Super-Duper Wacky n' Tacky Euro Adventure

in less than twelve hours. Luckily the fact that I haven't packed yet won't keep me from watching at least five Daily Show clips and two South Parks and still get up to run and go "grocery" shopping tomorrow. Yes, I did put quotes around "grocery." There, I did it again. Watcha gonna do??

Speaking of travel, guess who's Element Moscow's newest travel writer? Oh yeah. Cognac region. How could Russians not want to read about that ?

Today brought to a conclusion another work week here in Paris that seem to be passing way, way too quickly. I can remember a time during winter quarter where my biggest hope was for time to pass quickly and get to spring break already. But as with most things in life, things change and so does my mood. I'm honestly having a great time here, and I really want to cherish this time and the people as much as possible. I know that this weekend trip will be just what the doctor ordered to strengthen some already bad-ass friendships.

My internship seems to be working out pretty well. As I found out yesterday, my mentor already had forecasts (one of the many things I was doing) for H&M growth, but he just wanted to see if I could do it. So when he gave me the actual numbers, I was a little dissapointed that I'm pretty much useless to the firm at this point, but I was more interested in how my forecasts held up against pro's who really do this stuff for a living (I'm not getting paid, remember?). Well, of course they were off. I gave the UK a little too much of a boost and didn't give Slovakia enough credit for growth potential. Oh well. All in all, i was kinda impressed with myself that the numbers were more or less (more less than more) the same. Cool. I've now moved on to other cool accounting techniques and formulas. Most people would probably hate this internship, but I'm into it at the moment. Let's hope that lasts. Oh, and apparently there will be 18 H&Ms in Ireland by 2011, not 12 like I had predicted.

So people are still putting up pics from that one night at the Sangria bar, so I'll jut have to continue that tradition (up above). Many more (high quality) pics of the bing trip to come.
