it's been two years now..
God, time do pass by quickly. In June I have been in Paris for two years and including the one semester at the swedish school makes it almost two and a half years, except for holidays in Sweden of course.
I am proud that I have started Sorbonne despite my ADHD that gives me shit and that I'm making an effort to better my french. I get the same question every time I mention how long I've lived in Paris. "WOW, you must speak really good french!!"
But people: You need to practise your french in order better it. It's true that I have had a french speaking boyfriend for a year but that doesn't mean I'm fluent. I know a guy (sorry for telling everyone, my friend) who has lived in Paris for more than five years and I speak better french than he does! All I want to say is that: Living in Paris doesn't alone make french happen!
I found out today that I am clueless when it comes to french. I guess I didn't realise how bad my accent was. I had phonetiques and apparently I have trouble with "ch" "j" "g" sounds. NO ONE has ever told me this, why haven't you guys told me this? I have already created my own accent, I have even been told that I have the parisian accent, even by teachers! I hope it's not too late to change it, if not you don't have anyone to blame but yourself for not being harder on me.
I have started a new book, that has been lying around for about three years, L'Adversaire by Emmanuel Carrère. It's a bit darker than my Marian Keyes books that I read before, but I like it. I have wanted to read it for such a long time but I have never gotten around. It's about a man who has lived a double life for several years pretending to be a doctor, and when his family found out about his lies he killed his parents, his wife and their two children in cold blod. well... you think you know a guy...
I'm still ill, my head is killing me and my body hurts even more than yesterday. But it's all good. It means that I will not party this weekend and that means no partying until Carro gets here since I'm going to Sweden next friday and there will be no Paris partying! I might go see a movie or something, that would be nice and relaxing! :)
Maybe I should stop talking for good, that way you wouln't
notice my bad accent! :P
Bisous strangers
