't take the risk to translate them, and loose something in the translation. So I decided not to translate this article...

Don't worry, I will try to avoid as much as I can, to have differences between the 2 versions!

A very eventfull day...

An eventfull day…

I know, you missed me… But I really couldn’t come yesterday because of a too buisy day !

As I am still very nice and I like you, I will tell you how it was…

At 6, the alarma clock rings… It is never the nicest moment of the day! But I manage to get myself out of the bed and walk to the bathroom… I take a nice shower, that’s good!

One hour after, I am ready to go… And the day really starts! Oh yes, it’s the first school day! I had to push all these little students to be able to get in the bus! (OK, I could have waited for the next one, but I would have been late at work!)… So, I get in… My second bus is less crowdy… But it’s true that this one is not going to the center… But, there, big panic! It goes a completely other way than it usually does!!!! And I suddenly remember that the buses destinations are not the same during summer vacation and during scholar time! Finally, panic fades away, my bus changed its way, but went to the correct place! I’m even at work 4 minutes early!

8:00: I start taking calls and managing our mail box… I don’t have a minute… Until my HR coordinator contacts me to get my sickness leave note… Of course, I bring it immediately to her office, and leave it to a not really smiling blond Czech girl… As I already said, I don’t understand much of this stupid paper… But the blond girl doesn’t say anything so I go back to my desk.

10 minutes later, the chat window of my HR coordinator opens again… “Sophie, there is a problem…” Uh???? What??????? What’s wrong now? Well I re-read the sentence 3 times before reading the following… Even if I actually didn’t have much choice! And what a following! I am still officially ill! That’s why there was only one date on the paper! There, I choose to laugh about it… My HR’s chat window is full of smileys, and very patiently, she explains me everything… I have a date for control… This day, my doctor must decide how long my sickness leave will still last, and I can’t be at work and be officially ill at the same time!

So, she calls my team leader to explain her… And I am sent back to the doctor! MY HR takes care of changing my day-off as sickness day, so that I can take it another time. I go back to the doctor. For me it is ridiculous because I am now feeling perfectly well! Well, I don’t care.

Once I am there, the doctor asks me if I am feeling better… And tells me “So, you will go back to work on September 10^th…” Uh???? What did she just say?????? Is she crazy or what? She could see that I am not ill anymore, and I don’t need one more week! So as I am honest (what do you want, my parents raised me too well…) I answer that no! I am feeling so well that I forgot the control and I already went to work this morning! “Really? Are you sure?” And I leave, with a note of end of sickness leave… That I directly leave at the appropriate person’s office…

And I go back to work… I am immediately sent to lunch break, but I don’t mind. I use this time to fill in my university registration form.

And it’s time to start working again… And I don’t kow why, my computer doesn’t want to work anymore! I really can’t do anything… So, cruel irony, I call helpdesk… And it lasts… The whole afternoon! So finally, I didn’t work at all in the day! Well I just managed to take 25 calls between all this, but it is just a routine…

It’s time to finish… I wait for Hana and we go to the oriental dance… On our way, we stop to buy water and chocolate grapes… And of course, we arrive late at the dance!

We warm up a bit and start… I must admit that the lesson is a bit boring… We did almost only “eights”… But from back to front!

After 2 hours of this, we finally chat in the dressing room, and we decide to go all 3 (and the very cute Ivana’s daughter) to have a drink. We go back to the center and enter a pub that Hana knows. Food is very good, and I offer me a wonderful hot chocolate! Which is absolutely not reasonable when you know the estate of my bank account… But anyway, we can pay with tickets!

It’s getting late… Outside, the air is freezing… It mustn’t be more than 6 degrees, and I only have a very thin sweater, and a jeans jacket… And my hair are dressed with a bunhead, so I get little drops of cold rain on my neck… Not really nice! And I will wait for the bus 12 minutes… (I knew that I should have ran to catch the previous tram!)

