So I've been horrible at updating. I have no excuse. None. I sit around all day. I go to the gym. I look for a job. I atrophy. Skin and bones.
The news is that I'm jobless, moneyless, and moving to Australia. I'm not returning to France to stay. I'll fly there next week to gather my things and settle my affairs. I'm sick of this love/hate relationship with the city of lights. Only time will tell if I crawl back.

Life. Dirt. Escargots.
Why blame France?
People blame France for a lot of things: stinky cheese, berets and Gerard Dapardieu. I blame France for my life as I know it.
Franceland Timeline:
1st time in Franceland (2004): Turned into a French major.
2nd time (2006): Ended my first and very long term relationship. Also decided to take Arabic, focus on African migration and become a ballroom dancer.
3rd time ( New Years 2007): Bad decisions all around.
4th time (Sept. 2007): Arrived in France as an English teaching assistant an Ile de France high school.
Since that time, I've lived with a squatter, got accepted into grad school and decided to move to Australia.
When my mother asks "why," I always blame France.
