My internship looks like it is going to start. I am being very cautions in hopes that I don't jinx it. I finally got a call from the lawyer today and we FINALLY set up a time to meet. This should be an oppurtunitly like no other because she is the director of the international arbitration section in the biggest law firm in France. International arbitration is such a hard field to break into that I am hoping my schmoozing/networking skills will come to life.
Title explanation:
So the daughters of my host took their father's last name, Hilton. I just realized that if I can somehow date one of them, I'd be dating a Hilton in Paris. Although, I despise Paris Hilton, it does make for an interesting story for children or grandchildren. "Oh yes I dated a Paris Hilton" I just won't tell them it was a Hilton in Paris not the Paris Hilton.
Weirdest Ad Yet in France:
On the Metro (subway here) today I noticed a particular sign that was kind of odd...
I will let you decide for yourself here you go:

It is for Eurostar (a highspeed European Train) promoting Romance in London. Sadly it took me 3 times staring at the sign before I realized they were not just talking about breakfast with your loved one in london.
Near Death Moment:
Today walking down the street I had a pigeon that was flying directly at me chest high and going 20 miles per hour. Normally I am used to birds flying around humans, this time I had to jump out of the way to avoid a collapsed lung and big poof of feathers. It was only about 6 inches from me before jumped out of the way. So lets recap, so far pigeons have pooped on my black shirt I just bought and one of only 2 shirts I had at the time, and now nearly impaled my chest.
Pigeons: 2 Me: pathetic

The best ad I saw in England was this old couple driving down the road in their car. They were naked. They start coming up on a guy walking down the road, the old man leans out the window and smacks the guy with a giant fish.
It was an ad for the car. I think it was a VW bug.
