It's finally 2019! What a year 2018 has been...from the bad to the good, I found this past year to be quite the roller-coaster compared to previous years. But I've survived, though, and I'm ready to tackle 2019! Looking back, I found 2018 to be one of the harder years in my adulthood so far. …

Happy Holidays 2018!
Hello! It's been a while since I last posted, but in any case I'm dropping in to wish all of you a wonderful holidays. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or some other holiday, I hope that you have a great time nonetheless. Currently, I'm still on vacation (or rather, taking a break from work …
5 Years on WordPress! (and reflections)
Greetings! As you can read from the post's title, today (December 20th) marks my five-year anniversary (or I should say "blogiversary") on WordPress! Since writing about my first-year anniversary back in 2014, I've dedicated each year to a post about the things I've learned from blogging, as well as myself-- cliché as it sounds, I …
A (Small) Blog Change
Greetings, bloggers! If you haven't noticed, my blog's URL has been *slightly* changed to thefinickycynic.wordpress.com. After almost five years of being "thefinickycynicat.wordpress.com," I've finally been able to change it, since I honestly got so peeved with the extra "at" I'd added when setting up my blog. Due to this small, but notable change, many of …
Taking a Break (on vacation again!)
Hello! Yes, it's that time of year again...even though I just came back from my October holidays barely two weeks ago, I am once again heading out to travel! Basically, I had two weeks of work after returning from my week-long vacation in October, which went by rather quickly. I just finished giving my final …
Back to Blogging (again!)
Greetings, bloggers! After a brief week-long break from blogging, I've finally returned to it! So much has happened since I've been gone-- namely, I'd been traveling a bit around France, and I've had plenty of fun. From meeting new people to trying out new experiences, it's been quite interesting, but all the same enjoyable. That …
Off on Vacation!
Hey, all! Yes, it's that time of year again, where I'll be taking a week-long paid vacation from work. As I've been doing these past few years abroad, I'll be traveling during my time off, as means of getting out of my flat and exploring more of this country called France. It's been a while …
Moved In!
Hello, folks! Last week, I wrote a post about moving out of my flat that I'd been in for over a year. Considering that I'd been in a flat-share, i.e. with roommates, and had been plagued with constant roommate drama throughout the past year (and also a bit this year), I knew that I wouldn't …
Happy October 2018! (and updates)
Greetings! Welcome to the first day of October. Now that school's been back in session for nearly a month, I've found October to be the "time of settling," which means that things are becoming habitual with classes, lessons, grading, and so forth. Same goes for my life outside of work: I tend to relax on …
Back in France (and back to blogging!)
Bonjour! About a week has passed since I last blogged, and now I have the time to do so again. If you didn't read my last post, I took a break from blogging to head back to France, where I'll be starting another year of teaching English. My flight to Paris went very smoothly. Compared …
