About



Name: Lauren

From: Stillwater, Oklahoma, United States

I am a 19 year old high school graduate and am currently living in Bretagne, France as a Rotary Foreign Exchange student. Next semester I plan on attending the University of Oklahoma as a double major in French and Spanish. I have hopes to be an interpreter someday, if not with the United Nations then with some other type of international organization. I follow the Aristotelean philosophy that what one gains in the number of friends one has, one loses in depth, quality, and closeness, therefore I have always preferred to have a few good friends rather than a 'group'. I enjoy good books, good music, and good conversation. Of course if it's good, what's not to like?

I can take a hint...
Saturday, September 29, 2007

This was on my horoscope today:

Virgo: You've been getting yourself all worked about something, but no one else seems to be worrying about it. Take a cue from them and calm down a bit.

OK! I get it! :D

All the Rest
Sunday, September 23, 2007

So here's the media I promised I would add in my video diary. Like I said, last weekend we went to a fund raiser for an African village. It was a really big party with a bunch of bohèmites! I had so much fun! The food was good, the music was great, and the company was a blast! See for yourself with this video clip and the following pictures:

And as you all know I had a birthday this weekend. Here's a picture of the gifts I received. I named the dog Raoul in dedication to one of the songs the band sang last weekend: Raoul Mon Pitbull!



So I've been talking about homework a lot. Or at least I've been thinking about it a lot... For no small reason!


All my philosphy books.



All my literature books.


And finally: I decided to move my room around! I like it much better like this, much roomier, have a look:







Ok, that's it for now. Ciao!

Video Deux


My second video diary from France. First week at Lycée La Mennais!


And a bonus! The pre-departure video I made the day before I left is now available here. Thank-you Windows Movie Maker! It shrunk the file size by almost ten times!
