Sorry to disappoint...

I survived the commute to my internship interview this morning without cursing, missing a train, or getting lost. Miracle? I think so...

Here's a disappointment for you: an attractive French man spoke to me when I was in a tizzy about to board my train, but our conversation ended after "bonjour" because I don't speak a lick of French (my dad is probably thankful that I took Spanish right now). The train ride to Enghein where I met Jo (pronounced Yo) was beautiful: green grass, rolling hills, windmills, cows grazing, quant houses, etc. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and look forward to escaping city life for 40 minutes everday on the train. The people, well all 8 of them, at Duomedia are very welcoming and anxious for me to join the company. The company started in 1999 and I will be their first intern ever which is exciting for me (yes, I am making history in Belgium) and for them too. I will draft press releases, contact customers to gather data for conducting case studies, learn about brand management and market positioning. Jo picks me up at the train station each day and drives me to the office. He asks a lot of questions and informed me that he will google Tennessee so that he knows about my home state; however, Jo did know that Elvis resided in my state. Hopefully Elvis is not the only thing that TN is known for outside of the US...

Tomorrow is my last first day of classes, so I should go to bed. By the way, HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY, JORDIE!

Whoa whoa whoa prevost... i have loved all of your posts until this one calling Tennessee is your "home state"! Have you forgotten about the first(and best) 18 years of your life!?! I and my fellow Georgians are truly offended...
