…of news coming from me, lately, I know. It happens every year…I see it as a biorhythm, and right now I’m in the trough.
Nothing bombastic has really happened lately, but life has been treating me nevertheless wonderfully. I go to class, I go to the gym, and on the weekends I go up to Thurgau. Splitting my time between Italian- and German-speaking Switzerland, I consider myself more than lucky.
Most recently, I’ve been killing weekend-hours on René’s Playstation 3 playing Final Fantasy XIII. Now that’s something that I never thought I would do. A little background information: I was an FF freak in elementary school. I spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours hacking away at monsters and grinding my characters’ levels. I did all the side quests and got all the final weapons. I had to play the perfect game. Now, when FFX was released on the PS2, I was more or less resigned with the fact that I would never get to play the new installments. It was sad, but okay; it had its corner in my childhood.
So you can pretty much imagine what happened when I got my hands on XIII. Homework? Dinner? Sleep? “Ja, ja. In ten minutes…” I even think my sex drive went down. And the only solution–I must finish this game as soon as possible and retake my life in my hands!
Okay, less nerd talk: Next weekend is Easter and I’m going to speak some French! I’ll be visiting my friend Marie and spending the weekend in Lyon. We met during our exchange year in Norway (the first time), and have kept in contact ever since. Last year, I saw her twice–once in Colmar in December and once in Paris in February. We froze our asses off both times, and to this day France to me is just a very very very cold place. Maybe it’ll be warmer this time around…I hope so. In any case, I’m looking forward to seeing her again and learning more about France.
Now it’s time for bed: hope to post some pictures up very soon!
