Let's go striking!

that's crazy how I'vde been busy these last few weeks... Exams, architectural presentation, no sleeping, even sometimes no lunch/breakfast/diner, ...
hard times for me, I guess =)

Anyway.

You know how French are willing to complain, to get angry about stupid things, to say that they're not happy about that or that.
that's how we are.
But it's getting more and more annoying.
Why?
Because of the strikes. I mean if people have something to say then fine, fair enough.
But please don't strike for nothing.
In France when you're not happy, you're feeling the beginning of a threaten on your business or your job, or only just the comfort in your job may be eventually threatened, then you get on strike.
Simple and clear.
But how stupid it is...
Because now, French are striking for everything and nothing. Especially the train conductors, they keep striking, striking and striking, for basically nothing.
They just don't want to work one day, it's getting cold outside, days are shorter and shorter, the weather is bad, damned, we need to strike.
They always find a "good" reason to strike. And bother all the french workers, who can't do anything to help them, who just want to go to work, and go home as quick as possible. In Paris, you better use the public transports than your car, because there are no place to park your car, and the traffic jams are absolutly crazy at the rush hour... (and not only the rush hour).
But when Train's conductors are striking, you wast sooo much time in the public transport...
They are the most evident example, but not the only one.
Usually, teachers are also striking twice a year : in December, and in April.
The train's conductor, it's more 4 times a year, or even 5 times, depends on their mood of the moment : September (when the class is beginning, holidays are over), December (for Christmas), February/march (it's cold and we're sick a nd tired of the winter), and June (Weather is nice, let's go to the parc instead of working).
I'm ironic and sarcastic but really that's how it works. And you english people are laughing a lot about Frenchies. Well, fair enough, those strikes are silly and useless. Moreover, they're loosing their meaning...
Striking is a right in the french constitution. We achieved it after the revolution in 1789 and are very proud of it.
But it's also easy to use for nothing just because you're not happy about your life and find a silly reason to say that you're striking.

This right should be used cautiously, not every time you're not happy about the changes which are about to be done...

But we're well french and we can't just stay calm as you my dear english friends. That would be inappropriate for french rude population =)

I'm a winner!

studying in France

OMG.

Studies in France are SO annoying. Lots of classes, lots of homeworks. I wish I was in Australia!
At least, you can choose your classes, and you are interested in what you do.
Less classes, more interesting, and same amount of homeworks.

Even if the architecture is the same : you don't sleep the night before you have to do your presentation...
Which means one night a week.

Tonight is this night, and I'm sick and tired of my stupid appartements, flats, bluidings...

My brain is getting INSANE.

Thing is : architecture studies are the same all around the world.
We should gather around architecture. No war, only help eachother because we all are in the same sh*t.

Architecture = peace in the world.
The new Green Peace.

...

OMG, I'm really getting insane.

Btw, do you know those universities? Are they good? (they're the ones I can go to study next year...)

Nothing in Australia, unfortunatly... I'll see if I can create an exchange with the melbourne uni...

Time for change

Yes, Americans!
Yes, you can!

Yes Obama in the new president of the USA...

A wind of change is coming =)


French people wasn't really feeling that american people were their friends, bu I think now most of us ar seeing USA differently... Like most of the european population.

We watched this election as if we were americans, that was absolutly crazy. We all were hoping that Obama would we elected, that Mc Cain would fail...
For us, Mc Cain meant that the american foreign politic would be the same than the Georges Bush's one. For us, it means war in Irak, invasion of Afghanistan, propaganda for fear of terrorism (and against Russia in the probleme between Russia and Georgia), and make the american population that all the other peopulation in the world are stupid (that's a summerise of the idea).

I think I'll always remember that day. In the morning of the 7th (for us), we all were checking who won this election. I watched BBC World and CNN, somme others checked on the internet...

This event has been historical, as the September 11th. I'll remember it as easily as the 11th, but in a positive way.

We don't support Obama because he's black, but because he's got a new brand point of view on the USA, and on the world.
The fact that he's black is just another positiv thing about Obama.
And the fact that he was elected is showing that american population is changing.

Some people think that that won't change anything. I guess there will always be some pessimists in this world, especially in France ...

Now, we can hope.

Yes, you did it.
