In Former Times I bought some groceries for Easter Sunday. Namely a Easter Bunny in dark chocolate with a little bell around its neck, a milk chocolate chicken with eggs that almost melts since this afternoon, a packet of hazelnut coffee and soft caramels. These caramels are unique and difficult to find, even on the internet. We only can find them in Northern France. I had to do no less than 4 supermarkets to buy them. My mother told me that my grandmother loved them so much. Their wrappings are easily identifiable because they remain unchanged for decades.

The things we normally do I go to the grocery shopping twice a week, on Monday and Friday. I usually go up until the supermarket on foot and take the bus on the way back. My shopping trolley/cart is often heavy to the point that my wheel breaks off. Having a car should be surely better, but that's a luxury that I can't allow myself.

An old friend As far as I remember, Laura has always been a spiritual person. It would be difficult to describe what I want to say by spiritual because it is something that I feel on a very personal level. A sensation impossible to perceive. She was passionnated by the Krishnamurti's writings, when I was swearing only by Madame Blavatsky's doctrine. Which was really surprising, foreasmuch as it remains a subject of discussion particularly unique, the sort of leisure activity that no one can discuss publicly at risk of look like an eccentric. I never heard her disparage anyone. It was certainly the most principal reason for which she was so much esteemed. The second reason was that she remained always calm under any circumstances. Most times, we usually went to the bookshop in the center of the city rather than to go to the cafeteria. During one hour or less, we could talk about Hermetic sciences, Zoroastrism, Kabbalah, Astrology, and my keeness to symbology. I think we had a good time, attracted by a reason only known by the two of us. As the saying goes: great minds think alike.

First departure. The first acquaintance I have met at the University decided to drop out of the Licence. It was difficult for her to handle the required level. The lack of self-confidence must probably be at the origin of the situation. In her previous school, all her former teachers were convicted she won't complete her degree but her English teacher. She finally passed her exams, thanks to the support of his English teacher who tried to bring the best out of her, that's why she decided to continue to study this subject. However, She was rarely present in courses and quickly lost motivation because it was too hard. She was the first person with whom I socialized the first day. A pleasant, and smiling person with who it's hard no to get on. That's why I felt a little bad for her. She decided to move from University to a professional College. It's difficult to find an equivalent in English because of the socio-cultural meanings. We should have learnt a long list of words between the several differences that can exist between the American English and the British English but it still confuses me and I partially forgot them.

First assessments. The first assessments have started at the University. In a space of one week only, I have got four exams. The rhythm was particularly intense, and it was complicated to afford them with all the courses in addition. I was unpleasantly surprised by the student's notes around me. For the Civilization assesment, the overall average was only 7 for a group of more 35 people. My classmates were shameful to tell me their notes, comprised between 1/20 and 4/20, and even if I got 16/20, the pleasure was short-lived because I knew it was only because I've learnt by heart. I know for a fact, that I could not reproduce such a high performance in the subjects studied. All the courses are taught in English, but they do not teach us how to speak in this language, neither how to improve our skills in writting. I still wonder how I'll get by. The notes return in literary is planned on this thursday. I'm affraid.

First note I am going to study English as an undergraduate student from the start of the school year 2016. More specifically, my aim is to get an in-depth knowledge of the Anglophone world throughout language, arts and literature. It sounds curious to claim I'll learn a foreign language, because, this branch teaches you the Anglophone people's History but not their language strictly speaking contrary to second one focused on translations and specifities of the economic world. I mean I should assimilate and absorb an entire culture in addition to understand lessons taught in a language different from mine... and to tell the truth I am quite afraid to fail at the first hurdle. I've took the decision to work hard each day a little more in order to carve the English grammar into my thoughts.
