So, my good friend Coffee has helped me get out of my post-election, pre-winter funk and I am back. Yesterday was spent at the library diligently borrowing a massive pile of law manuals, philosophical manifestos, and other various sundries to start preparing for my first exam season which begins November 22 and ends December 13. As for my projects, I have been incredibly efficient and already have a head start on 2 of them: a marketing project that I am working on with the Mairie de Paris (city hall) about handicap accessible transportation and an analysis of the idea that "Information wants to be free."

I also picked up a FUSAC (the Bible for lost anglophones in Paris) and found what could perhaps be the perfect job for me. It is working as a translator for this website, viaFrance.com, which is a tourism site dedicated to various events going on in France. It is a big site and seems like it would be a fun job. Keep me wired into the times. When I called about the job, everyone seemed very nice. I get nervous though when I want something badly, so I hope that I didn't come across as a flake on the phone...

After several disappointments on the job front, mostly due to the premature job search that I went on before all of my papers were regulated, I am finally poised to throw myself whole-heartedly back into the working world and, as if a sign from Athena, this seemingly perfect job seems to creep up. It probably won't pay well, but that's ok! It will be nice to do something that makes use of my skills.

"Employers only hire people who have skills, you know like numchucking skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills..."

Keep your fingers crossed for me!
