Happy New Year

First of all I want to wish everyone a wonderful, healthy, happy, and joyful 2008!!!
May this be a year of peace for you, your families and the world. That is my one wish: PEACE FOR ALL!!

On another note, my computer caught a virus which disconfigured my wireless connection and therefore I can't connect to the internet (I'm currently using someone else's computer). In addition, some of the applications are running very slow or they just freeze on me while trying to open them. And to top it all, it also did something to my Norton anti-virus because I cannot run it anymore, it started conflicting with other applications and I had to uninstall it. So right now my computer has no anitivirus software and I'm extremely scared to connect it with the LAN cable given its current state. I was on the phone with my "help-desk" in the US (a.k.a my brother) until 4 o'clock in the morning the other day and the veridict is somewhat sad: I have to re-install window. The good news is that thanks to my always pro-active brother who brought me an additional hard drive when he was in Germany I won't loose all of my data.

The current status: I'm waiting for my windows CD to arrive here in Paris sometime this week so I can re-install it and be back in business. Until then I won't be posting any stories or pictures in the blog.

For now I'll just tell you I had a great time in Madrid where I spent Christmas. I came back to Paris on December 27th and received 2008 right in front of the Eiffel Tower together with the 400,000 tourists who were in the city to also welcome the New Year and with who knows how many Parisians who also gathered around the most iconic symbol of Paris to say "au revoir" (good-bye) 2007 and "salut" (hello) 2008. The new year has been a calmed year for me where I've spend most of my time visiting museums and other sites in the city as well as getting together with friends who were out of town during the holidays. I only have a bout 3 weeks left in France so I won't be going to school anymore and will take this time to hopefully travel in France and also to finish doing some tourism in the city.

I'll keep you posted
