Closer and Closer...

So far I've packed and re-packed everything for my trip, oh I'd say about 10 times now (no exaggeration).
I know, I know but that's how nervous I am about leaving something important behind. Can't forget the lady essentials, ya know what I mean? Ha.

I can't believe it. I am finally going to France! I've been wanting to go since I was 14. Initially, the plan was to go to Italy but then I realized that I would come back to the US of A and not use a lick of the language so...I decided to stick to my childhood dream and get back to my roots so France, here I come!

It's really funny to me that I have a blog. I'm not much of a blogger, in fact I will admit that I haven't thought highly about bloggers but in this case I make an exception. I'm leaving the country and people want to know what I am doing I guess. I'll try to keep it updated as much as I can.

I am the type of person who always trys to imagine what a new experience will be like. This, however is huge. I have no idea what to expect, except for bits and pieces the pioneers before me have experienced. I keep hearing that no matter what people tell me, the experience of studying abroad is obviously different for everyone but one thing is for sure: you come back with a whole new outlook on life, which is pretty much what I might be needing at this point in my life. I'm excited to learn about a different culture and way of life. I know it will be vastly different then what I'm used to but I'm ready for a change. So here's to leaving to France in about...eight days! Bring it on!!!

Later folks,
