So, I am back a week earlier than expected with excellent news! I haven't slept really since my last post so please excuse any retardedness on my part. I finished my exams and I killed them, with the exception of one truly disturbing oral exam where the professor told me that I obviously have no interest in French culture because, other than the candidates names, I couldn't tell him what was significant about the 1995 French presidential debate. (Expected answer : the debate was uninteresting.) So yeah. Bite me. At least I didn't leave crying like a dozen other students. I tell you, this country makes the US seem like the world's most civilized locale.

In other news, the summer job search is over. I just received news that I will be working for 4 months at the Louvre, which is, like, totally wicked. (I don't know that is some kind of Boston Valley Girl-speak.) I am working in their translation department and--check this out--my contract is for 4 days a week and I get 2 weeks of vacation. Plus, there are statues--statues I tell you!--in my office. Statues of horses, as the wing used to be the royal stables.

Last night, I denounced all of France and all the people who live in this sorry, spoiled country, but today, all (well, almost all) is forgiven. I am off to take a nap before I have to give a class to a spoiled French engineer and then go get nutty with my classmates to celebrate the end of exams.

I hope to be a posting maniac in the days that follow.
