Wednesday I had my 8am economics lecture and then I had to prepare my interview for Monsieur Jacques Henrard, the Secrétaire Général of Jeunesse au Plein Air, a non-profit organisation in France that provides disadvantaged kids with leisure and holiday opportunities. This is an assignment for my course on the non-profit sector, and I've literally been ringing charities out of the blue and asking for an interview. This is the man who finally said yes! haha...
I was furious when my partner didn't show up to the interview (she got 'lost', after already missing our other meeting), but I went in by myself and he turned out to be really nice, not at all intimidating. I asked him questions for about half an hour and I think I understood his replies.
I then had class and after that we all went out for dinner with the teacher in St. Germain, which is called a "Dîner du Conf" (conf is short for conférence). It was great to speak to heaps of the French students, and I met a guy called 'Sylvain Trépide' who is coming to USyd for a year on exchange! What a stereotypically French name.
I then went to bed, absolutely exhausted!
