1. I was invited to a Final Interview for Teach for America. I am uber excited because I was advanced straight to the final round which means they thought I was an exceptional candidate. If I got TFA I would be sooo happy because I would no longer have to worry about what I was going to do for the next two years of my life and instead be concentrating on getting set-up and what not. The only problem is that they want me to fly back to the U.S. and I think that would disorient me a little bit too much. I don't know. I hope we can work something out so please wish me luck.
2. I am sort of torn on what I should be doing in Paris. Or rather, I feel rather lazy here after classes and traveling and I am not really up for doing things with a ton of people I don't really know and do not really plan on being friends with in the future. Essentially, I have all of my friends at home and I am about to graduate and have so many other life things to worry about, that it is difficult to really expend energy on trying to be friends with everyone on the program and going out. Lee suggested that I should try to figure out why I came to Paris and what would deem this trip successful. My mom tells me that this trip is costing a lot of money so I better hop to it. It's just wierd. I think a lot of it is me being a homebody. Kaitlin will tell you that while a lot of people think I go out to clubs every weekend, I usually stay home and watch Say Yes to the Dress and drink tea. And when I go back I will steal her snuggie and do the same thing. But am I really living. Does going out until five in the morning every Wednesday thru Thursday deem living or are those stages that I have already outgrown. Just a debate in my head. Should I try to make friends here? SHould I ignore the fact that not a lot of people invite me to hang out with them and that I feel shunned which is a feeling I never really had to worry about before in my life?
3. To write a B.A. or to not write a B.A. is the question.
4. To study for my Gmat or to not study for my Gmat. Also a question.
ADVICE!!!! COMMENTS!!!
Until next time mes amis

1. NICE JOB! Automatically moved to the final round of interviews? That is amazing!! They want to fly you back to the US, though? If that is what needs to be done, then do it. Is there some way they can interview you in Paris?
ReplyDelete2. I can't wait for you to get back so we can watch Say Yes to the Dress and drink tea. And then keep watching until the episode comes on again a few hours later. Hahaha.
I can't really tell you what you should be getting out of Paris, but I would say 'soak it up.' What have you found that you like doing the most? Wandering around the city and visiting places you'd never see in the US? Then do that. You don't need to be friends with everyone in the group to do that. Also, don't let haters bring you down.
3. When is your BA due? It'd be nice to write one, but not necessary. Since you want to work the next few years, then the BA you wrote a while ago might not be that important to wherever you apply for business school. Do business schools even look at that?
4. No need to take the GMAT if you are getting a job next year. You could also take it at the end of Spring Quarter.
