I'm being haunted by SPN today. First at work, when I received a mail telling me I'd been dropped off the J2test list (which was an error, as it happens - then again, why would I be 'work!defriended' by a list called J2? This would be so wrong). Then in a message from my dissertation (or is that thesis, I never know which one to use when you're doing an MA. In France we have the mémoire for an MA and the thèse for a doctorate, so I'm confused) advisor giving me an appointment for January in the "SPN office". I'm taking this as a sign that said appointment will go well :-) Also, I gave her the first draft of my bibliography and she liked it, which made me very happy \o/ I'd have hated getting it wrong and having to do it all over again!

Another good news is that I have my tree! It's bare at the moment but I'll decorate it (and the flat) either tonight or tomorrow night. Can't wait *bounces* Once the flat is all prettied up and Christmas ready, I'll start going through my Christmas films - another part (though recent) of my Christmassy traditions. I'll start with either Christmas Cottage (which I genuinely enjoy, despite its cheesiness - or 'because' of its cheesiness'? Hm, I'm not sure) or Love Actually.

And speaking of Christmas and winter and all, the weather forecast decided to make me happy and announced a cold wave starting this weekend. Finally! And! They're even talking about maybe!snow in Ile-de-France next week omg! We can haz snow near Paris too! \o/ *fingers crossed*

I'm still not sure what the difference between a dissertation and a thesis is...lol All I know, it's a big important paper of some sort that I want nothing to do with!

Yay Christmas tree and decorations! I ought to take a photo of our decorations, juste pour toi mon amour!

Lol Happy to see I'm not the only one being confused :-) I'll admit it's a bit intimidating. Hopefully it won't make me freeze for too long and I'll manage to at least start the damn thing! ;-)

I ought to take a photo of our decorations, juste pour toi mon amour!

Ohhh, please do! Et j'en ferai autant ; j'ai décoré l'appart' hier soir, ça tombe bien \o/

Dis moi, je ne suis plus sure d'avoir ta nouvelle adresse, tu pourrais me l'envoyer par mail, stp ? Je vais essayer d'écrire mes cartes de voeux la semaine prochaine. Je pense qu'elles arriveront toutes après les fêtes mais bon, au moins elles seront envoyées. Enfin je vais essayer lol

SPN haunting is good haunting! And let's pray for snow!

It's the best haunting there is, I most certainly agree. And, yes, let's!

LOL! There be signs cropping up everywhere nowadays! J2 though now that's priceless!! *giggles*

Signs are always good (well. When they're good signs, obviously lol) but a J2 sign is just the best :-)

In the U.S., you write a thesis for an MA. You write a dissertation for a Ph.D. Dissertations often are the basis of a first published work.

Will keep my fingers crossed about the snow and suitably-Christmasy weather. :-)

And THANK YOU for my snowflake cookie!

Thanks! So I'm writing a thesis... it has a nice ring to it :-)

My département is under an orange alert regarding snow for tonight, so I'm hoping I'll wake up tomorrow morning to pretty whiteness all around *fingers crossed*

And you're very welcome *kisses*
