I feel like this is starting to become a regular feeling and my body may or may not begin to revolt shortly. Tonight I crashed the French 1 dinner down in our basement. All the French classes were invited so I just tagged along with Mags, Lauren, and Steph. Apparently at the French 2/3 dinner everyone in the house jumped on the bandwagon, but I had been at soccer and had missed out on the festivities last week but there was NO way I was going to miss out this time around! What a good choice that was:) I am now pleasantly full with ratatouille, chicken in double cream sauce, chocolate mousse, crepes with jam, and loads of delicious fruit. Needless to say, I wish I could eat this way every night but I know my body would absolutely HATE me if I did--one good thing about the expensive nature of Switz! However, if you check out the exchange rate we are doing quite well and are definitely getting more "bang for our buck" these days.
On another note, my internship at the Child and Adolescent Health (CAH) department at the WHO has been confirmed! I didn't even to have an internship, which obviously has its benefit in the sense of not having to stress out, but additional it's negatives in the sense that I miss out on a chance to practice my professional interview skills. Not to mention I don't get to wow my supervisor in my pre-planned, super professional interview outfit. Oh well, maybe first day get up instead:) Needless to say I am quite pleased and very eager to start on October 17th!
The girls and I are off to Lugano for a quick trip. Despite the 10 hours of train travel, there and back, we will spend 16 hours in the Ticino canton town, who is conveniently hosting a Harvest Festival this weekend! I am sure I will have much to report after this weekend's adventure. Unfortunately, I will be missing a soccer "Canadienne" or potluck tomorrow night as well as a day trip for a game in Grenoble on Sunday. This is technically our "revision" weekend so I felt like I couldn't quite miss a full weekend of studying with finals coming up next Thursday and Friday. I am currently feeling quite envious but excited for all my Santa Clara friends who are meeting up in Munich for Oktoberfest tomorrow. Wishing I could be there to tackle Jacqueline and Casey but I am looking forward to Madrid even more now. We might even try to plan a weekend in Paris, so fingers crossed everything works out! Anyways, have a blast and be safe to all my Broncos heading East this weekend!! xxx
