I'm still here!

I haven't really had much to blog about thanks to my thesis. I've turned in 28 pages over the past 7 days... just 22 more to write! I will be sooooo glad when it's all over with.

This cracked me up:

Yesterday I took a French exam at one of the places where I'm applying for employment. I already took and passed their English exam two weeks ago, and it took them a week to mark all the exams and let us know whether we passed or not.

I wasn't feeling particularly great about how the French exam went, despite assurances that I would do just fine from those who had already heard me speak French. So imagine my surprise when I got a phone call an hour and a half after I got back from the French exam to let me know that I had passed!

Now they're down to a pool of three applicants (myself included) for two jobs. On to the next round of interviews...

It's so hard...

On the right track...

Today I had a really good prelim interview for a job that I would love to have. I passed their English exam with flying colors, so now I have to go next week and sit their French exam. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Fixed!

A couple of nights ago, I sat down on my bed and accidentally popped three slats out of place. I went and reported the problem to the front desk yesterday morning, much to their general amusement.

After I had two rather uncomfortable nights of sleep, the repairman came this afternoon to pop the slats back in place. When I showed him the bed, he got a highly amused look on his face and said, "Eh, vous savez, faut pas faire des folies dessus!"

I protested my innocence, but I don't think he believed me...
