... and I've done practically nothing. I have no real, solid plans for this weekend, I'm way behind on schoolwork, and I think I'm just going to skip my French lab today. However, it is the best day ever, with the exception of this year's Valentine's weekend. I just sent in a signed copy of my acceptance letter to be an intern with the Charles G. Koch Internship Program over the summer in Washington D.C!! I don't know exactly where I'll be working or where I'll be living, but I'll be paid, be given lots of free books and food, learn a ton about economics, and generally have a blast.
Being in France has taught me many things, but mostly I've learned that I worry about too many things and I like to plan way far in advance. Thus, I've already started looking into possible living situations over the summer and plan to meet Asher in our favorite city in the world, New York City, over 4th of July weekend. If anyone has any recommendations for D.C. living, PLEASE let me know. Also, if there are any other students, interns, or particularly GLSers residing in D.C. over the summer, let me know so we can split an apartment. I love planning.
In other news, Grenoble has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth today. The sun is shining, it's about 45 degrees, and there is a ton of snow in the mountains that one can see very clearly throughout the city. My CEA director also told me today that I clearly reminded him of Natalie Wood ("Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night..."). Kind of funny. I will post about Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, and the Provence countryside very soon so keep a look out.
Bisous!!
