Hey you people !

How are you doing?
Here, in France, things are not at their best at the moment as it's dealing with a huge drop of the euro, a national dept that went over the top of what would normally be seen as normal and, to add on bad news, we got 3millions of unsatisfied, because unemployed , french people at least. With that I think we can be called "grounch" for the next following years even though we're already known for grumbling louder than any other europeen countries...Anyway, not a good time to be in France.
But, myselft, I'm really good right now. Being busy suits me. Being exhausted doesn't but a bit of organisation should solve that problem. Between homework and the job I got outside of school, I haven't really got time to do anything else but I'm still finding some breaches in my schedule to READ !

The last book I read was a play of Sartre called Huis Clos. Do you know Sartre? He's a french philosopher, novelist, and play writer of the XXth century, that also took a lead into the resistance and fought through his writings during and after the WWII. About that play...it's the story of three people, two women and a man, that found themselves lock into the same room after being dead but without knowing why. THey're in hell... Why would this room, in which there is a light, that can't be turned off, three coaches, one for each of them, and a statue in bronze, be hell after all? Because "hell is other people" is what will say Garcin, the man character. Everyone already got that feeling once when you stayed with someone for too long and then need to recharge your batteries before seing that person again. Being trapped with the same people for eternity must be pretty tough to survive to, except when you're already dead !  All in all, it's a pretty ironical play on how is it possible to live with each other whithout wanting to kill them.
