It's nearly midnight and I should be sleeping. But yay! I have internet. It's not actually easy to find an electronics store selling slightly obscure USB to ethernet apple connectors when your first reflex is to go on the internet to find one.
I whould want to say everything is going fine but it sounds so very cliche.
This is the view I get when I take the tram at 7:30 in the morning, not so bad I should think. I succeeded in finding out that my internship will not just be observation without directly asking about it, lets be grateful for small victories.
Also, this is the comments form my ortho evaluation:
Très timide, plus nerveuse que la moyenne
Habiletés sociales sont à développer
Très bonnes connaissances
Bonnes techniques opératoires
Never in my life have I been so happy to receive bad criticism, especially since they kindly inform us teachers and students on the evaluation form that those comments will be part of the Carms application.
I have managed to stay a lot calmer through out most of today, even with the added stress of being in another city, so I'm probably not a lost cause after all. Social interaction is but a game you can play, a thing that can be learnt and perfected like every other thing, or so I succeed in telling my self on my better days. Optalmology actually is interesting. I really should stop letting myself be influenced by others and my own rampant self doubt. There's lots of physics and complicated optical instruments, and patient interaction small enough to allow me to concentrate on what I'm going to say and how I'm going to say it.
I haven't met any new people at the residence but there is a boy from Sherbrooke also making an internship at Strasbourg. I guess he's nice enough and not so boring to talk to, but then again, people's good side come up when they travel, They become less guarded, more spontaneous. Still, I am probably annoying him with my excited chatter. It's funny how I keep running into him, at Mont-Saint-Louis, in my groupe d'unité multi last semester, and now here. I should be more familiar with him but I'm not.
And mom, I can see you from here imagining things that aren't there from the moment I said boy.
Well you wanted details and here they are. Basically, I made myself worry for nothing on most counts and things are as good as can be. Lets see how long it last.

Ingrid (best mom in the world and a fan of yours) Le lundi 25 février 2013, Ingrid Button a écrit : You are such an optimist. And funny in a sarcastic way to boot! I love the details. I just hope "the boy" is not reading your blog! If you keep running in to him it must mean that you are meant to pay attention and get to know him a little. But then agapin, you don't beleive in this sort on celestine prophecy so you should just ignore him! :/ What if he became a good friend? Better not take the chance and ignore him! Just kidding. :) lov u much.

Jennifer Hey Alexandra, your mom shared this link with me. Hope it's ok. Enjoyed the read. Sounds like it's going great, actually. I would take competent over socially involved any day. It looks like you can handle yourself really well. These are stressful times for you, good stress, but off the Richter scale. Sending good thoughts. Everyone here says Hi.
