I know the only way I will become fluent in French is if I go to France, live there for a few months, and immerse myself in the French language and culture. I was researching French courses today when I came across a French and cooking course in Montpellier at Accent Français. Just reading this description makes me so want to pack my bags and fly to the south of France to take this French course! Would you like to come and join me?

My sister is planning to apply to business school this year. She’s eying two schools: HBS and Stanford. I tried helping her with her essays, but just to be sure, I wonder if we should go ahead and hire a consultant? While researching online, I came across Penn & Paper, the leader in helping students prepare brilliant admissions essays. Here’s what their home page says:

Wow, I can’t believe my website is live. My too-good-to be-true friend (who won’t allow his name to be mentioned) designed and put up my website in literally 30 minutes. He is a designer, coder, developer – all rolled into one super fast, super professional, super kind, super man. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you! I am grateful beyond words.