"Přišti zastávka Koniklecová"*… Finally the bus arrives ! I must confess that I took the hard decision not to go back home see my cats and grab a clean pair of socks… And I don’t know why, but I’m happy! Isn’t it what is important?

20 minutes later, I arrive at Fito’s… It is so late that he is not even waiting for me anymore and was about to go to bed (What??? How can he dare????????) But of course, I forgive him. And 5 minutes later I fall asleep in his arms.

I didn’t have one little moment to think, alone with myself… But as I read this, I just realize that it was only a typical day… And it has only been happiness… I am with people I love, doing things that I love… Problems? There is always a solution. So life is beautiful, and will continue being…

*Next stop: Koniklecova.

Horseriding...

All those who know me, know that apart from Ballet and languages,I have another passion... Horseriding! But my current riding degree doesn't satisfy me anymore... I would like to take lessons again, and when I go back to france, I would like to have my own horse...
I am looking for a club in brno, where I could take lessons in the week end... But it might be quite difficult because here during the week end there is nothing... All activities are during the week... But I still have hope... And that would be an excellent occasion to make friends who speak only czech... And so practice and improve this language!

A painfull start...

I guess you expected I would talk to you about starting ballet again... We always have a weird face once our hair is dressed, make up is done... We completely change ourselves to dance... Dance? I tried yesterday... After 3 months when I streched sometimes, I did some pliés, I wore my pointe shoes of course... But a real lesson? Never! So I decided to start again slowly yesterday... I only did some barre exercises... And this morning, ouuuuuuuuuuuch! My body was so painfull! Of course I pushed my en-dehors and pulled on my legs... But i'm feeling like I danced yesterday for the first time in my life!!! So that's clear, next year, even if I don't find summer ballet classes, I will ahve to train at least twice a week alone at home! Good luck to all those who are currently experiencing this!

Good resolutions...

Time to go back to school is also the time to take your good resolutions... So I will make you the hudge honor (I know, I know...) to tell you mine...
-Loose weight... Because now it is not optional anymore: it is necessary!
- Finally speak Czech fluently... I'm working on it...
- Dance more: at least 4 ballet lessons a week , plus one course of belly danse and one of modern dance... If I can do more that's great!
- Become the best help desk agent of the team... yes because I complain easily about people not doing their job... So mine has to be perfect, doesn't it? But actually I hope I am not that far from perfection!
- As already specified, I want to success in my first univerity year...

So that's it... But as I may have forgotten some, I will just say in short, that I will become wonderwoman!

Back to school...

I am decided, on monday I will download the registration form from Lille university! I chose Foreign Language and Culture, English, by corrispondance... So it will be English, German, and Russian! But I'm still thinking... And if I tried Spanish as a second language? With my Colombian boyfriend it shouldn't be too hard to catch up with the level... Anyway, whatever I choose, it will be the bad choice... Because i would like to study English, German, Russian,Czech, Spanish, Italian, Chinese... And with the landing of Brazilians and Tunisians, maybe I should learn Portuguese and Arabic as well? And of course, Slovaque seems to be a good choice... Well, all this will keep me buisy! Anyway, whatever I choose, wish me good luck! I might become "motivation asker", for the days when I will come back tired from ballet, and I will sill have to work on Russian declinations... But it's decided, at the end of the year, I will get my degree!

September...

Yes, OK, my calendar is one year late... But I found this picture so beatiful that why should I have continued searching for one of this year? And to be honnest, I went till page 50 in Google image... And not once I found a picture of September 2007...
So you will have these two studious little girls to wish the welcome to the cold, to school... To the normal routine!
Personnally, I don't really like September... But this year I am looking forward to study, and August was a hard month... So, who knows? Maybe September will be a nice month? (well, for now it's freezing!)

Bagheera...

This is my sister's little cat... Well, it was my sister's little cat. Because a bit before he was 2, a stupid tourist who was driving too fast hit him...
This is a short note for drivers: will it be my brother next time? Speed limitations are here for something... And if you are too stupid to respect them, sell your car, we will all feel better!

Sorry for this complaint... But I'm feeling better now!
