Finally back after about 3 weeks without internet at home!
As it's rather late, I'll (try to) do a very quick update!
First of all, as far as my goal to read 100 pages in Japanese, I finished it in 8
days..!! I couldn't stop. Unfortunately after that life kicked in and I couldn't read
for 5 days but I'm back now! I'm changing my goal to finish the book before 2014 !
As for the rest:
- Tintin in chinese: a bit more than half way (couldn't read for a week)
- Read 1 out of 4 Norwegian articles (gonna try another one this week)
- 2 news articles in Korean only so I need to shape up
- about 15 articles in Japanese. Will do some NHK easy news this week as well as normal
ones. I hope to get to 25-30 before the end of the week.
- read 50 와라!편의점 so 2/3 done already.
- 1 korean grammar point : 곤하다. And 11 sentences made out of that.
- Chinese Grammar: none yet. I'll try to do one this week, 2 during my holidays and one
coming back.
Apart from all that, I'm still looking for my internship. I did have an interview for
Mercedes Japan (!!!!) last week and half of it (15min) was in Japanese. I was really
scared before starting but it went fine. I'm now waiting for an answer (which will
could be coming anytime now as they said they'd tell me this week) and if I get it,
I'll start on February 1st for 6 months! pleaaaaaaaaaaaase tell me I got it,
Pleaaaaaaaaase!
As for TAC2014, I've enrolled in the Japanese, Korean and Chinese teams and as a
wanderluster in the Scandinavian team. I'm still not sure of how my year will be (as
it'll depend on my internship) but as soon as I know, I'll write it here and in the
team logs!

Good luck for getting the internship! Definitely sounds exciting!
Your progress on your many December goals is inspiring. I still haven't gotten around to doing anything for the last Asian team challenge...
Glad to be on a team with you again next year!

Thanks to both of you!
I haven't had time to do the last challenge either but I'll definitely get around with it
during my holidays... hopefully!
Same here! You may say I inspire you with my progress, but I am still far (far) from your
level in Korean although it seems we started around the same time.. *ashamed of himself
for being such a lazy-ass*

...but I don't know any Chinese and Japanese (although I'd like to, at least Chinese)... *ashamed of herself for being such a lazy-ass* ;)

Well, I didn't get the internship... Kinda feel like I missed the ONLY chance to try
working there but who knows, maybe in a few (or not so few) years?
In the meantime, I've had an interview for the Philippines and got it but as it's not
paid, I cannot afford it.
There's one in Bali for which I'm waiting for an answer but basically the only problem
was the starting date (too early : January 3rd although I finish my present internship
on January 31st)...
I'm waiting for a few others but I really feel that I'm going to be stuck for one more
full year in France.. Which doesn't look that exciting.
On the bright side, I am now 14 pages away from finishing my book! I've already bought
today the next one too. It's from Takuji Ichikawa (市川拓司) and it's called 「今、会
いにゆきます」. The storyline seems fine and It was well appreciated on that AWESOME
website I found today where people list what they read, want to read and rate and
comment them. You can even follow how many pages/books you're reading per month! I'll
need to check it out more in details later, but for now, for those interested :

@G-bod: For skype, unfortunately, we'll have to wait it out a bit. How about around the
10th or so January?
