I have a potential exchange-type of whatsit with a guy who lives a couple million miles outside Paris, some of Caroline's friends' friends may know of somewhere I can do some low-level (ie not national security) work in Paris over the summer which may mean I could do that and live with her delightful (I'm sure, not having actually met her) Mother-in-Law who lives in lovely rather central Paris without making a pauper of myself by paying more than I earn (as in probably nothing) just to work for someone else... Or I can work on a farm. I keep forgetting to actually look into working on a farm because I'm sure in time they'll fill up with crazy whacko people like me who want to work for nothing and just get sun and language in exchange for their toil (though I hope they consider the occasional meal and a shower as part of the deal too).

Perhaps this planned work and possible exchange will help - or you can do a paid for language course before you sit the test! I hope so too!
