About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn another language for now I suppose

ABOUT ME

I am English and my boyfriend is French, we both speak English and French. (Though my French is not exactly perfect ;)) I like drawing and painting and stuff like that, tasting different French cheeses, the internet, going to bars and hiking (though motivating myself for the latter is more difficult). I am half way through my biology degree, have to go back and finish it in September, I'm currently taking a year out here after doing a year of study here.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know, I think it's important to be kind to people and have patience with people who want to do things diffently from, though how good I am at that (especially the latter) I'm not sure..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pascal, my boyfriend, did some volunteer thing teaching some children in S. Africa some stuff about computers. Oh yeah! And we went on a completely spontaneous road trip to Morocco from Nice, it was long, but it was interesting.

I'd love to learn Spanish... and I suppose you can practise English on me and French on my boyfriend!
