What can I say about my internship? It’s not that bad really. What I mean by that is: for all the people out there who are jealous that I get to be in Paris, know that I spent today in a basement kitchen brushing the dirt off of mushrooms for three hours. How do you like my glamour now?

The people are really nice. They are mostly all business, but with a friendly edge. Even when they do have to shout and get on each other’s backs, it’s justified and it all blows over really fast. I haven’t gotten to do anything fun, but I stand there picking through lettuce or plucking the leaves off mint stems while the other people do interesting things. I hoping that after the first week, they may let me do something more fun than clean and sort produce.
