this could be interesting.

Today I got accepted to take part in a 6-day seminar in Strasbourg, put on by l'Institut des Hautes Etudes de Defense Nationale, at the end of June. I had sent in my application after hearing about it from a guy who was evesdropping on my conversation with my friend, a few weeks back at La Palette. Essentially I will be spending 6 days studying any and all subjects pertaining to strategic studies and geopolitics...and mostly from either experts or officers in the army. At the end of the week we have to hand in a group research project. Not exactly the post-exam debauchery I had envisioned, but this will definitely look good on my resume. And really, how hard can spending a week surrounded by boys from the military academy be?
