Today is one of those days - I am inexplicably tired, which is a bad start. Add to that the fact that the online placement test that I have to take didn't work and therefore I can't place into the right level for the class in a week, and it gets worse. Add to that the fact that in my frustration, I clicked on the other option (the first was I have already taken French before), which was "I have never taken French before," and of course it worked and automatically sent me back a message saying I will be placed in Level 1, introductory French, and blocked me out of the system. So now I am furious. Stupid French people and their dumb internet sites...
I suppose all will be fine in the end: I can talk to the people at the Institute when I get back - and on the bright side, I don't have to take the annoying test at all now. And hopefully Professor Spielmann can take care of it for me while I am on vacation. :) It's just frustrating, nonetheless.
So I spent this morning finishing up last minute French stuff (had to write a separate French blog and email an assignment) and working on internship things. I filled out my new resume for the State Department for the spring semester (due July 1, which is crazy). It's not easy - you have to complete an entirely new resume for it - no simple upload of what I already have. I need to work on the essay today too - or else on the train and hope that I can find internet somewhere and can send it before July 1.
We leave tomorrow for the mega-trip. I need to pack tonight, though my clothes are still in the wash. I also need to work on finalizing plans in all the places we're going - I have never been less prepared for a trip in my life.
Summary of the day: merde.
I am going to get some fresh (87 degrees and humid) air for my sanity now...
