habiter en seul/living alone

in the very near future, i will find myself living alone.  almost.  it is time.  i wanted this for awhile.  i just didn't know it would happen like this.  ce marche.  one very important thing i have to do is figure out what i'll be eating for dinner and have that planned a week in advance.  must get to figuring out quick, healthy meals.  must think about versatile ingredients.  it was so much easier in france with picard...  perhaps i could try to recreate that magic here with trader joe's.

awesome!

in the u.s. we have a tv drama called the secret life of the american teenager.  browsing the canal + france website under tv show i find, la vie secrete des jeunes.  the same idea but with real french kids from paris.  it's a reality tv show. though this might be more of an undercover camera operation...it's also interesting that it's categorized under "humor".  there's only four minutes of each episode but that's good enough for me.

defining the future.

my plans for the future are becoming more defined.  career-wise, i mean.  i'm glad to say, my career choice will allow me to find work abroad if i want to.  these organizations are so big, it will be better for me to work for an international company than one state-side.  the salary is better.  i just have to figure out how to squeeze in more french language studies as french is the second language in this sector.

i don't know if i will or if i have to yet but i also did a little research on graduate programs for public administration.  some schools are $20,000 a year, the better programs are about $50,000.  i don't like any of those numbers.

having received my first degree in studio art, this tickles me a little bit.  it is such a long road to where i am now.  sigh.
