My day/night was pretty excellent.

I went into BU for a practice run of a presentation Marion and I are doing for our literature class on an excerpt from a Zola book. We totally owned it. We are super good at literary analysis. The professor was very impressed.

Then the sun was out, so Marion and I decided to go back to Montmartre to try to get some decent pictures of the sunset for our presentation (the last time we went, it was cloudy and gross). It was fun, Montmartre is one of my favorite areas of Paris so far. We got some great pictures, listened to some street musicians, bought a crepe and then got some hot chocolate in a little cafe on our way down.


Came back to La Fondation for dinner with Sam and Gerald, and then Sam and I headed out to the 6eme arrondissement where we met some friends for some jazz at this tiny club called Hippocampus. It was incredible. Piano, clarinet and washboard. The music was phenomenal (especially when Papy Cravatte started playing his washboard tie!) and the people were really friendly. Next weekend is Golden Oldies night, so we're totally going back.

So. What sort of services will you be providing in your small-business internship?

And what the devil is Etorki?

My specific tasks haven't been determined yet but they could include: interviewing French students in English, giving talks on cultural differences and studying abroad, dealing with visa processes at various embassies and/or proofreading English documents.

Etorki is the best cheese in the world!
