i was too tired to work so i've been painting...

that's a box for my friend anais, i'm not a huge fan of orange and purple, but i think she is. (hope so...)


i put some felt in it so it's soft and cute...

the girl has a huge head, but anyway...
if you like it there is another one on praisegod 's blog. if not:

ps: i know my pictures sucks i hope the painting sucks less...

yesterday we took the pupils to a concentration camp near strasbourg, the struthof, we had a eleven hours bus trip and spent 3hours on the site!!! the pupils were strangely nice, especially since it was snowing and that's their first snow this year, they were pretty discreet with snow balls... in the bus, we had a few vomit (which cheered up everyone.... "what the hell is this bitch doing!!! miss! this asshole is vomitting on herself!! yerk! it stinks!" and diferent lovely stuff...
we also got lost on a montain road with no way to turn back, broken car on the side and lots of snow, and they freaked out, so i tryed to confort them: "it's high, isn't it? look! it IS high! and the snow! it's slippy, and the driver looks young enough to be a trainnee.... what? you're afraid of heights? oh sorry, you must feel really bad right now, because it is SUPER high!!!" and we got stuck in a village, we had to knock at villagers doors to move their cars...

and when we were there, they kept yelling and screaming because it was a huge icering, so they had so much fun on a place where 20000people died...
they also found the prisoners suits fashionable because it's stripped...

but it was cool and i had a very nice day!


edit: this is the bin day! yesterday when i asked the pupils if they had anything to throw in the bin they said "yeah, the teachers!"
and today i saw a mom in the street saying to her two years old daughter "come here or i throw you in the bin". must be something in the air...

i had a nice weekend!
i spent saturday evening with a friend from berlin and my friends from the tattoo shop who have just learnt they're having a baby so it was really pleasant to find some stupid names for the baby and think about all the awful stuff we could do in a few years when we would babysit... like teaching the wrong words for things telling him bad language, having him (or her???) watching horror movies and eating candies at night... i'm really exited!

on sunday it was warm so we went in the woods with my ten years old cousin, he took his plastic machine gun to protect me from the villains (he's watched robin hood a lot lately...) and we walked in the river with rubber boots but at the end he was so wet he finished in underwear at the back of the car, then i met some old friends who were playing golf in a field:

and we also walked in the water, pretending to be rambo:

bf couldn't because he had a hole in his boots, so he played on the trunks:

the most courageous walked, the others...

we saw daffodils and violets (and a lot of plastic bags ) :


at the end i was totally exhausted ans cold, so i went home and had some cider with cheese sandwich, yummy!

and now a weird word about my longtime relationship you should not read if you don't care about girl's feelings:

-over-

tonight when i came home i felt like painting, so here is what happened to my 7X7cm woodbox:


it is inspired by a beer made where i live, the arduinna... (probably also by saint patrick's day... )
i started feeling artistic during the train trip, the colors outside were amazing because it was almost dusk and it had rainned, so the landscape was strong green and grey-blue... i realize i sometimes love the place where i'm forced to live in because it can remind me of ireland.
i made a few picture through the train window, they're not great but you can see the colors:


and near the train station:




and to all of you:

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'DAY!!!

breakfast time iswhen i do stupid tests on the net. so i know what i would be if iwas a shoe, an animal, a colour, a pizza topping.... it's very interesting, anyway this morning i tested my iq and this iswhat i got:

Profound Mental Retardation

i'm pretty happy with that though...

eh eh! new earring!

hello from munchkin and i!


yesterday was a bad day:
i fought with a pupil, had to send one to the headmaster, punished a few, they were awful. then in the train guys were fighting next to me.... too much violence!
i felt miserable, later it took me a few beers to stop jumping with fright everytime someone came behind me,
in short, i was stressed.

so i started the "save eliott's nerves" operation.
i bought lots of baby stuf for my friend's daughter mathilde and came to see her, she's really sweet and slept all the time, look how tiny she is! she was born on monday:

then i watched a soap on the TV and insulted every characters with really mean and perv words while eating some cakes and cold cocoa milk.
then i went out with bf and bought some comics and chinese food.
then i went out with praisegod to drink some beers and have fun.
today i went to the movies to see "be kind, rewind" which is really nice, then i went to the supermarket to buy some stuff to make the perfect sandwich: ham, cheddar, cucumber, mayonnaise, unfortunatly, the camera was too slow to picture it and this is all that was left a few seconds after:

tonight is DVD,beer, and french fries, and if tomorrow 's gonna be a busy boring day, saturday is "women'sday", so i'll force my bf to get me pancakes and later sushis and i'll force him to go shopping!!!

the doctors are optimistic with me, i should be ok....

this is a toy crocodile a friend brought be from algeria, if you press it it makes noise and hit you with his tongue... i think it's so cool!



my lizard is still pretty sick but i can't see no change...

that's all for today!

wow i just erased my post...
so here we go again:
first of all a pic to pretend i'm chic even though i live in the worst town ever, explainations coming:

(this pearl makes me look like a posh bourgeoise...)
so, today a pupil had a tummyache so they called his dad who said when he arrived "fuck you you fag, i'm gonna kick you in the belly, you'll see if it aches, i can't believe i miss work for this sissy!!!"
then i was told one of my 16 years old pupil had runaway to live with her 31 years old boyfriend and was trying hard to get pregnant so the police wouldn't bring her home...


one good news is: a friend of me had a baby last night, her name is mathilde and i'll see her wednesday so i'll send pics.
the bad news is: my lizard is freaking sick and will probably die in a few days, even though we are trying hard (too hard i guess, feeding her with a seringue looks like torture... ) to keep her alive. she apparently has a parasite in her belly...

anyway, last week i made pancakes with my pupils and that was cool, i put maple syrup on my jeans and showed it to everyone, like a war wound...
here is my classroom:

hope you like the atmosphere, i think it's nice, especially since the last one was beige and brown...

and here is my baby, hoping it's not the last pic i take of her...


and here are the monster pancakes my pupils made, unfortunatly i'm not allowed to post the pupils so you'll only get their hideous creations:


finally i'm going to rennes in april and i'd like to go very far away this summer to spoil the national education's money on something worht it...
i'm done see you later!
