désolé mec

enfin être en P2 c'est déjà un fantasme de réalisé !

moi je passe en ... L1 ! J'étais au rattrapages des deux semestres, le premier rattrapage je pensais avoir bien réussi j'ai eu 6,33/20 et le deuxième c'était le lendemain de la fête de la musique, hop 3,5/20... Heuresement j'ai validé beaucoup de matières sur l'année donc l'année prochaine je repartirai mieux. Puis le taux d'echec sur l'année est d'environ 75%, je m'en sors pas trop mal...

quoi de prévu pour l'été ?

[sunshkine]

Bonjour tout le monde! Juste une petite question:

I'm going to France for 4 months, and I'm not sure what to do in terms of cell phones. I currently have my iphone and will probably get it unlocked. Can I then just go to an "Orange" shop when I arrive and buy a new SIM card and get "Pay as you go"? Any better ways?

Merci beaucoup, j'apprecie beaucoup votre aide!

[freecat]

for 4 months i'd get a pay as you go sim card, if you can get your iphone to get unlocked. compare the pay as you go offers when you arrive, not sure orange is the best one.

je n'ai pas parlé français depius l'été a commencé.

mon dieu, je suis désappointé dans moi.

(that right there was quite difficult to write.. & i don't think it's even correct. fml.)

[freecat]

ouch. lemme correct this for you. "je n'ai pas parlé français depuis que l'été a commencé. mon dieu (don't actually say that in france) je me déçois."

[FunkyFrenchy]

T'es sérieux pour le MBA ? En général pour les bon MBA il faut un bon diplôme type ingé / Commerce et entre 2 et 5 ans d'expérience de travail

Les MBA moins sélectifs ne valent pas leur prix.

[FunkyFrenchy]

ouai pour le MBA, médecine ca marche trés bien...

ya 5/6 ans d'internat aprés donc c'est ok ya de l'expérience.

et je connais un médecin qui a fait l'INSEAD donc c'est possible.

[FunkyFrenchy]

moi je veux l'insead où l'ivy league.

mais j'ai tout mon temps pour les préparer.

Math c'est simple mais verbal plus chaud.

[FunkyFrenchy]

yo yo yo little bump. let's bump the thread up.

[FunkyFrenchy]

yo La France,

The thread was going pretty wella couple of months back,

let's try to keep it that way.

[nyc_bound]

Qui est de Nantes? Je vais là en Avril et c'est mon premier fois. C'est bien? Ou sont les magasins et restaurants bien?

[readytoignite]

what's up with blvd voltaire - is it the second hand clothes clearing house for the city? i ran a batch of ebay auctions and two winners were within 40 street numbers of each other there, incl one guy with three items.

[FunkyFrenchy]

boulevard voltaire is in the 11 arrondissement.

it's a quite young neighborhood.

I lived just of of Blvd. Voltaire when I was in Paris last winter/spring. I wouldn't say that it's the clearing house for clothes for the city, but it did have a good variety of shops, my favorite being the used camera stores.

[alexryb]

downloading parts 1+2 right now. cassel is the man

[freecat]

yeah he's very impressive in those movies. they need to bring back those kind of guys in france.

[alexryb]

[FunkyFrenchy]

yup,

cassel has always been the man...

being shot in paris driving a bmw.

stylish.

to the end.

[FunkyFrenchy]

so.

meeting in paris?

[alexryb]

made the decision yesterday that i'll study abroad next fall in paris (for a year). anyone have suggests of where to look for apartments online? craigslist has some stuff, but i'm nervous about going through that.

definitely should have a paris meet-up when i'm over there!

also, paris is my first choice but i'd really like to keep an open mind. anyone have any suggestions? lyon is an obvious option. i also need to look to see exactly what my school offers

[Dropt]

Lyon, rennes or toulouse are good.

Don't go to paris for studying, it's too expensive and parisians are morons.

There's a lot of better middle towns to study in.

[freecat]

i've lived and studied in the two formers. toulouse is bigger (= more students), has a nice southern vibe and the weather is fine most of the year. students are know for partying hard in both cities anyway and i can only second this.

went to lyon a few times and didn't enjoy it much even for good times, but it might just be me.

paris is great, but very expensive and a tad too big.

[alexryb]

merci, mes amis!

i'm meeting with my advisor on thursday to discuss my options. i'll come back to this thread when i know where i'm going for sure. right now i'm learning towards somewhere that isn't paris simply because i know i'll have friends studying there so visiting won't be an issue at all.

also, re-watching le cercle rouge tonite.

[Dropt]

But yea, if you're passing by, say hi.

[FunkyFrenchy]

in lyon, things are trying to move... shops starting to open etc...

but it's just the beginning.

Toulouse is way cooler and the hossegor waves are not that far.

But in lyon you are at exact distance from milan and paris. (2h by train)

the mountains are so close to.

[sungrak]

dear french guys,

anyone wanna grab a drink this coming week? im visiting paris for the first time and i wanted to know if any of you guys are down to hang out.
