I can't believe that its my 3rd week in France

I started my french class already. I have a great experience here as i've never gone abroad before. I have so many friends from all over the world. There's students from America, China and Korea. It's a bit "wow" to know that i' m the youngest in class. Almost all students are over 20 and even married (pfff!). Anyway, i'm so thankful that finally my professor accept me for studying in B2 preparation class (now i'm in B1 class). He didn't agree for the first time. He said i have a great score for my level, but not for jumping to next level. After i told him that i'm pursuing my target to be accepted in university of Paris this year for studying economic, and after he read my essay about politic and economic issues in my country, he said "you can start your class in B2 on next monday, j'espere que ca sera un plaisir pour toi", bien sure! Merci, Professeur!
My senior, Dutti, invite me to spend the night in her house with all my friends but thanks to my dad who called me to remind me for studying for my next B2 class, because it will be very difficult. So, after thinking again and again i take an instant decision that i will studying this night. He's right. I have to studying for the sake of Paris! There will be so many students who wants to study in Paris, precisely in the university that i want to study in. There must be a very thight competiotion, ladies and gentlemen.
There's another lesson that i've got as i'm here. Living economically. It, honestly, is really hard for me. I can't believe that i spent 880 Euro for my first 15 days in France. Gosh! I really have to organise my self more.
To get refreshed, tomorrow i'll get my self lost. I will take the bus from Hérouville Saint Clair and la la la until the terminal. I dont know where i'll be but i believe it would be fun!!! And i will write every detail of my journey.
Next project:
- Take the bus and getting lost in Caen. (Awesome!)

Its Snowy Today!

Actually my waker's ringing at 8 o'clock, and also my cellphones. But i'm too lazy to wake up. Its cold today, -1 celcius. So, i'm back to sleep again 'til 11 o'clock. I wake up again and i decide to roll up my draperies and open up the window lazely. How surprised i am that its snowy outside. Franchement, its my first time seeing snow lol. Too bad i'm not watching it down. Anyway, i love the view from my window, its calming. Suddenly this question's just pop up in  my mind "where does these snows come from?". I've been googling and some site said that The water vapor in the air begins to crystallines into its solid form which is ice and this makes what we call snow. Hmmm, makes sense.
Then, i wake up and take a bath. Some of my friends are not taking a bath everyday on winter but i dont know whether there's some physchological abnormalities in me but i cant going out without taking a bath. I always get a great inspirations when i took a bath by the way. After, i'm going out to centre ville (downtown) de Caen (i live in a small city called Caen in France) with my new friend from Korea, Min Jeong, to buy a bag. I didnt bring any bag from my home except my luggage, my big backpack and my small bag which can only be filled in by my passport, my cellphones and my wallet. What will i use for going to school??! Then i found a cool Roxy backpack, i bought it. After, we have a dinner in vietnamesse restaurant. This woman, she takes care of everything, welcoming the customers, cook, was the dishes, everything. She's from Vietnam and living in Caen for 9 years. Eventhough its vietnamesse restaurant, she makes a chinesse noodle. Its really spicy. I eat Dandan au beuf today (Dandan with beef).
After seeing another cool backpack with cheaper price in another shopes, i decide to change it. Thats what i like from shops in France. You can change what you bought within 7 days. And i change it with a fancy handbag multifunction, hehehe. Its cool ,though. Its cheaper. So i save 7 Euro in that shop.
Then i'm going to Carrefour to buy some foods for Sunday. Nah, thats what i dont really like from France. All shops are closed on Sunday. Pfff! So i have to cook by my self. Anyway, talking about cook, i try my dad's recipes yesterday but the result's not what i was expecting. 180 degrees different. Just because i was missing 1 cooking item which only available in Indonesia, not in France.
Well, still learning how to survive in France. All cooler things still await :)

THE BIG STEP OF MY LIFE ( from Jakarta to Paris)

I feel so grateful having a democratic dad. He allowed me to go overseas for studying and always support me for every activity that i wanna involve in as long as its in the right way. I really feel lucky remember how hard it is for  my friends who's strictly forbidden going out from their country. Well, there's plus and minus anyhow. I'll never forget January 16th 2010. It was my big day. I've never been out from my country before, even for a holiday (sad!). And that day, i feel like i' m gonna be free and moving forward. Eventhough i've been living without my parents since i' m 9th years old, but its different. Its about living completely alone and extremely independent (and extremely far!). Well, not extremely independent, i'm exagerate, my dad still gives me money for living anyway, but its just awesome.

As i arrive, i just think that i have to be stronger and thougher than before. Indonesia, where's religion is taking a big part of the country and the gouvernement, is a completely different country with France, where's everything is set to be free, Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité. Many people are Atheist in France, although they do celebrate chirstmas every year. They dont believe in God and they consider religion as an old-fashioned thing. Well, these differences makes me think over and over again about my self and my own life. Since i was born, i do what i have to do because someone's told me that i have to do so. And now, i have to find out by my self all that i gotta do. Why, why and why?!

By the way, there's something that makes me a little bit confuse. There's this guy, he's a moeslem and really strict about what he eat. Pork, no pork, vin, champagne, cognac, etc. Which is haram and which is halal. BUT, he's having sex, which is extremely forbidden in Islam, he's drunk, which is completely forbidden in Islam, and he hit the club so often, which is bad in Islam. I don't understand. Well, thats his life anyway. But its just, bizzare.

There's just so many things that i have to adapt and i'm trying to integrate with my new environment. But one thing that i'm impressed by the frenchs, they do appreciate the people who dont drink, or smoke, and stick to their principe and religion. 10 from 10 for them.
Anyway, i have a great room here in my dormitory university. With a nice neighborhood. And got some nice friends from Romania, Korea, Malaysia, America, etc. This is a really priceless experience of my life.
