Adieu Paris!

Thankfully, le ville chaleur has cooled down really quickly, and the temperature was very soon reinstated. As with any other experiences, last weeks of the internship were times of pressure and rush. But in very positive manner! I felt pressured to explore the city as much as possible to make sure I’m not missing out on cool experiences that Paris can provide. And therefore, I … Continue reading Adieu Paris!

Incroyable – Seulement Une Semaine à Paris?

Oui, une semaine passée à Paris. It’s hard to believe! Mostly because for me, the transition from finishing spring semester in Philly to starting my summer internship was very quick, it feels like I was working on final papers only a few days ago (which is kind of true) but I have already worked at my internship site for a full week.

Yeah, it was a lot… but I’m back!

No title could more accurately describe where I am. I’ve been an awful blogger, leaving our dearest audience up in the air for a good couple weeks since CIES. Looking at it from a different perspective, that in and of itself shows what the life of IEDPers looks like towards the end of the second semester (not trying to justify myself here! no… probably not, … Continue reading Yeah, it was a lot… but I’m back!

Cream of the Crop (in my opinion): International Internship and its Process

Forewarning: No photos for this post! Couldn’t find any visually enticing materials that could be relevant to this topic… yet!
