Francophile in the West

Another month later, here I am, updating my digital life story. In the briefest of brief updates, in slightly less than seven weeks, I will be a Master. A Master of Arts in International Studies, with concentrations in Europe and Environmental Policy, that is. However, when it comes to my life right now, the operative word is a French word ( quelle surprise ). That word is entre-temps . "In the meantime" , literally, in between times. I am in between times. I am in between the reality of graduate school and the reality of professional life post-graduation. I'm trying to find a job, trying to find a new apartment, trying to find a new direction. I am, succinctly, in between phases of life. This is an interesting spot in which to be, but it's an excellent spot in which to find myself. I have no limits, nothing to hold me back, nothing to make me say "No". While there is stress and uncertainty, there is also joy and relief and renewal. Renouvellement. Repr
