annus mirabilis: March 2010
http://claireswordsfromafar.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. Ok so I'm attempting to catch up on my blogging. Here I go. So let's see, London was just awesome! And so much more happened after my first post. I'll be brief though because I think I've already told all my (few) readers about it already! Haha First big event- that day I went to get my tattoo! The studio was just perfect, look up "Good Times Tattoo" and you'll see what I mean. Clean, friendly, wordly, stylish; what more could you ask for? My reward for 2 hours under the needle!

annus mirabilis: April 2010

Monday, April 12, 2010. So this is going to be an all-encompassing, mega-summarizing, super-post so brace yourselves. After London, I came home and then left on a school retreat about half a week later. When I signed up for it, I had no idea what the retreat would be about or who was going or even where we were going. Honestly, I just wanted to miss school! After Maredsous, there was a bit of a tragedy chez moi. My grandma- what a fox! Oh my goodness, I LOVE MOROCCO! The first day was very deserty, but t...

annus mirabilis: August 2009
http://claireswordsfromafar.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. Here's some pictures, they're a little out of order but this photo uploader is a pain. So this is the wine cellar at my host grandma's house. I thought my mom would like this! Some of the wine is so old that when you try to wipe the dust off, the label crumbles off! This is a raclette. Ours is a little different but you get the idea. Not a great picture, but you can see G.B. over there! This is the path that I got lost on. Just some pictures of Malonne. Sunday, August 30, 2009.

annus mirabilis: June 2009

Wednesday, June 24, 2009. So I just downloaded Skype. It's a free online phone/chat service so if you want to be able to call me or be called by me while I am away this is the way to do it! My username is: cdenoyo. Sunday, June 21, 2009. Ok, so a lot has happened since my last post and now. . I heard from AFS and have now been formally accepted into Belgium! It's just something I'm going to have to overcome! 1) Become fluent (or at least very comfortable) in French. To do all the homework! 5) Be a good r...

Sunday, April 5, 2009. Hello everyone, ha everyone. So ever since early September (2008), I have been doing paperwork, gettting shots, doing paperwork, renewing my passport, getting letters of recommendation, doing paperwork, being interviewed, doing paperwork, trying to get a hold of my adviser, doing paperwork and finding out there is still more to do after I had been told I was done.oh, and more paperwork! Well, one of the requirements for the scholarship is that I keep a blog, so viola, here it is!

annus mirabilis: December 2009
http://claireswordsfromafar.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 26, 2009. It was pretty weird not being with my family for Christmas and seeing my friend over the holidays but that didn't stop me from having a good time, it was just different. So a few days before Christmas, my host siblings and I went to my host grandmother's house out in the country. There wasn't a lot to do but it was nice and peaceful. I spent most of the time reading but I did get out a few times. On our second day there, Gwenny, Valentin and I made a snow couch! On Christmas ...

annus mirabilis: Sorry!/Explanation
http://claireswordsfromafar.blogspot.com/2010/03/sorryexplanation.html
Monday, March 22, 2010. At first glance, this may look like a fountain of a little boy peeing. Well, no need to look twice, cuz that's exactly what it is. When I first went to Brussels, just days after my arrival here in Belgium, I was fortunate enough to be able to see this Manneken Pis. This is the most tacky thing I've ever seen! And of course they chose the most crude and random thing, because hey, they can! It's hilarious, and kinda a big "F you! To the rest of Europe. What's not to like? Being "The...

Sunday, February 7, 2010. Ok, so I know I completely suck at blogging. But to be honest, nothing really interesting has happened. Ok, so that's not completely true. a lot of interesting stuff has happened but I just have been too lazy to blog. After Christmas, my mother and sister came to visit! We had a great time in Namur and on our excursions as well! You see, they were invited to a party by my host parents, which I believed was at my house. but as it turned out, when they arrived we learned t. It was...

annus mirabilis: Because London rocks!
http://claireswordsfromafar.blogspot.com/2010/02/because-london-rocks.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2010. I’m currently in this nice little Italian café in LONDON, sipping one of the best cappuccinos I’ve ever had paired with a rather mediocre croissant (hey, France and Belgium have spoiled me! Though it’s only the beginning of my first full day in London, I can tell you right now that I’ve fallen in love! Ok, ok, I know that’s not too hard for me, and that I’m quite the floozy when it comes to new places, but on top of that, London really is a fantastic city. 8221; The hostel I...
