I'm really angry about these group works:
  • not because I have to work
  • not even because I have to spend my Saturday and Sunday on it
  • but for the reason that we are late, because we had wait for the output of some group members and that the same people are now on away for a 2 days trip just as we got the feedback of the Professor telling us that we are missing some important points...
  • and moreover the same students are afterwards complaining about the grade we get!!!!!!
INCREDIBLE!!!!

Which Hogwarts Class Would You Teach?

You would teach Potions. You are a creative person. You're the type of person that could change a situtation around in a short matter of time. You are also artistic and when it comes to new ideas, you're the one everybody else turns to.

What Type of Movie Would Your Life Be?

You life would be an Action Flick. You live for the adventure and run on adrenaline. You are fearless and aren't one to let anything stop you from what you need to do. You most definitely are a thrill seeker, which sometimes gets you into trouble. However, you always find a way out of whatever predicament you find yourself in.

What Kind of Drink Are You?

You are a Juice Box. Some say you're no fun, but you know better than to waste your time drinking. Not only does alcohol cut down on time better spent being productive, studies show it can have an adverse effect on your long-term health. You have plenty of friends, but you don't get invited to the coolest parties. Sometimes you might wish you weren't so different, but other times you consider yourself better than the rest.

Voici ce qui me fait sourire toute seule rien qu'en y pensant.

(1) "Ma sei biancha come la mozzarella!"
en français on dirait, "tu es blanche comme un linge"

(2) Con 27 inizia il desiderio di fondare una famiglia. Anche prima... ma da 27 e dopo diviene forte per tutti.
Un ami, extrêmement convaincu! mais ce que je n'ai pas compris c'est pourquoi l'âge de 27 ans serait charnière par rapport au désir d'avoir une femme/mari et des enfants ;-) Nous parlions de Proverbe 30,23 "Trois choses font trembler la terre (dont ...) Une femme dédaignée qui se marie"

(3) L: I met Ari yesterday!
F: Who? Mohammed?
She understood Ali and made a shortcut to Mohammed ;-)

Yesterday morning we went skimboarding with my brother. The water was cold but we managed not to fall down ;-) Actually I improved my surfing since last year... the winter was positive!

Pila est la station de ski d'Aoste. Plutôt affreuse sans neige. A partir de mi-avril le téléphérique est hors-service et il y a 3 bus de substitution par jour. Il faut 30 minutes pour redescendre. Par contre il y a 2 balançoires de rêve... on a l'impression que si l'on saute on va atterrir sur le Mont-Blanc.

Aoste (550m)
Charvensod (800m)
Ermitage de San Grato (1787m), il commençait à y avoir sérieusement de la neige.

montée, montée, montée... l'espoir fait vivre!

Le 3e début du sentier 14L... YES! enfin



L'ermitage

La vue, sans grand angle, beaucoup plus impressionnant en vrai!

Aoste, chef-lieu de la région est une petite ville située au fond de la vallée (580m). Il n'y a pas de grande curiosité à visiter. Il reste des ruines datant de l'époque romaine et un tilleul de 350 ans ;-) Néanmoins j'ai vraiment apprécié la tranquillité et la beauté du lieu. Personnellement je pense que la beauté de la nature dépassera toujours n'importe quelle construction humaine. La vallée est entourée des plus hauts monts des Alpes occidentales: Mont-Blanc (4807), Grand Combin (4314), Mont Cervino (4478), Gran Paradiso (4061)...

Location: Aosta (it), Aoste (fr)
Price: 12 eur for Milano M1 Lampugnano - Aosta with SAVDA autobus
Duration: 2h30

useful links:
(bus lines and timetable) http://www.savda.it/
(touristic information about Valle d'Aosta) http://www.regione.vda.it/turismo/default_f.asp

"The Valle d'Aosta is the smallest region in Italy with 120,000 inhabitants and is "set" in the Alpine mountain range, surrounded by some of the highest mountains in Europe (often described as the “four 4000s ). The regional capital is Aosta, originally called Augusta Pretoria and founded in 25 A.C. under the Roman Empire. Switzerland is to the north, France to the west, Piedmont to the south and east."

PS: idéal pour échapper à Milan, se retrouver dans la nature, prendre l'air et le soleil. Par contre il n'y a pas de randonnées à partir d'Aoste même, il vaut mieux avoir une voiture.
