Luck

I feel really lucky after this past week. So many awesome things happened and I just wanted to share them with all of you!

On Monday, I found out that I will be interning at the Whitney Museum of American Art in the city this summer. For the past three or so months I have been freaking out about finding a summer internship and so to have been offered a dream position like this was the best way to start my week. 

On Wednesday, I had my first final exam of the semester and it wasn't too bad so that's always good news. Only one more to go! (It's in 3 weeks - France is weird)

On Friday, I found out that I have been tapped to join Dickinson's senior women's honorary society, Wheel and Chain, also know as the Blue Hats. It's really hard to explain to people who don't go to Dickinson but it's a group of 10 or so women who can be recognized on campus by their (our - weird!) signature blue hats. It's a huge honor and I feel so lucky to have been chosen to continue the legacy of such incredible ladies. I remember when I was a freshman thinking that all of the blue hats were some of the most amazing girls on campus and now I'm one of them! Crazy!

To top it all off, yesterday Meri and I went on a tour of Airbus! For those of you who know me pretty well, you know that I have this really weird obsession with planes and basically all things aviation. Needless to say it was one of my favorite days of being abroad thus far. Airbus is headquartered in Toulouse so we went out to their campus and got to see where they make the A380, the largest plane in the world. It's the one that has two full passenger decks. It's like a double decker plane and it's SO COOL. I really want to fly on one. All of the parts of the plane are made in different parts of Europe and then they get shipped to Toulouse for assembly. We saw the huge hangar that can house 4 of them inside and then the area where they get worked on outside. I could have stayed there all day. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the facility so enjoy this super cool photo of me being really lame:

I'm currently sitting on the bus going to Aix-en-Provence for Dickinson's spring break trip. I'll be back in Toulouse on Wednesday night and then I leave for more travel on Thursday.

May 22nd is just around the corner, it's insane!

Home in 25 days!
