trèfle à cinq feuilles [the five leaf clover]: April 2012
http://trefleacinqfeuilles.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 27, 2012. My last class ever was with 5emes. 5eme is a funny age where some kids are still adorable children and other are awkwardly on their way to teenage years and others yet are all-growed-up. I made the hour into a Q&A session whose success was varied but overall positive. It was a good finish. I'm gonna miss my little big monsters. One more day at the primary school and I'm done. So sad, so sad, so sad. I've got quite the day planned out, however. My little monsters are go...It's real...

trèfle à cinq feuilles [the five leaf clover]: Domesticity
http://trefleacinqfeuilles.blogspot.com/2012/10/domesticity.html
Wednesday, October 3, 2012. My herbs have started sprouting! Déjeuner. Sautée garlic, onion and bell pepper (orange), add boiling water and a bouillon cube. Verser. My lovely new futon! My room is wonderfully bright and now I have a comfortable couch to sit on and enjoy the sunlight. Strasbourg is treating me kindly and I promise to write about it soon. Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 5:04:00 AM GMT 1. I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ACCOMPLISHING SO MUCH. TEACH ME HOW TO COOK AND INTERIOR DECORATEEEEEE. From St. ...

trèfle à cinq feuilles [the five leaf clover]: July 2012
http://trefleacinqfeuilles.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 7, 2012. Big news, everyone. Yeah, so, I've been more than a little absent. I apologize for that. Since returning to the US of A, I immediately spent three weeks on the road hitting up three awesome weddings. And then, quite out of nowhere, I started working at a camp for refugee children. These kids, quite simply, stole my heart (they can steal your hearts, too, if you'd just click here. I, MCJ, love France. You may recall that at the end of April, I took the TCF. And projet de recherche.

trèfle à cinq feuilles [the five leaf clover]: November 2012
http://trefleacinqfeuilles.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2012. Oh hey blog heyyyyy. So much to update on before I have to "actually, really, no, seriously" start studying for finals. Because, you know, finals here are all that my grade will be based on. Dear wonderful friend that sent me the card (you know who you are), I miss you and love you and the card is now on my wall making me very, very, very happy. And THANKSGIVING for 20! I'm kind of tired, though, seeing as it is 2h14 here so I'll present this in pictures:. My room (where the e...

trèfle à cinq feuilles [the five leaf clover]: Happy Halloween!!!!
http://trefleacinqfeuilles.blogspot.com/2012/10/happy-halloween.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2012. The candy bowl, post-trick or treaters. Yeah, you read that right. Starting a couple weeks ago, my Leclerc put out bags of candy at the front. Could it be? Bonbons for a Strasbourg Halloween? I got really excited until I remembered that I would probably not be in town for Halloween, given that Halloween naturally falls during the Toussaint vacation (when I had planned to be visiting friends elsewhere). Le sapin de Noël. Charlie Brown and Linus, could it BE? And what did I see?

trèfle à cinq feuilles [the five leaf clover]: September 2012
http://trefleacinqfeuilles.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 23, 2012. There are a lot of things I could be writing about, but I think I'll just write about last night. A couple weeks ago, I went to Paris to visit a friend living there and a friend that was there for a conference. Prior to leaving, I was speaking with flatmates B (French) and N (Brit) and mentioned that I was really excited to go and try out the first ever Chipotle in France (because, my goodness, burritos! N was like, "I LOVE Chipotle! The haul. Black beans, chicken, chili t...

trèfle à cinq feuilles [the five leaf clover]: August 2011
http://trefleacinqfeuilles.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Fear and Loafing in Lex Vegas. Now that I'm back at home, I don't have too much to do aside from prepare for France. This involves a lot of reading former assistant blogs (that's productive, right? Now, back to fixing up my French and emailing my future coworkers. I'm not too anxious about my French right now because I know I will learn a lot. Of French on my arrival, but it's still intimidating to realize how many random words I don't know. Saturday, August 20, 2011. By Polly...

trèfle à cinq feuilles [the five leaf clover]: January 2012
http://trefleacinqfeuilles.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. After the meal, they took me to see Gavré, another lovely coastal town in the region. They then dropped me off in Lorient where I hung out with friends at the one place (an Irish pub) open on Sundays. So yes, an excellent weekend. Next weekend is looking like it could top this one's. I might just be going on a roadtrip. Tags: Living in France. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Apparently wearing it prompts "you're so pretty! Remarks from French friends and students. Today I am official...

trèfle à cinq feuilles [the five leaf clover]: La maison rose
http://trefleacinqfeuilles.blogspot.com/2012/09/la-maison-rose.html
Monday, September 3, 2012. And now for some pictures of my new city:. Strasbourg is a very bike-friendly city. Spotted: an American flag. A little tribute to Alsatian wines. While I was here, a man came up and tasted one of the grapes from the vine. He did not seem to care for it. Things can feel pretty deserted on Sundays. And now for pictures of the room! Ikea chic (though my bed is actually from some similar - undoubtedly cheaper - German brand). I'm feeling pretty lucky, camping. I LOVE your room!
