Summary: Leuven will have to come with a really cool master-thesis proposal to get me back there. The latest entry is from just before I moved into this beautiful room in the south of Paris.
Paris-life was especially study orientated the last month, exams were last week, in a really different system than the Leuven one. Where we used to have two weeks of 'blok' or 'semaines de révision' and three weeks of exams, here we had 5 days to do the learning and just one week to do all the exams. But no oral exams, so less stress (unless that last article presentation counted as an oral exam, but with the evolutionary ecology training ;) it didn't feel like a really big task). Oh and the best exam was perhaps the English one, or the French one ^^
Not sure at all whether I passed them all, especially the thursday exam was not a real big success, but 'tweede zit' is in January, so no problem =)
November was kind of cool also, with two weekends in the Netherlands/Belgium and to see a lot of you again. Next time will be in february, the 18/19/20 weekend (with the now usual: friday/saturday in Tüddern and sunday in Leuven). And the party for Victor's birthday with a lot of people in my room (and a not-so-happy secretary)
But now the second semester is approaching!! And real Christmas-holidays for the first time in four years! For now, I plan to finally do some touristy stuff around Paris, do the inevitable Christmas-shopping and take the train to my grandparents' place "near" Le Mans. After Karen and Sanne will come to celebrate NYE here in Paris. The weekend after that Stefan and Michiel are coming and at the end of January my sister will come =D
First weekend of february a wine-harvesting festival in the east of France, after a weekend at home and then it's almost the end of my Paris stay (it's coming soooo fast).
In march and april I will live in Banyuls-sur-mer, a little town, just next to the Spanish border, located next to the Mediterranean sea to follow a course. After some kind of internship somewhere and in July an extra course of data-analysis at Villefranche-sur-mer.
O yeah, and that little choice that I have to make, Ecology or Oceanography, Leuven or Paris?
