Goodness, I hate the weather in Lyon. Mainly it's because when it rains, it rains the whole day long, and you can't go out without getting yourself soaking wet. But this week takes the cake.
On Monday it was HOT. It was all summery. Then on Tuesday it was co-o-old. Wednesday? Even colder. And today? Kick someone from the past or the future into today, don't tell him what date it is, and he'll say it's winter. No snow, but the wind was so darn cold! (and strong too, I might add)
So there you go. As my friends put it, it's the 1st of June, but the weather's more like the 1st of March.

Tribute to our Physics teacher
We had our last Physics class yesterday.
Our Physics teacher was actually kinda weird, during the first semester he hardly (or didn't?) smiled at all, he had always the same expression on his face, and it was quite "sad", if you know what I mean. But during the second semester he started to smile more often. In part I think it was because we got slightly wackier in class, a few times we did such crazy things that he started smiling (we still haven't had the chance to hear him laugh) If I'm not mistaken the first was when one of us was doing a question on the board, and when she had finished, the teacher said: "There's something wrong. Do you see why?" Then one of the other girls said "It's because [the name of the girl who did the question] did it!" I think that was the first time we actually saw him smile :-P
His class was always from 4-6pm, Wednesday and Friday. Once one of my friends said "Can we stop here?" when it was nearing 6 o'clock, and he let us leave early, so the Friday before the Christmas holidays, we signed a "petition" asking to go back a bit early (actually it was just a paper with a smiley face on it, and the words "can we stop here?"). That worked (even without looking at what was written, the teacher knew what we wanted :-P) Then the Friday before the April holidays we each held up a piece of paper with a letter on it, spelling out "can we stop here?"
So I come to what happened yesterday. One of my friends (yes, yet another one, none of the above, since the wacky people in my class are many and varied) comes often to class with a parcel, because he receives stuff from his parents and he has to go and get his parcel before 6pm. This time he came in with an enormous box, and the teacher asked him (calmly, because he doesn't ever get excited, but he did have a little smile on his face) whether he could know what was inside (usually the parcels he brings are relatively small), and my friend handed him the parcel, saying "oh, sure, it's for you" (unfortunately we didn't really get to see his face at that time, since he was turned towards the door, but I think that if he was surprised, it wouldn't have showed) And well, it was a t-shirt with "we could (maybe) stop here" written on it. Unfortunately no one had a camera with them, so I don't have a photo.
Another thing I have to say is that this teacher is always in a black sweater, and the t-shirt was white, so we don't really think he'll put it on! :-P We even considered getting a bright pink t-shirt at first! lol

Nothing lasts forever
A few hours later...
*sniff* My rabbit's dead! :'(
Okay, so I'm exaggerating. But let's admit that it's a sad sight. First an ear deflated (and later on I found that a tiny hole in the ear part was the culprit), then the twisted part at the base of the ears turned loose, so the air from the other ear and the head could escape through the hole. I thought it had stopped there, but no, suddenly I heard a plastic-rubbing-plastic sound, and turning around, I saw that the body had twisted loose as well. I grabbed a roll of cellophane tape to patch it together before the air escaped, but by the time I turned back around to "heal" it, the air had all escaped, and all I had left was...well, what you see in the picture. So I did a few turns around the tail (haha, I bet you forgot that that was the tail!) and sellotaped it in place. Now let's see how long it lasts.
I know it's crazy to analyse a rabbit's death this way, but let's just say that I'm trying to come to terms with my loss.
lol!

A dream come true! lol
Guess what this is!
Well, it's a rabbit. A balloon-rabbit. You know when you see magic shows and they ask a kid to go up to the stage, and the magician does a whole lot of tricks with those long balloons, "transforming" them into real animals and all? Well, I've always wanted one of those balloon-animals that they got in the end. And now I've got one! :-D
You see, the problem is that only little kids get balloons, and when we were small we only had those round balloons, not these, um...artistic ones. So I never had the chance to have one. But this weekend it happens to be the "24-hour" weekend in INSA, and there are many activities(including sumo-wrestling, which I actually did; I'll post some photos when I have them), and it's open to outsiders as well. That means that there were a lot of little kids on the campus, and there were 2 "clowns" (well, half-clowns, only their faces were painted) going around handing out balloons. Two of my friends asked for hats, but I wasn't going to waste my balloon on a hat! :-P So I got myself a rabbit :-D
Well, these two photos are just to show you the rabbit from other angles. ;-)

Pika pika!
Ever wondered how Pikachu got his name? Well, I got the answer yesterday, during a presentation in my French class. It was a presentation on mangas, and it seems that when they draw something sparkling in mangas, they write "pika pika" beside it (something like "vroom vroom" when a car goes by) And that's why Pikachu is called, well, Pikachu :-D
(Thanks to Youness for this interesting bit of information :-P)
And here are a few tips on how to draw Pikachu, for any budding artists out there ;-)
Oh yeah, I managed to move the photo! (why didn't I think of doing this before? :-/)

Nice, eh?
Just 2 photos I took on my way back from Nice the other day. I didn't have my camera out, so I borrowed my friend's, and she just sent them to me. We can even see the rocks underwater...nice, huh?
