New life, here I come!

For those who don't already know, it's finally done, I found an internship! I'm going to work at a company called Cartus, it's a leader in global employee mobility, they work with big international companies and provide them help in relocation, management and cost reduction for example. I don't know exactly what I will be doing but something related to international communication and then there will be a project in management control and profitability calculation, something that the previous intern started and that I will hopefully finish. My boss is a French-American women, she is super nice and she keeps telling me that I will be doing a little bit of everything and that the most important thing is that I will work with something that I like and that I get the most out of my internship. She really seems friendly and I like this whole not so French atmosphere there. :)

 

Anyway, the company is well known and international and this internship will certainly be a great experience and look good on my CV. And I can't believe that for the first time in my life, I have a real job! No work on evenings or week-ends. I will have my own little office, I can dress nice, wear high heels and I don't have to tie my hair up. With my friend E who's also doing an internship, we are so excited about the fact that this summer we can go to after work parties and actually be like adults who have a real office job and who go to after works from there. I feel like I'm finally going to the right direction, towards a real career and that my studies are worth something. I've been working at cafés and smoothie bars for quite a long time now and it has been nice but I really hope I never have to go back to that. Wish me luck!

 

And the funny thing is, you know how frustrating this job hunting has been, I've sent almost a hundred applications and created profiles to at least twenty different recruitment web sites, and I really started to panic a little bit because if I didn't do an internship, I wouldn't pass my year. So now finally, when I got this job at Cartus, I also got one other interesting offer that I had to refuse (hope I did the right choice!) and this week and last week almost every day someone has called me for job interviews. Great.

 

As I had promised to myself a while ago that I would do, when I got the job, I walked straight away to Minelli and bought the turquoise clutch that I told you about before. It's beautiful, I'm already starting to love it as much I loved my old turquoise Minelli clutch bag. And this is just a coincidence, but the first time I wore it, I went to Montmartre for drinks with E. I walked pass the place where my old bag was stolen and I could literally feel the danger. Haha, but nothing happened, thank God. But maybe I should have bought two of them, just in case. :)

 

 

 

 

 

So a new life is really starting for me now. On Friday I had my last class at Uni and the next time I will go there for classes, that will be in October and Master's degree! We still have our final exams in the end of May and since I start my job next Thursday, I really need to organize my time if I'm going to study and have good grades. But now I'm on holidays until Thursday and I've been doing basically nothing but sleeping, partying and having fun.

 

 

I started taking it easy a little before my last class, well after the last tests. On Wednesday, beautiful weather and a piquenique catch up with R and M at Pont des Arts.

 

We saw this beautiful rose ceremony on a boat

And as always at Pont des Arts, a lovely sunset

 

 

 

On Thursday night, drinks with some of my friends from Uni to celebrate the end of classes

And later I was invited for dinner at Café Marly, terrace overlooking the pyramid of Louvre

 

 

Saturday night with M and D. First sushi and champagne at M's place, then drinks and dancing at the Kong club. Life is good.

 

Tomorrow Monday and I have nowhere to be. Perfect, I so needed these couple of days off. I don't think I'm going to do anything, just some more sleeping. And I will start studying for my exams. Maybe...

 

Love you,
