crumbutt

I'm feeling pretty crappy after getting my third rejection email for a summer internship. This one stings even worse because I even interviewed for it -- so even though I was qualified enough to merit a one-on-one talk with the boss, I'm not good enough at talking to people to make them want to share office space with me for 3 months. Super.

To make myself feel better, I'm buying train tickets to Milan. This is a long-awaited trip, and what's more, my Aquilana friend will be there too. My exclusive sources (aka other exchange students) tell me that there's not much to see in the city of Milan, as it is the business/fashion capital of the country and everything exciting happens behind closed doors. As a result, I'm going to dedicate my only full day in Italy to a day trip to Lake Como (assuming the weather cooperates) and go fishing for dashing Hollywood royals (aka George Clooney). I figure chances are good the lake's most famous resident will be in residence, seeing as I'll be there only 3 weeks after the Cannes film festival, and George will probably need a rest after all of that craziness.

Speaking of crazy, I myself am going to the Cannes film festival in exactly one week! It's hard to get excited about it because I have 3 exams between me and my train to Nice, but it is truly one of my dreams come true to go. According to those who have attended before, it is virtually impossible to see anyone important without accreditation (which I don't have). But being in that atmosphere will still be incredibly exciting, and spending 4 days in the south of France is really nothing to complain about.
