This is a great achievement, and I'm really proud of you! You'll be heading back to Paris with a nice feather in your cap that you probably hadn't even expected six months ago. May the second half of 2017 bring many more lovely things!

Hopefully, my mandatory 6-month internship in July 2018 will lead me to Germany and allow me to perfect my German at the same time.
Till then, I will be investing a lot more time on reading non-fiction and novels in German, as well as listening to the German radio and television programmes. At the C1/C2 level, not only the language has to contain only very few errors, but a substantial cultural baggage is needed to pass the C2. For that, I am currently reading a cute, little yellow book from the Reclam Universal Bibliothek-Verlag on Quantentheorie und Philosophie by the famous German physicist Werner Heisenberg. For what it's worth, the book is surprisingly very easy to understand given the extremely complex concepts related to Quantum Theory - but I am starting to digress. I doubt the Goethe-Zertifikat C2 will require me to write an Aufsatz or to discuss about Schrödinger's cat or anything like that, but the point is that I am learning and reading books in a language that offers a wealth of scientific knowledge - and that feels like a great reward.
After all that has been said, I am now officially on the road to C2.
