About me

Naissance_4   Once upon a time (in fact on 3rd august in 1982) a baby named Thomas was born in Remiremont,a small town in Les Vosges...

   My father is a biology teacher whereas my mother works as a psychologist. I have only one sister who is three years younger than me. We lived happily in the mountains...

     Lapinbleu2_2

Now I have to make an important disclosure...

Since I was wearing blue glasses, the name I was known-when I was a child- was "Blue Rabbit"!

As you may understand, it has been a long road to accept it...

Enfance

 

    When I was a child, I used to be very dynamic. I always wanted to do plenty of things and my head was full of dreams...

Reve_1

But, each night, I dreamt that I could be an astrophysicist or a politician.

Martin Luther King was one of my heroes.

Adolescence_7

   I must confess that I took advantage of my teenage years. I even learnt how to dance rock'n'roll and how to talk to girls... In fact the only problem that was worrying me was to know what I wanted to do and who I wanted to become...

  Ny_2

   When I was studying in highschool, I used to take part in all kinds of competitions. History, Mathematics, Chemistry, or even Finance could be possibilities. This was how some friends and I won a trip to New-York after gambling on the Stock Exchange. However I must grant you that a trip to Canada would have been more exciting!...

   Finally I decided to turn to mathematics and physics and to go to prépa.                                                            

Prepa_2

   The years I was studying in prépa were the worst ones in my life. Nevertheless, as very often in life, you only realize how beneficial a period may be when it is over... As a matter of fact, being a student from "l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Nancy" is a great opportunity for me.

To_be

 

   When I arrived in this school, I really needed to know who I really was and what I intended to do.

   Fortunately, teachers helped me to find my way... Today I intend to do material sciences research.

Radio_1   

   Now I want to seize life. That is why I have played football for one year whereas I had no practical experience of this sport.

Moreover I am a member of a non-profit-making radio. I carry out interviews when I have enough time. Technically it is very interesting and it also allows me to meet interesting people. For instance, just before Christmas I talked with homeless people in the streets of Nancy. Last year I tried my luck sending an e-mail to Bénabar, a famous singer. How surpised I could have been wen he agreed to meet me...

Lou   

   Before concluding this post, let me introduce you to Marie who has been actually my girlfriend for more than two years.

   When you look at the picture, may you guess her nickname? I assume you have got it... Goldilocks!

Hi Thomas,

I can't help smiling when I look to your drawings, it's so an original way to introduce yourself !
I guess that your studies through the "prépa" should have been difficult but you seem to be happy of the results you get.

P.S : If your girlfriend is as beautiful as you've drawn her, you're very lucky ! ;-)

T.M: Hello Dom!
Thank you very much for your comment!
Thomas

P.S: I know I am lucky and also that I should never introduce her to you!

Hey Thomas,

I am glad to get to know you. I ended up here through a friend who mentioned this program and the students' blogs to me and I find it very exciting indeed!!!

Now that you have introduced yourself, maybe your girlfriend could give us her own view about who you are, what do you think? ;-)

Thank you for comment Mimo!
Your idea is excellent!
In fact, it will depend on if she has enough time to do it..
But keep confident, I will nag her into doing it!
