This afternoon, I met with Delphine, a third-year English major who is one of thirty applicants competing for the one spot granted to a Lyon 3 student at Georgetown next year. She speaks English remarkably fluidly (note: I did not say remarkably well) and has already visited DC and the campus after spending last summer in Maryland. It's amazing to me how difficult it is to go to Georgetown from France when coming here, for me, was a piece of cake. I was the only person who applied to the program for the full year, and the paperwork and interviews were really all just formalities. Delphine seems genuinely interested in coming to Georgetown, so I hope it works out for her. She gets the results in 2 weeks.
As for me, I'm counting down the days to my trip to Berlin. Only 6 days left! I've purchased tickets for the gala screening of "An Education" which received positive reviews at Sundance (and a distribution deal from Sony Pictures Classics). I also have a busy week ahead of me, with a planning pow-wow for a weekend in Chamonix tomorrow night, the theater on Friday night, and a concert on Saturday night. I mean, I've got to make these last 4 months count!
