It's STILL Winter (and I like it!)

Greetings Ladies and Gents,

The last few days have been very strange. Very strange indeed.
Reims' temperature plunged to a chilling -8C, and we've had OVER 4 cm of SNOW!
What the hell? Actually, in all honesty, I don't mind this time. Here's why:
- The Olympics are starting
- I got to see frustrated city workers trying to dispose of snow with leafblowers. I almost died laughing on my way to class the other day.
- I want to go skaaaating.

But enough about the weather.

Today, I was commended for my efforts in taking down Wal-Mart in Brazil. My group will be compiling our report in the next week in order to hand it in and potentially follow it up with a visit to some key players in the industry... :D

Right after my group presentation, I went out into the newly snowed-on parking lot on my way home when I saw a sign that said "Hockey" with a sign pointing towards two sticks, a ball, and 2 nets. I thought mirages only happened in the desert. Turns out it was real. I asked the person running the event how I could sign up. She said "just take a stick and play". She then invited one of the guys, a hockey player from Bretagne, to play against me (or perhaps to learn how it's done). Easily made my week. Easily.

After this, I came home, ate lunch, and now I have 10 days during which I will be writing a report, relaxing, and even heading to Geneva (the hotel is booked now). I have also confirmed a weekend in Voisins right before I go off to Turkey in March. Oh and I found out I have another week off at the beginning of March, which has no reason to be, so this actually bothers me in that I have to plan another trip somewhere. *sigh*

Anyway, I hope you all have a pleasant end to your week. See you soon!
