AWESOME NEWS

AWESOME NEWS !! I’ve successfully completed my trial period at work so now I have officially a contract for an unlimited period !! I'm so relieved!! I started working on November 24th, and normally (in France) a trial period lasts at least 3 months, but my manager validated mine 2 weeks earlier. She told me that she was very satisfied with my work, that I'm very professional, I have a good team spirit, I’m always on time, I always smile...I was so happy about her feedback, especially because I suffer from a lack of self-confidence (which inevitably increases my level of stress). And she did tell me that I should be more self-confident because I’m competent. I was quite surprised because usually people say "ok you're great (blablabla) BUT...”, but this time there was no BUT, so now I feel pretty good and I m gonna try to keep doing that way to not get any "BUT" haha ;)
One more time, thank you to all the people who’ve believed in me and have supported me!!! It means a lot to me!

Except that, hmm, nothing much to tell… I caught a cold for the second time in 2 months… sore throat, fever… That’s so weird because usually I’m NEVER sick ^^. But actually it’s pretty cold in my office, and I think you all know that I’m (too) sensitive to the cold. But this winter is pretty harsh so everybody is sick haha.

About entertainment, I attended a great play last Sunday, called La Maison du Lac (Translation: The lake house). It was pretty funny; I really had a good time! (I love going to theater)

I also went to the movies, but only twice since the last time I posted:
- Yes Man: I liked it, I laughed a lot, I don’t laugh at all Jim Carey’s movies, but this one was really funny!
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: I lovedddd it! Unfortunately I didn’t read the book, but the storyline is really original. Benjamin Button’s character is very moving, and you’re really getting attached to him while you watch the movie. And the love between Benjamin (who doesn’t stop getting younger) and his love of his life (who of course is getting older) is really well-described and beautiful!
And I hope I’ll have the opportunity to see these other movies: LOL (French movie), He's Just Not That Into You (yes I love girly movies haha), Bride Wars, Espion(s)(French movie), Slumdog Millionaire, Le Code a Change (French Movie)

Two weeks ago, I was invited by my lovely friend Jaouhara to the concert of Travis. Travis are a Scottish alternative rock band from Glasgow, they have already released six studio albums and they have twice been awarded British album of the year at the annual BRIT Awards. I didn’t know any of their songs before attending their concert, but I really had a blast! I love their style and their music so now I have to buy their albums hehe. Thank you Jaou for the invitation! (Only disadvantage : There was no elevator... so I had to climb like 40 big steps.. but thank you girls for your help!)

Before ending this post, I really want to congratulate Lili who is going to work at Disneyland Paris for a long time (and I know it’s her dream), so congrats Lili !!! You deserve it!
