Suggestions are welcome !

As you can see by the lack of blog posts these past few months, I have been crazy busy. I work Mondays-Fridays.  Then the weekend is dedicated to spending time with my husband and cleaning the mess in our house that was created during the week.

But no need to fret, I am going to publish when I can. And if you are want to hear about something specific do not hesitate to say something !

Fun Fact!

66 % of French people change their socks everyday according to the directmatin.

My question did people who wore sandals all during the summer answer this survey? or are there this many non-sanitory people?

What about you?

Diploma Exam

Last week, I defended my thesis and my "Rondo à la Flûte" festival from May in front of a very difficult jury and need I remind you it was all en français. Preparing for the presentation that needed to be convincing and studying for an article that was to be drawn out of a hat was hard toaccomplish especially when French isn't my first language.


The dossier turned out to be 90 pages in French, all wrote by me but corrected by a nice friend. The presentation in front of the jury went great, except they asked questions about French copyright law. I tried to hold back saying, "I don't know", and say something like "it seems to me that ..." but the answer "je ne sais pas" just kept coming out. I thought for sure they were going to tell me that I failed.

But I passed! I got a 10/20 - don't freak out that doesn't mean a 50%. It means average, there were quite a number of other people in my class who got around the same grade and also there were students who didn't pass about 30% out of the 20 or so that took the exam.

I am really proud of myself and cannot wait to tell anyone that I have a Masters in French.

Hope that you check out my new posts about my exciting projects to come!
