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*

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*
