I got my internship!

SCHILTIGHEIM, FRANCE One of the main reasons I came to Strasbourg was the possibility of landing an internship with the Council of Europe. I interviewed for it last Friday, and today I found out that I got it! So, starting sometime soon, I’ll be working (for free) in the Council of Europe’s office of the [...]

Je suis arrivé!

SCHILTIGHEIM, FRANCE FYI: When I write something extremely long and boring like this, I really don’t expect anyone to read it all. I really do it mostly for myself. Now that that’s been said, I have a lot to update y’all on, so I’ll start recently and work backwards, non-linearly. Salut, je suis Gary At [...]

In fact, my highlight of the afternoon [...]

Gary Butterworth and a Semester Abroad

MARLTON, NJ, USA Well, my bags are packed/I’m ready to go….I’m leaving on a jet plane/and I don’t know when I’ll be back again. Air France flight #7 leaves JFK-NYC for CDG-Paris at around 8pm. If you wake up tomorrow morning and there’s no breaking news on CNN about a plane crash, you’ll know that [...]

No triple crown :-(

BLACKWOOD, NJ For those of you who were following this year’s Butterworth Championship Series, the Eddie Shore Coleco Table Hockey Tournament was last night. After winning the 1st annual ButterBowl last January (it’s pretty obvious that there won’t be a ButterBowl this year. This is completely due to laziness on my part. Sorry ’bout that), [...]
