Christmas travels

Good morning everyone! This is finally the end... The end of my blog, the end of the session, the end of the stress before exams, the end of many things... BUT! It is also the beginning of holidays!

For Christmas, a lot of people want to go under the sun, far away from their families. I like to travel, but I don't really understand these people. For me, Christmas is all this magic around, with the snow, the decorations, the turkey, the Christmas tree and sweaters with deers on it! I can't understand why some people like to quit their families and to spend Christmas on the beach. I'm not judging it, because I never did it. Maybe it's very nice and I just don't know, but I still think that for Christmas, we need snow and family! What is perfect is to rent a ski chalet with all the family, and after, to go to the beach in Mexico or somewhere else in January.

For Christmas, I'm gonna stay here, in Rimouski, because I'll work for the Boxing Day... I think I'm still gonna have fun. On December 24th, I'll by with my boyfriend's family at his home. On December 25th, everything depends on the temperature. If it's nice, I'll go to Degelis with my father's family that I don't see really often. On December 26th, I'm gonna have the worst day of work of the year because of the Boxing Day and all those crazy people who want discounts!!! The days after, I'm gonna ski every day! On December 29th and 30th, I'll go to Charlevoix with my boyfriend's family at a ski chalet. We'll probably stay there for the New Year. What is really weird with my mother's family is that our Christmas party is on January 7th hahaha!! After, I'm going to Mexico or somewhere else where there's sun with my friend Camille. I think my Christmas holidays will be very nice and I can't wait for it!!!

What is your opinion about Christmas travels? I wanna know what you'll do for Christmas!

We won't see each other until the end of January so Merry Christmas to all of you, have a great time with your family! :)

The Social Network

Good morning everyone!


I woke up this morning and... THERE WAS SNOW OUTSIDE!! I will not talk about travels today because the snow doesn't make me wanna go anywhere!! For me, the first REAL SNOW is very important. It makes me so happy! Every year, the first snow represents the end of de semester at school, Christmas and the skiing season wich is almost ready to begin! Haha sorry I just can't stop smiling :)! Are you happy like me about this? If I wanna know, I probably just have to go on Facebook because EVERYBODY always writes about snow on Facebook! The third first posts about it make me smile but... after four I'm like "Ok I know there's snow outside!" Let's talk about Facebook a little bit...


Last week, I watched the movie The Social Network. In fact, I watched it like ten times. Did you watch it? It's the real story of Mark Zuckerberg, the man who created Facebook with three of his friends. First, Facebook was called The Facebook. Cameron et Tyler Winklevoss, two Harvard's students, attacked Zuckerberg on justice saying that he stole their idea about a social network. Their idea was called HarvardConnection and they asked Zuckerberg to help them with it. Finally, he did it by himself with his friends and Sean Parker, the co-founder of Napster. And you know the end of the story...


In my opinion, I think Facebook became too big. I really like this site and I think it's a good way to see what you friends are doing and to see their pictures of the weekend! In the other hand, some people use it too much. They can't stop always go on Facebook and write ALL what's happening in their life. I mean... I don't wanna know that you're going to put on your make up and to go at work. I also don't wanna know that you had a bad day. If you want attention, call your friends or go talk to your mom. I'm not saying that all what people write on Facebook is useless, but sometimes it's just too much. The worst is probably when people "check-in" everywhere they go. I don't really care that you're at your exam (where you're not supposed to play with your cellphone?) and 30 minutes after you're at the hospital because your arm hurts a little bit.


What I'm trying to say is that even if I like to go on Facebook and to do what everybody does, sometimes I see some posts of people and I think "They are really addicted to Facebook..." I'm happy to go to Facebook only few times a week!


What about you? Do you have Facebook? Are you addicted to it?
Feel free to answer, I'm not going to judge you. Anyway, I know you're not like people I described, dear classmates!


Have a good day and please go play with the snow for me, I unfortunately don't have time today...

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF MY HAPPINESS THIS MORNING!! :)
