thank God, i'm masochistic

met the ministry and sciencespo rep. i am in for a good long struggle man. the satellite campus in menton is housed in a XIXe siecle building of the former l'hopital st julien and it overlooking la mer mediterranee. it looks like a holiday inn but it isnt going to be aholiday over there, unlike elsewhere in the us where it is difficult to enter but easy to cruise through.

the french system does not suffer from grade inflation. most students score 10/20 on their equivalent of the gpa, and getting a 12 is already really awesome. i hope i dont die too hard when im there. i cant survive without grade inflation man. without grade inflation i wont even clinch a schship and i will be studying in sim or something.

the boarding looks quite poor too. it says that the female house has toilets on every floor, and it is mentioned as if it is a really big deal. i hope the no-mention on the mens side does not mean that the toilet is 3 streets away so that i should just bring an entrenching tool so that i can dig a hole in the sand on the beach by the mediterranean. shit.

in for a penny, in for a pound.
