What would you like to send/receive?: I can send books in french, write letters in french/english, small care-packages, and if you are a cooker who wanna exchange recipes, that would be terribly fabulous. As for what to receive, letter for sure, pictures, and I also enjoy little bits and pieces (nothing cut from any human body, mind you) from abroad.
Who would you like to send and receive mail from?: Anyone who feel they might bring me something. It's quite wide as a description, but I'm not picky. Also, I speak fluent french and english (second language) and have a very shaky german.

What would be in your dream letter or package?: a hand written letter, a picture taken from your window, some trinklet found at the market (earrings, necklace, random thing which use is still unknown, ...), some tea, some of your favorite music (or at least recommendations), a notebook, a book. Little things that makes life worthwhile.
Anything else you'd like to add?: I just had my last exam ever. It's just so good to say it. And if you are in Paris, I'm there until december, so feel free to drop a line.

And the billiard was the star of that evening pictures. 60 students that are just meeting in a paid by school seminar, before starting 2 semesters together. I love billiard. I suck at it. Love it.
Too much BigRed kill the cinnamon buds in the tongue. And leave one with massive allergy to the damn thing (which sucks a lot. I love cinnamon.)
I'm adding you, feel free to do to :)

I love billiards. I grew up around it. My big brother had a table in our garage when I was five, so it is one of those things, whenever I see a pool table, I have to play. It's an uncontrollable urge. :)
I am so excited to practise French with you! My French is seriously lacking, even after a semester of it. I think it's because I was dumb enough to take on French 1 and Japanese 1B at the same time.
And thank you! try to be as !!! possible. heh heh. I like enjoying life. To its fullest.

Yeah, maybe taking two new langages at the same time wasn't for the best. Especially two completely different alphabets. I'll be glad to pen down some words for you :)
've come to this conclusion recently. I don't regret it :D

Date: 2010-06-24 06:49 pm (UTC)Ah, well, it wasn't the alphabets that got me really. I'd already know the Japanese system of writing (Hiragana and Katakana) two years before taking French, so that wasn't it. It was just so much work. And I was also doing college applications for transfer at the same time! I had five classes altogether. I think that more than anything really was a bad idea. If I had only been taking French and Japanese, or those two and queer studies it would have been okay. But I just like to pile on the work for some reason. >_<
